 * How can I delete widget shortcodes? When I tried to change and save with the 
   same name, was created aditional one and did not overwrite the old one.

 * As nobody is replaying I believe there is no such option – delete Handsome Testimonial
   widget, just create. And with the same name as many as you wish. Very very sad.

 * Hi Vitalijik,
 * The widget instance feature was just recently implemented due to a number of 
   requests. We plan to have an update soon with the ability to remove undesired
   instances. For now, the best workaround is to make sure to use unique names for
   each instance you create. You can simply click the drop down and check first 
   if a name exists and then add a “1”, “2”, “3”, etc. after so that names don’t
   get duplicated. We have the Delete instance feature built, but we’re just testing
   and tweaking a few things this week so that when we release it, we can be sure
   it works as expected.
 * Thanks for your feedback and for your patience!
