I want to give five stars, this is a great widget for controlling which categories show, but it hasn’t been update in a year and there hasn’t been much of any response in support for a lot longer than that.. I am crossing my fingers, hoping the plugin author might show some interest, check it out, bring it current…? This review can change…
