Recent posts by category

I’d like to show all the recent posts for a particular category in the sidebar of its category archive page

Hello Arthur,

Thanks for writing in!

Which recent post widget you are using in the sidebar? If you are using the default WordPress recent post widget, regretfully this widget will only display the latest and you cannot display post items of a particular category. If you are using the classic recent post shortcode in the sidebar, you may need to apply dynamic content into it.

For example:

[x_recent_posts type="post" count="4" offset="" category="{{dc:archive:id}}" orientation="horizontal" no_sticky="true" no_image="false" fade="false"]

Hope this works out for you.
