New to WordPress in general, been having fun playing about with themes.

I have a site at the moment with a Latest Posts box at the top. I want this to display the 5 latest posts made to any category.

The problem I have is, this list only display posts from the category you are currently on. I.e., when on website.com/?cat=6, it only displays posts from category 6, but I want it to always have a list from all categories.

Is this doable?
