Hi @jenniferep,
I will consider adding an option to enable HTML in the widget in the next version of WordPoints. Thank you for the feedback.
One more thing, I noticed in top user widget, photos of users shrink. I know Google Chrome does something with images, but they show up fine using shortcode in pages, is there a solution for this?
Also I wanted to say Thanks, everyone this plugin is great, cleaner and updated version of the abandoned cubepoints plugin. This one has so much potential and can already do almost everything cubepoint does but in much better way.
I an unable to reproduce the bug with the shrinking images in the widget. What version of Chrome are you using? And what theme is active on your site? It is also possible that other plugins you have installed could be causing it.
Also, a note about your original request. I think you can already do what you want using the Text widget that WordPress provides, and using the WordPoints shortcodes, if you install this plugin that lets you use shortcodes in the Text widgets: https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/shortcodes-in-sidebar-widgets/
@jenniferep — I’ve just released version 1.5.0, which makes this possible. You need to add the following code in a custom plugin or your child theme:
remove_filter( 'wordpoints_points_widget_text', 'esc_html', 20 );
