For the rest of us – the solution is I set the checkbox when FIRST ADDING WIDGET… This does not show if shortcode is used – only if you use the widget.
Lastly: I did uncheck the box in the widget, refreshed, used different browser, etc. and the link still is active. The reason I want to remove the link is that using target=”_blank” is not enough secure enough as I use rel=”noopener noreferrer” prevent hacks into my site.
Any Help?? I really need to remove link.

You are right, this only applies to the widget. In the editor of the widget do this to remove the ‘DailyVerses.net’ link:
- Uncheck the checkbox before ‘Show link to DailyVerses.net (thank you!)’
- Click ‘Save’

<div>
I am using version 2.3 –
- As a test I installed it into my “plugin test” WP-Engine install as the only plugin installed.
- I put the widget into the sidebar and unchecked the “Show link to DailyVerses.net (thank you!)” box.
- When I visit the post the link is still active.
It would seem that deactivation is NOT WORKING…

Is the checkbox still unchecked when you open the settings of the widget again? Does changing the Title work in the widget?
As a workaround you could add the following to the css of the website, to hide the link:
.dailyVerses.linkToWebsite {
display: none;
}

What you have above doesn’t actually work but I found this does.
.dailyVerses.bibleVerse
{
pointer-events: none;
}
It removes the link but not the attribution. Also
.dailyVerses.bibleVerse
{
display: none;
}
wipes out the entire link, display and all.
Thanks for the help and God Bless!!
