 * Hi there, great plugin. I like the options page in the backend.
 * The shortcode works in the post content, but not in a widget. I tried the default
   text widget as well as Otto’s [PHP code widget](https://wordpress.org/plugins/php-code-widget/)
   with all other plugins disabled on twenty fifteen, fourteen and twelve.
