Tell us what you are trying to do?
I'm building a website that hosts short courses. I created a custom post type "Courses". Under courses, I created a taxonomy called "Course Category". Under course category, I created a few terms.

I have a page called " Short Course" and want to display only 6 latest posts/Courses in one of the Course Category terms. For some reason, I can't get that post items to show. I only see the latest post widget that only shows the standard WordPress posts. The custom post type terms aren't showing in that widget under Categories. I hope this make sense.

Can you please point me in the right direction?

What is the link to your site?

Hi,

Thank you for contacting us and I'd be happy to assist.

The "Latest Posts" widget that comes with WordPress is designed only to work with regular posts.

For creating a customized list from custom post types, you can use the Toolset's "Views" block, as explained in this guide:

I hope this helps and please let me know if you need any further assistance around this.

regards,
Waqar

Thanks Waqar. Your feedback helped a lot. From that article you sent me, I realised that I had to use a View with a Query filter to filter the terms. Thanks again!! My issue is resolved now. Thank you!
