 * This is not a plugin where you can use shortcodes in pages… this is a widget.
 * This should either be re-categorized or the author should rewrite the description
   to exclude the misleading term “plugin” which is used multiple times with this
   post.

 * Hi Eliyahna,
 * Please read the definition of plugin from Codex ([https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugins](https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugins)).
 * “Plugins are ways to extend and add to the functionality that already exists 
   in WordPress.”
 * So simply understand that “Posts From Category” is the plugin that use Widgets
   to extend functionality.
