 * Absolutely amazing plugin, I wish I had found this sooner.
 * Question: Is there a way to make it show private posts? I use this on a page 
   that only logged in users can see, so there is no concern about hiding private
   posts from them.

 * Hello [@deraxia](https://wordpress.org/support/users/deraxia/).
    Thank you for
   reaching out.
 * The plugin only considers posts with the post status `published`. I will improve
   this setting in one of the upcoming versions.
    For now you can modify the query
   arguments by yourself by using the filter `rpwwt_widget_posts_args`.
 * Add this code to your child themes funtions.php
 *     ```
       add_filter('rpwwt_widget_posts_args', function ( $query_args ) {
           $query_args[ 'post_status' ] = array( 'publish', 'private');
           return $query_args;
       });
       ```
   
 * Please let me know if this helps.
