Adding thumbnails to Recent Posts widget

Hi,
Is there a way to add thumbnails to Recent Posts widget in the Sidebar?
Also, I am not able to add space between paragraphs and headings. I've exhausted all the options in the Typography section, increased Paragraph bottom margin, line height, spacing, etc. none seems to work thus far...
The formatting remains intact in the Visual Editor. Only when I preview the page on the frontend do I see that it has not effect on paragraph spacing at all.
Hi there,
the core Recent Posts widget doesn't have Thumbnails. You would need a plugin to do that - for example:
https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/recent-posts-widget-with-thumbnails/
Is there a particular page or post where the changes to typography are not being displayed ?
Alright, thanks for the heads up. The typography issue is sorted now with a couple of tweaks.
However, I am not able to display default social media icons/widgets (that come with the theme) anywhere across the site. I tried doing so in the Sidebar but all I can see is an empty widget box.
As a workaround of sorts, I tried Lightweight Social icons and it doesn't resolve the issue either.
Try using a GB Buttons Block to just add the Icons:
https://docs.generateblocks.com/article/buttons-overview/#icon
There is an option to Remove Text so just the icon is displayed.
I've made all the requisite changes, removed text from the GB Buttons block, however, there seems to a bug/conflict of sorts with the last social media button. http://prnt.sc/20d7vqs
No matter what margin, padding, or spacing I use, this button doesn't resize at all.
Update: I figured it, never mind.
Lovin' the theme. Pretty smooth.
Glad to hear that!
