    Hi,

    Does anybody know how I can make some posts appear static on the sidebar? On Recent Posts, the old ones are pushed away by the new ones. I want some posts to show always.

    To make articles(created as pages) show on the sidebar, I created my own menu on “menus”, and chose the pages I want to display. And then I used the custom menu widget. The problem is that it works only for pages. When creating my own menu I can only select pages and not posts(they are not visible).

    Another question. On top of the posts it says “Posted by Admin” and “Posted in Uncategorized”. Can I make the “Posted in Uncategorized” disappear?

    Thanks in advance.

    When you create the menu in Appearance > Menus look at the Screen Options. You can select Posts there

    It was that easy. Thank you very much keesiemeijer. You really made my day.

    You would really make my day square 2 if you would also answer the second question :). I’ve seen in some blogs that they don’t have the text Posted in ‘a certain category’, they just have the name. How can I make the category now show?

    Delete this from archive.php, index.php, search.php and single.php:

    <h3>
Posted by <span><?php the_author() ?></span>  |  Posted in <span><?php the_category(', ') ?></span>  |  Posted on <?php the_time('d-m-Y') ?>
</h3>
