Not sure why wordpress, and some other widgets, don't allow you to do this. It's
so simple. Thanks for this plugin. Very much appreciated and works perfectly!

Probado en Wordpress 5.2.1 funciona correctamente. Es muy simple de configurar y
funcional. Es posible configurar el título, el número de entradas máximo que se 
quieren mostrar de la categoría y también el número máximo de caracteres para cada
enlace. Fácil, sin más florituras innecesarias. Personalmente justo lo que andaba
buscando. Gracias!!!
