Issue

Log in as Admin
Add a Blogs portlet on Liferay home page
Add an entry
Navigate to Control Panel > Sites
Create a new Site (eg: Liferay 2)
Create a new page on the Site
Add Blogs portlet and Blogs Aggregator
Add a Blog entry in the Blogs portlet
Aggregator will show both entries (the one from Liferay site and the other from Liferay 2)
Open the portlet's configuration > Scope

Expected Result: Scope can be changed between Liferay and Liferay 2 or show both.

Actual Results: Scope is already set to Liferay 2, but the portlet still shows the entries from both sites. Changing the scope to anything else has no effect either.

Environment

Liferay DXP 7.4

Resolution

When you open the Configuration menu for the Blogs Aggregator portlet, on the Setup tab you will have to change the Selection Method from "Users" to "Scope".
