 * hi , thank you for your plugin
    i wonder how i can add multiple attributes when
   i use the shortcode.
 * i tried :
    `[widget name="Featured Listings | sabai" instance="show_time=true"
   instance="num=2"]`
 * and
 * `[widget name="Featured Listings | sabai" instance="show_time=true;num=2"]`
 * and it didn’t work for me,
 * also i want to know how to get the classname and why i should use it ?!

 * Hi,
 * instance is an querystyle string. e.g.
    [widget name=”Text” instance=”title=Hello,
   World!&text=This is the text”]
 * You must look at the source code of the plugin / theme to get the class name.
   Access via classname comes from here [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/reference-a-widget-by-its-class-name?replies=3](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/reference-a-widget-by-its-class-name?replies=3)
   and it is only another method to referenz the widget.
