First, you need to create some posts under any post type to display them, then follow the steps - 

1. Add the Blog Listing widget to a page or template. 

2. Then, go to the **Layout** tab and select the appropriate listing type from the **Post Listing Types** dropdown. 

3. After that, select the appropriate **Style **and **Layout** (except Carousel).

4. Then, go to the **Category Wise Filter** tab and enable the **Category Wise Filter** toggle.

5. After that, select the **AJAX **option from the **Filter Type** dropdown.

6. Now, you will see the **URL** **Enable **toggle option under the **Special Option** tab. Enable it.

> *Note: So, the ****URL Enable**** option works like this: when you select a specific category to show your posts, a unique URL is created. If you share that URL with someone, they will see the same selected category when they open it.*
