 * I see that the plugin was updated 2 months ago. I installed it but I can not 
   find the widget in the widgets area to test it. There may be a conflict with 
   another plugin, I’m not sure.
 * Great plugin concept, maybe you will get it working. If it is working for others
   then it is definitely a conflict that I have with another plugin.
 * Not an issue, but if it’s updated please respond so I can try it again.

 * The update will not be necessary for me. By using two lines of code in the functions.
   php file or creating a mu-plugin you can use this.
 *     ```
       // ADD SHORTCODE TO TEXT WIDGET
       add_filter('widget_text', 'do_shortcode');
       ```
   
 * This one line of code works like a charm. I made a mu-plugin just because it 
   is easier for me. I deal with many websites. I did however test it in the functions.
   php file as well. The advantage of using a mu-plugin is that it will work even
   if you change themes.
