On the homepage under the featured section we’d like to be able to have multiple categories rather than just the most recent posts but keeping the same style we have now. We thought we could do this with the widget area ‘Footer Subscribe’ but the only posts widget is most recent so we can’t filter by category.

Would it be possible to have multiple sections like in the image attached, one for each category? For example, New, Events, Video. 3 we could have a row of 3 posts from each category?

We have edited the template code to now have two sections, but we can’t figure out how to change the recent posts to a specific category on each section. See code below.
