Can't sort the links by post type

If you’re using the widget, you’ll need to select posts under Post type.

I did that. Posts is the only thing thats checked, but everything is appearing still.

I resolved this myself. Updating this in the settings did not work and I wasted a bunch of time trying to figure out why. I discovered that the actual widget also has settings to sort the post types. Setting to only show blog posts worked here. I’m fairly new to WordPress so maybe this would have been easier to resolve if I knew the system better, however, this functionality is confusing.

I’ll clarify a bit more in terms of the widget. I understand it might be a bit confusing at starters. The Settings page are for global settings, but the widget controls and overrides many of them. However, there are limitations in what can be done given the way the options are placed.

I might make a few more tweaks in the future to this accord.
