### 󠀁[Works with WP 4.8.1](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-with-wp-4-8-1-2/)󠁿

Works fine in the WP Text Widget to allow PHP code execution, like specifying relative
paths in your WP website, e.g. “<?php bloginfo(‘wpurl’); ?>/wp-content/utility/goodreads.
png”

Really should be no reason why it would not. Useful for custom code as well! Customization
just keeps getting easier!
