User sentiment analysis

Users appreciate this WordPress plugin for its excellent functionality, flexibility, and support. They love its clean, simple interface and customizable CSS options. The plugin allows showcasing recent posts with excerpts or images, customizable sorting options, and the ability to include or exclude categories and tags. It is user-friendly, easy to set up, and highly customizable, fulfilling various needs efficiently. However, users noted a few drawbacks: resizing images doesn’t work as expected, some control over font size would be appreciated, and support can be lacking. Additionally, tags in draft posts aren't displayed in the tag filter widget until the post is published.
