I’m on WordPress 4.8. I followed the (rather sketchy..) installation instructions – then tried the shortcode on a) A Page, b) a Widget (text widget) – and c) Using all of the advised ways in which you can publish the short code. ZERO results, regardless of how I did it. “Division by Zero” PHP on-screen errors most of the time. I guess it’s possible I missed something.. but I don’t think so. Avoid..
