Users appreciate this WordPress plugin for its ability to display recent posts with shortcode functionality, which they find versatile for various page elements such as posts and blocks. They commend its ease of use, simplicity, and customizability, including options to customize CSS and display settings. Some standout features include custom post type support, thumbnail sizing, and the ability to control multiple widgets independently.
However, users also highlight several drawbacks. Some report issues with shortcodes and category filtering not working as advertised, and improper HTML markup causing compatibility issues. Others mention problems with displaying thumbnails and dates incorrectly, lack of responsiveness on mobile devices, and occasional conflicts causing site errors.
