Is it possible to have it so that certain posts don't show up on the recent posts widget in Wordpress?

Is there a plugin that can do this?

Hmm, I think you'd have to delve into code for that.

Are you able to allocate such posts to their own category?

If so, you can use a plugin like 'Category Visibility' (not tried it personally) to exclude that category of posts. Does that work for this case?

Here is a custom recent posts widget that allows you to specify which categories are to be included or excluded from the list of recent posts.

Sarah,

Have you tried my plugin?

I've now added a checkbox to every post so that you can exclude single posts from recent posts widget as well.
