 * First, great plugin!
 * Second, I’d like to output the name of the author of the post in the widget area.
   I tried [frp_author] but I see that isn’t supported. Any plans to have the functionality
   included?
 * Do you host this on GitHub? I could work with you on this and submit a pull request.
 * Thanks,
    Rian

 * I have answered you here [http://frp.idea.informer.com/proj/?ia=51313](http://frp.idea.informer.com/proj/?ia=51313).
   
   Shortly – yes, I will add this shortcode on this week. Of course I can add this
   shortcode just now, but I want to add some more functionality for version 1.0.
 * No, I don’t host plugin on GitHub. You can add feature request as you have already
   done and I will extend plugin functionality.

 * Hello,
 * I found one bug in flexible recent posts.
    When i choose only one category and
   X number of posts, plugin shows all posts not only X number of posts Can you 
   please fix it?
 * Thanks

 * **ant385**, I have just created 2 categories and added 3 posts to one of them
   and 2 posts to another on my test platform. Then I added new widget, chose the
   first category with 3 posts and setted number of posts to 2. And all worked perfactly.
   Maybe you missed something?
