How to list posts of same category on the sidebar in WordPress?

I am just starting with wordpress. I am making a educational blog site(English learning site) using wordpress. It has different category’s like Writing, Reading, Listening etc. I want to list posts of same category in the sidebar. The site layout is below:

It looks something like this, where posts under WRITING category is showen in the sidebar(right side) and the user is reading the post of same category(WRITING) in the left side.

Problem:

I could t LISTS posts of same category in the SIDEBAR.

  1. Is there any plugin that I have install?
  2. Which theme should I use to achieve this layout?
  3.  Should I have to use other site builder instead of  ELEMENTOR?

As I am new to wordpress, your guide will be HIGHLY appreciated.

      Method 1 : Using Same Category Posts

      If your website does not have a lot of content to choose from yet, the Same Category Posts is your best option. It will simply display posts that are in the same category, which is usually exactly what visitors are looking for.

      First off, you will need to install and activate the plugin. Once that is taken care of, click on Appearance, and select the Widgets option.

      Widgets

      This plugin doesn’t have a settings page. Instead, it simply adds a new widget to your website. The widget handles everything, which makes this very easy to set up.

      Locate the Same Category Posts widget and add it to your sidebar area.

      Same Category Posts

      The widget has four sections of options. The first is the title. Here you can create a title for your related content. Something like “You may also like…” works great.

      The next section is the Filter. Here, you can choose what the widget will display. You can choose a post in the same category, tag, or format and choose to exclude pieces. You can also choose how the related content is sorted.

      The third option allows you to display the post thumbnail. Since this will be in your sidebar, I recommend leaving the box unchecked. The thumbnail images will take up too much room, but the choice is yours.

      Lastly is the Post Details section. Here you will simply select some additional post details to share. These include an excerpt, comments, date, and author. Again, you may want to not select any of these to save room when you show related posts.

      Once you are done, click on the “Save” button.

      Save Button

      The widget will only be visible on post content. This means you do not have to worry about it appearing on your home page or landing page.

      Visit any post to see the related article widget in action.

      See The Widget In Action

      Congratulations on setting up the Same Category Posts plugin.

      Method 2 : Built-In Theme Tools

      Some themes have built-in tools that make it easy to share recent posts with visitors. The keyword here is “some” themes.

      Not all themes have the ability built in. A good way to check is by using the WordPress Customizer tool.

      For instance, the free theme ColorMag has related posts built into the design tool. If you go to Appearance > Customize > Content of the ColorMag theme, you’ll see an option to enable related posts by categories or tags.

      Related Posts in ColorMag

      Because every theme is different, I strongly urge you to check your theme’s page and search for related post tools.
