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. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/c978f165edf85f3198006f35709b54644badfc44cd6fc50c9e33a1c641a4ea91? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Simple and effective](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/simple-and-effective-507/)󠁿 [info.brandaware](https://profiles.wordpress.org/infobrandaware/) September 3, 2016 I like this plugin for its simplicity.
