It doesn’t show the “standard” post format, which pretty much most of the posts.

The actual set of all formats includes the original “standard” and the additional new formats. Maybe this is just an opinion, but the point is site visitors don’t know this distinction.

This widget is really filtering out the standard posts, to just one of the special new formats. The title I’m using for this in the side bar to explain it to visitors is “Show me only…”

The way this widget works now is likely to confuse the casual reader trying to find something that may be a “standard” post.

Another use, if it could show only standard posts, is to help the reader filter out those other “new” posts. Maybe they don’t want to see video posts, for example, and only look at standard posts.

What I’d like is for the user to click on any of the possible posts.

Is there a way to change this to show standard posts?
Possibly something you’d add?

Any chance you could add a class/selector to the item that is clicked/currently selected?

This would allow styling to show the active item in the widget… and would make this already great widget so much better! ??
