 * I am using Version 0.9.9.1of this widget
 * 1. None of the options inside “Available Widgets” seem to do anything for me.
   
   For example “Limit To Tag”, “Number of posts to show” “Custom CSS”. None of these
   work, the only way I can get some of these options to work is to write them in
   the shortcode.
 * 2. The custom CSS doesn’t work at all.
    But it doesn’t matter whether I turn “
   use default CSS” to ON or OFF, the CSS i write in the box doesn’t apply.
 * For example if I enter this:
    ` .rpwe-block h3{ background: none !important; 
   clear: none; margin-bottom: 0 !important; margin-top: 0 !important; }`
 * Note: I have removed the line `font-size:12px`
 * However when I look at the site and do “inspect element” I can see this:
 *     ```
       .rpwe-block h3 {
         background: none!important;
         clear: none;
         margin-bottom: 0!important;
         margin-top: 0!important;
         font-weight: 400;
         font-size: 12px!important;
         line-height: 1.5em;
       }
       ```
   
 * Where is it getting this CSS from?
 * Why can’t it use my custom CSS?
 * If i add the text in the shortcode `styles_default="false"` it just does it with
   no CSS, it never uses the CSS I have entered.
