 * Hi,
    First I have to tell you that you’ve done an awsome job with this plugin.
   It’s simple, it’s flexible, and it works.
 * I have one issue, and it’s kind of weird. I added my own custom HTML via the 
   Advanced Options and I’m using a shortcode from the Social Count Plus Plugin 
   inside. For some strange reason, the shortcode only works inside of the content
   area of the page (using SiteOrigin’s Pagebuilder plugin – which uses widgets),
   but not in the sidebar widget.
 * I am able to use the Social Count Plus shortcodes in the sidebar in an enhanced
   text widget on it’s own.
 * Do you have any ideas on how I can get this working on my sidebar? It works great
   on a page.
