Reviews

WP most viewed posts slider ??

Will Bill November 10, 2024

WP most viewed posts slider / Popular Post Slider Thank you so much, this is exactly what I was looking for. Works great with Neve theme i have it running on home page. It’s so easy to use with Short Codes provided on the getting started page. I can’t believe others have not found it yet. I checked 5 others before this with no luck. Thanx again for this free plugin.

Doesn’t work with classic editor

rudybrinkman June 4, 2023 1 reply

Plugin doesn’t work when you use the classic editor. Probably only when you use the Gutenberg block editor (and I never use that on my websites)

Very flexible, and fantastic support

rolfjeger September 5, 2022

Great slider, you have a big choice of Designs. And you can easily alter everything with CSS, if you need to finetune it.

Only Does Half of What it Should

migster September 2, 2022

As another review says, this is not a trending post plugin. It’s great at showing popular posts, but the ability to only show posts that were published within the specified timeframe is of limited use. If the timeframe is set to, for example, the last 7 days, and no posts are published in that time, no posts will show in the grid/slider. It’s a pity, as the way the plugin deals with layouts is way ahead of other plugins, but it doesn’t do the one crucial thing it needs to, and that’s to display trending posts in a way I’d expect. 3 stars for lookng great, but that’s it, sadly.

Great plugin

suchira December 24, 2020

This is the one that I was looking for.

Popular Posts, NOT a Trending Posts Plugin

deeveearr February 19, 2023

<!– wp:paragraph {“align”:null} –> <p>I’ve given this plugin 3 stars, purely for the layout of the gridbox and/or carousel, which are truly magnificent. </p> <!– /wp:paragraph –> <!– wp:paragraph {“align”:”justify”} –> <p class=”has-text-align-justify”>This plugin will never stand up to the WPPopular Post or Top10 plugins though, as it simply does not show trending posts, which is rather misleading for someone looking at the plugin title. </p> <!– /wp:paragraph –> <!– wp:paragraph {“align”:”justify”} –> <p class=”has-text-align-justify”>In theory though, it SHOULD work – it has settings for ‘Last Day’, ‘Last Week’, ‘Last Month’, and ‘All Time’. </p> <!– /wp:paragraph –> <!– wp:paragraph {“align”:null} –> <p>That’s the theory though – in practice, this plugin only takes posts/pages that were PUBLISHED within the above parameters, making the trending part utterly pointless, unless you wanted to use the ALL TIME setting, which for a website that’s been going for years, offers no value at all in keeping the plugin active. </p> <!– /wp:paragraph –> <!– wp:paragraph {“align”:null} –> <p>It’s quite obvious what needds to be done with this plugin, and that’s to add a new ‘range’ parameter in the shortcodes, so that ALL TIME could be used in the main settings, and then the ‘range’ parameter applied for the last day, last week, or last month, so that the plugin could indeed be termed as a trending one, which is what the above two plugins do. </p> <!– /wp:paragraph –> <!– wp:paragraph {“align”:null} –> <p>For a popular posts plugin, with an unbeatable layout, choose this one. </p> <!– /wp:paragraph –> <!– wp:paragraph {“align”:null} –> <p>For a trending posts plugin, look elsewhere. </p> <!– /wp:paragraph –> <!– wp:paragraph {“align”:null} –> <p>**Bit of a latent edit** </p> <!– /wp:paragraph –> <!– wp:paragraph {“align”:null} –> <p>I’ve been using WordPress Popular Posts now for around a year and fixed all of the posts into a grid system. </p> <!– /wp:paragraph –> <!– wp:paragraph {“align”:null} –> <p>WPPP uses an ‘All Time’ setting, like in this plugin, but shows the most popular posts within the LAST HALF HOUR! </p> <!– /wp:paragraph –> <!– wp:paragraph {“align”:”justify”} –> <p class=”has-text-align-justify”>Now THAT’S what I call a trending posts plugin!</p> <!– /wp:paragraph –>
