Deze plugin **is niet getest met de laatste drie grote versies van WordPress**. 
Mogelijk wordt het niet meer onderhouden of ondersteund. Er kunnen ook compatibiliteitsproblemen
ontstaan wanneer het wordt gebruikt met recentere versies van WordPress.

I want to give five stars, this is a great widget for controlling which categories
show, but it hasn’t been update in a year and there hasn’t been much of any response
in support for a lot longer than that.. I am crossing my fingers, hoping the plugin
author might show some interest, check it out, bring it current…? This review can
change…
