 * Hi Rafal,
 * as per your request, I’ll post my question here as well.
 * I think it would be nice if we could specify a message when there are no posts
   that match the criteria (or any posts at all).
    Now the widget returns nothing,
   and when it’s the only widget on the page, it’s kinda weird 🙂
 * Thank you on beforehand!

 * Hey mate,
 * Thanks for checking this out.
 *  Hmm… I am not sure what could be the issue here. Hmm, the widget may be resetting
   due to addition of new Widget fields.
 * Are you getting any errors? Have you tried enabling the debug mode? Can you let
   me know how could I recreate that or perhaps share couple of screenshots with
   me in your spare time?
 * Thanks,
    Rafal

 * I made a stupid mistake myself, feel free to edit or delete your previous comment.
   The plugin works like a charm 🙂

 * Sure! I did just notice though, that when my admin section is in French, the 
   text doesn’t get translated yet. I get:
 * (setting before)
    HTML ou texte après la boucle entière: Vous pouvez utiliser
   du HTML ici, il s’affichera avant la fermeture du conteneur du widget.
 * (no post setting)
    HTML or text for no posts found matching the query criteria:
   You can use any HTML here, the markup appears for no posts found.
