### 󠀁[Still great! And also author displaying](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/still-great-and-also-author-displaying/)󠁿

 [Damiaan van Vliet](https://profiles.wordpress.org/damnsharp/) 3 setembre 2016

I use this plug-in already a few years and it is great in customising. For example
it has easy Widget Output Template ability on the widget itself. So you can add 
for example the author’s name to be displayed using the {AUTHOR} code! And with 
WP version 4.4.2 still working 🙂
