Great job!!!!!

You save me a lot of work, thank you!

Useful for organizing categories to widgets

geokongr 23 February 2017
Very useful. In a future update i suggest to give the ability to translate the words Post/Posts. I did that by just editing the 372 line of the fileclass-advanced-categories-widget-views.php with the following code with the following: __('$type_text', 'advanced-categories-widget')

Neat and highly customisable

Ian Erlwanger 10 February 2017
Very simple and easy to use. You need a little coding experience to get the most out of it, but with just cursory knowledge of CSS you can completely customise every aspect of the category display.

Nice way to present posts

The look is clean and simple and the only plugin I found where I can easily select the categories to display. I used it in two separate widgets in one sidebar and it looks great

Great!
