How to Add the Privacy Policy as a Widget on the sidebar

Since I can't create any training before I complete 3 months as a premium member, I thought I'd share a training here.
I've been struggling for weeks to have the privacy policy as a link or a clickable featured image on the sidebar instead of a page on the main menu. Finally I figured it out.
Each one of us has a plugin installed by default by WA called 'Exclude Pages from Navigation'. Create a page called Privacy Policy. Scroll down the page, and under Exclude Pages, uncheck 'include this page in lists of pages'. Above it, you can add a featured image, that's what I did. After you are done with that, click on Publish.

Go to your widgets and add a widget called 'Feature a Page". This widget came automatically with my paid theme, not sure if you can install it as a plugin but try. Add the title "Privacy Policy", select 'Featured Image', select the layout you want (I selected big image), and under show page element, I selected 'Featured Image', then save. It will show on the sidebar as a clickable image that will take your visitors to your hidden page from the menu.
I hope this was helpful to some of you and I would love to hear your feedback.
Thanks.
