# How do I hide, pin or approve the posts in my widget?

> Post moderation for your widget: hide one post, pin your best posts first, hide posts with words such as sale, or approve each new post before it shows on your website.

You choose which posts show on your website. Hide a post that you do not want there, pin your best posts so they show first, or approve each new post before your visitors see it.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Hide, pin and approve are on Pro widgets. Pro widgets come with the Lite, Pro and Developer plans. Every paid plan starts with a 14-day free trial. See [Free and Pro widgets](https://snapwidget.com/docs/getting-started/free-and-pro-widgets.md).

## Open the posts of your widget

**1. Open your widget**

On your [dashboard](https://snapwidget.com/dashboard), click the widget.

**2. Click Posts**

Above the preview, click **Posts**. You see the posts of your widget, newest first. Click **Load more posts** to see older posts.

Each change saves at once. You do not need to change the code on your website. After you hide, show, pin or approve a post, you can click **Undo** in the message at the bottom of the screen.

## Hide a post

Click **Hide** under the post. The next post takes its place.

To show the post again, open the **Hidden** tab and click **Show**.

To hide several posts at once, tick them, then click **Hide** in the bar above the posts. When approval is on, the bar also has **Approve**.

## Pin a post

Click the pin button under the post. Pinned posts show first in your widget. The post that you pinned last comes first. Your pinned posts stay first when you post something new. You can pin up to 12 posts.

To unpin a post, click the pin button again.

## Hide posts with words

Click **Rules**. In **Hide posts with these words**, type the words, with a comma between them. For example: `sale, discount, giveaway`. Then click **Save rules**.

Posts with one of these words do not show, now and in the future. A word matches only as a whole word, so `sale` does not hide a post about "sales" or "wholesale". Japanese words match anywhere in the text. Posts that you pinned, approved or showed stay on your widget.

A post that a rule hides says why, for example **Hidden: has "sale"**. To show one of these posts, click **Show** under it.

On Instagram and Facebook widgets, **Rules** also lets you show **Photos only** or **Videos and reels only**.

## Approve new posts before they show

**1. Choose Wait for my approval**

Click **New posts** and select **Wait for my approval**. Then click **Turn on approval**.

Your widget keeps the posts it shows today, at least the newest 30. Posts that you approved before stay approved. Older posts show **Not approved** in the list. To put one back on your widget, click **Approve** under it.

Each new post waits on the **Waiting** tab until you approve or hide it. A post that waits for 30 days leaves the **Waiting** tab. You can still approve it under **All posts**.

**2. Approve the posts that you want**

Open the **Waiting** tab. Click **Approve** to show a post, or **Hide** to keep it off your widget.

When new posts wait, we email you once a day. In a [team](https://snapwidget.com/docs/account/team.md), the email goes to the team owner. To stop these emails, turn off **Email me when posts wait**.

The **Approved** tab shows the posts that you approved and the posts that your widget kept. A post there that a rule hides says so, for example **Hidden: has "sale"**.

To show new posts at once again, click **New posts**, select **Show at once**, and click **Show at once** in the box that opens. Every post then shows again, also the posts on the **Waiting** tab and the posts that showed **Not approved**. Posts that you hid stay hidden. You cannot undo this.

> [!TIP]
>
> To show only some of your posts, for example only photos of your customers: choose **Wait for my approval**, then hide the posts on the **Approved** tab that you do not want.

## Your other widgets and accounts

* A hide changes only this widget. Your other widgets and your Instagram account stay the same.
* When you remove an account from your widget, the posts that you hid, pinned or approved from that account go too.
