That’s normal: those two streams are independent. Anyway, you can follow this way in order to solve this.
If you show 5 posts in the main page, you can tell the plugin to skip the first 5 posts: simply insert 5 in the “Skip this number of posts” field.
Let me know.

OK, but what if I don’t want to skip posts. I’d like to select which ones will be shown in the main page and which ones in the sidebar.
Can this be done too?
I really appreciate your help, thank you again.
The posts in the main column of your page is managed by your theme, so you should see how to select the posts. In the sidebar, instead, you can control which posts to display via the plugin.

OK, we don’t understand each other. :/
I have 5 categories. They can be displayed in the main page or in the sideber. I want to display some of them in the main page and some of them in the sidebar. That’s why I need a checkmark (or something else) when posting to choose where the post will be displayed.
I somehow need to tell the sidebar which post I’d like to have there. And that post should not be display in the main page.

Ok. I might have found a solution but it does not work well. π
I’m using 6th category again. This one should be displayed in the sidebar.
I tried to choose them in the “Get posts with these categories” section. No success! Some categories are working in pairs, some don’t. That’s strange. Perhaps there are troubles with specific characters like ΔΕ‘ΔΕΎΔ?
If that would work I would still have to find a way to disable the 6th category in the main page.

The tags are working well though (sidebar is showing posts with a selected tag) but I cannot manage that the main page would not display those posts.

Well, it was the character’s fault. I think I solved it.
Thanks for everything!

Hi again. π
I’d like the publish date to be smaller and colored red.
Can I kindly ask you for a css addition?
Thank you!
Hi π
add these lines in the widget admin:
.pis-date {
font-size: 12px;
color: #ff0000;
}
Cheers!

Oh, one more thing. π
I’d also like to increase the spacing between image and title. Let’s say 10 px in both ways, top and bottom.
Thank you!
Add this:
img.pis-thumbnail-img {
margin: 10px 0;
}
Let me know if it’s OK.
