Hello Gil,

Thanks for writing in! You can utilize the Cornerstone > Global Blocks and then create the Looper that displays the related posts from the same category. Take note of the Global Block shortcode and then you can add it in a widget that will be displayed in your custom sidebar plugin. If you are not familiar with the global blocks yet, please check out these documentations:

• Global Blocks | Themeco Docs
• Loopers | Themeco Docs
• How to exclude current post from recent posts - Support - Themeco Forum

Hope this helps.

Thank you for your solution, witch query should i choose in the Looper to displays the related posts from the same category?

Hello Gil,

In order to display the related post of the same category, you need to set the Looper provider as Query String. Please have a look at our doc of the looper to learn more about how to use a query string.

Loopers | Themeco Docs

  category_name={{dc:term:slug}}&post_type=post&posts_per_page=3&offset=0&ignore_sticky_posts=1&post__not_in%5B0%5D={{dc:post:id}}

Hope it helps
Thanks

Thanks you very much, i lavrage this query and designed a perfect side bar for single post layout.
I was wondering if i can make the section/ elements stiky wen i scroll on desktop without using plugins

Hi Gil,

Glad that it works for you. Unfortunately, it is not possible to make the Section or any elements sticky, but you can try the DIV element and the Position > Fixed, if that works for you.

If that is not what you are trying to achieve, it requires complex custom coding which is beyond the scope of Theme Support. I would suggest you hire a developer who can assist you to do the customization or you can avail of our newly launched service called Elite service, where we offer complex customization

Thanks
