Hi @@hcabrera,
Thank you for your support.

I face a similar issue. Both the widget and shortcode generated contents are garbled with messy codes, showing CSS and some sort. My contents are in Chinese, by the way.

I edited output.php as per your instruction, but in vain.

The site in question is https://zhouruopeng.com

But I have disabled the plugin for the time being, because it displays messed up codes instead of Chinese and ruins the layout

I also have this problem, too in romanian language for special characters like ?, ?, ? etc. Your file above did not work.

My site is paginadepsihologie.ro

Your other plugin Recently (whicj i use) has the same problem.

Hello. A similar problem in Russian. The table of contents is displayed “DŸDžDŸD￡D›DˉD DDžD•”. There is no text for popular entries. Replacing doesn’t help.
Came back to version 5.3.3
