    Thanks Sudar

    What I mean is after installing and acivating, I add the widget to a sidebar but nothing shows up.

    I add one of the suggested shortlinks to a posts and nothing is visible. I can tell from this something is happening because if I deactivate the plugin, then the shortcode obviously shows on the page as text. But with the plugin activated there is just nothing.

    Can you post a link to your website and also the shortcode that you used?

    I think I know my issue.

    It works on posts but not pages with tags

    I am using the plugin Post Tags and Categories for Pages to allow tags on pages, and I believe this won’t work with your plugin.

    Although having said that the shortcode is working for posts but the widget is not showing in RH sidebar ???

    Okay, I know the issue now.

    My plugin only supports built-in post_tag(Tag) taxonomy and not custom taxonomies.

    The plugin that you are referring above uses custom taxonomies. That’s the reason why it is not displaying anything.

    As I suspected.

    However if I deactivate Post Tags and Categories for Pages I still see no widget in the sidebar, just the shortcodes on the posts

    There is a condition in the widget that checks whether there are any posts. If there are no posts then the widget doesn’t display anything.

    This condition is there to prevent empty widgets from showing up in the frontend.

    But in this case there are posts with tags (see the test post menu link in that test site above)

    I just checked your link https://thomasmusic.co.uk/new-post and found that the widget is infact showing up properly.
