claradev7 7 February 2017
Hi, Usually I have seen many plugin with footer of post but rare to see in widget. This plugin break that provide through widgets. Cool. Suggestions: 1. If possible link the total post numbers to see all post 2. Try to add last recent post and comment, if possible 🙂 3. On hover author description. Other than that.. really awesome…
