[Plugin: Featured Page Widget] links to posts broken – it doesn't pick up the category or post

I’ve got this mostly working except there’s one MAJOR problem. My links to posts are broken because this doesn’t pick up the category or the post number in the links.

For example the post is REALLY here:

http://www.sitename.com/uncategorized/1/hello-world/

But the links in this featured plugin only give me:

http://www.sitename.com/hello-world/

So I get 404’s on any clicks to the posts from the featured post area on the sidebar. Any ideas how to fix?
