I noticed a bug with icons. Contacted the author and, after a few hours, I got a new version with the problem solved.
So, great support!

is there a way–in a future update–we might be able to:
1. Show Descending for HW Listings widget
2. Show Listings by Listing ID in the HW Listings widget?
Hi jasongeek,
As per your requirements below our response:
1) Show Descending for HW Listings widget >> For normal listing we display the attributes and features as per design of site. There is no description add in future plan or next update.
2)Show Listings by Listing ID in the HW Listings widget? >> There is not any direct feature to display the listing by ID but you can create your TAG and add your listings in that tag then add your created TAB in the settings: “Filter by Tag Settings”
Thanks
Loving the plugin, Vipul!
Just wanted to see if you could add the “filter by tag” option within the “HW Blog Posts” widget as well. It’s not there, only available with the “HW Listing” widget. I need the tag filter option with the blog widget as well. Could you add that feature with the next update?
Cheers!
