 * Is there a way to align the thumbnail to the left with the text wrapping around
   instead of the content/excerpt displaying below the image? – Jim

 * +1 Same here. Great plugin, however each post takes up a lot of space in the 
   sidebar. Modifying the functions.php template to reduce the excerpts length helped,
   however it would be even better to wrap the text around/to right of the image.

 * Hi all,
 * I have just managed this by styling the particluar areas with CSS and its working
   well.
 * So for my particular needs I have the ultimate posts in a widget area in the 
   footer and I wanted the images to the left and then the excerpt to the right.
 * To achieve this I simply added the following code to my stylesheet:
 *     ```
       .widget-area header {position:relative; display:inline-block; vertical-align:middle;}
       .widget-area header + .entry-summary {position:relative; display:inline-block; vertical-align:middle; width:calc( 98% - 150px);}
       ```
   
 * This simply takes a header within a div with the class “widget-area” and ensures
   that its relatively positioned and display block and then takes the .entry-summary
   directly after this header and positions it relative and with a width that is
   pretty much the width of the containing div minus the size of the image. The 
   vertical align then makes them line up in the middle of each other.
 * Hope that helps!

 * Wondering the same. Can anyone please help with some simple steps?
    I’m displaying
   the posts in a page using the shortcode.

 * Hi Guys,
 * After some research I found the solution myself.
 * Go to the plugin CSS at:
    wp-content/plugins/ultimate-posts-widget/css/upw-theme-
   standard.min.css
 * edit the text:
    .upw-posts .entry-image img{max-width:100%;height:auto}
 * To be:
    .upw-posts .entry-image img{max-width:100%;height:auto;float:left;padding-
   right:1em}
 * Save the file, you are all done 🙂
