Clashes with very popular plugin

This plugin is great — I love the control it offers.

However, sadly, it suffers the same problem as I just posted about here:

I was trying to use this as a replacement for Advanced Recent Posts and certainly will in the future where it does not go head-to-head with another site feature. Unfortunately, I can’t use it for now.
