Step #1
To add the Featured Posts widget to your sidebar, go to Appearance > Widgets in your WordPress dashboard. There you will see the “Genesis – Featured Pages” widget as an available widget which you will move into the widget area of your choice. You can use this widget as many times as you like, with different configurations in each instance of the widget.
Step #2
The widget interface should be self-explanatory. Here’s what each option does:
- Title – the title of the widget
- Page – the page you want to display
- Show Page Image – Shows the page image – depending upon your child theme, a variety of sizes will be available
- Image Alignment – allows you to display the image on top of the content, or to the left or right of the content
- Show Page Title – displays the title of the page
- Show Page Byline – this is the post meta info (Date, Author, and a link for the visitor to comment)
- Show the Content – shows the complete content of the post, including images (not recommended if you have large images in the post content). Use the “more” button to split post content. Everything above the “More” will display in the widget.
- Content Limit characters – use this to avoid having to use the “More” button – set the number of characters you want to be shown in the widget. This will remove HTML formatting.
- More Text (if applicable): – links to the rest of the page’s content
Here’s an example of this widget in action:
Displaying the Widget Title, Page Title, Sidebar 2 Page Image with an alignment of “none”, and Page Content with a 200 character limit.

Step #2
The widget interface should be self-explanatory. Here’s what each option does:
- Title – the title of the widget
- Category – you can display posts from all categories, or just from one specific category
- Number of Posts to Show – how many posts to display
- Number of Posts to Offset – this is useful when you have one or more posts displayed in full on the main portion of your page – simply offset by the number of posts in the main area, and only distinct content will show in the widget.
- Order By
- (date) – the date on the post
- (title) – alphabetical order
- (parent) – useful for when you are displaying all categories – keeps your posts grouped by category
- (ID) – the order in which the posts were created
- (Comment Count) – shows those with the most comments first
- (Random) – random order
- Show Author Gravatar – the author must have a gravatar from http://gravatar.com associated with the email address in their profile. You can set the gravatar size, and choose if the image should be to the left or right of the text, or display above it.
- Show Post Image – this will display the first image uploaded to the post as a 150 x 150 thumbnail. You don’t have to display the image in the post, or use a custom field. As with the Author Gravatar, you can choose to place this image on the left, right, or above the text.
- Show Post Title – displays the title of the post
- Show Post Byline – this is the post meta info (Date, Author, and a link for the visitor to comment)
- Hide the Content – hides all content and only displays Title/Byline
- Show the Excerpt – a teaser which refers to the first 55 words of the post’s content. All HTML tags and graphics are stripped from the excerpt’s content.
- Show the Content – shows the complete content of the post, including images (not recommended if you have large images in the post content). Use this if you want to show an excerpt of the post that contains images and HTML – use the “more” button to split post content. Everything above the “More” will display in the widget.
- Content Limit characters – functions just like the excerpt, but gives you more control over the number of characters shown.
- More Text (if applicable): – links to the rest of the post’s content
- Unordered List of Posts – this will display just the titles of posts in the category or categories chosen, and will automatically exclude the posts shown above
- Show Category Archive Link – if only one category is selected for the widget, use this to display a link to the rest of the posts in that category
- Link Text: – links to the rest of the category’s content
