I’m surprised this plugin still works but it does exactly what it says it does. I would absolutely give it a 5-star rating IF it had the ability to show every Author from any Role in one widget. As it is there’s no way I’d want to to have one Widget for Administrators, another for Authors, and yet another for contributors.
