Top 10 now showing only overall top posts and not daily ones

2001 should read 2011.

You could try to disable the maintenance cron and re-enable it.

Note that the cron only cleans the Daily tables it doesn’t clean the Overall ones as those counts are never touched.

Usually the widget with Custom Time period is a better option in this case instead of Overall

I use the manual insert, instead of the widget. Is there an option in the template tag for that?

You can use:

<?php if ( function_exists('tptn_show_daily_pop_posts') ) tptn_show_daily_pop_posts(); ?>

That is the template tag I have been using all along.

There was an issue with the server’s clock about the same time this issue arose a few weeks ago. The hosting company fixed it, but now I am wondering if maybe the crom jobs are not running properly or at all.

Will email Support and get back to you on that.

Thanks.

Thanks. Also worth just reseting the options and if that doesn’t work then deleting and readding the plugin via your admins screen (remember to backup your database first)

For some reason, Maintenance was turned off.

Re-enabled it and set it to run daily. Will see how that works.

That did not help.

I uninstalled and deleted the plugin and reinstalled it. I kept the tables intact, but did delete the plugin options while removing it.

Will see if the cron job runs at midnight and restores the daily post output.

Well, no luck with that, as well.

Seems like I might have to just wipe out all of the data and reinstall, which I would really prefer not to have to do.

Are you in a position to test this with another site?

Cleaning out the data and bringing it back isn’t too hard. You can just export the top_ten_daily and top_ten tables from your database to be safe and then delete everything and reinstall.

I’ve been rereading all your posts above, and I’m not sure I still fully grasp the issue. A point to check: is the backend working fine i.e. the viewing the top posts … Top 10 > View popular posts

Hi,

Yes, the backend listings on both Daily and Overall posts display fine.

The issue is that the template tag <?php if ( function_exists('tptn_show_daily_pop_posts') ) tptn_show_daily_pop_posts(); ?> is now showing only the Overall popular posts instead of the Daily ones. I am thinking that the daily cron job is not running properly. As mentioned before, there was an issue with the server’s clock around the same time this happened. Granted, right around the same time is also when I updated to the latest version. so, it is hard to pinpoint what the issue really is.

I did downgrade back to 2.2.3 to see if that would make a difference, but it has not.

I will export the Top 10 tables and reinstall and then restore the table data and let you know how it goes.

Still stuck.

I backed up the tables, uninstalled the plugin and imported the table data back into the database. It did give a duplicate key error. However, the overall data seemed to import OK.

Also, it then was giving only 2 views for every story in Daily Views. I then emptied the daily table and it seems to be counting Daily correctly now. However, the template tag is still showing only Overall most popular stories and not Daily on the sidebar.

At this point, I am totally stuck.

Well, I reverted back to version 2.2.2 and it displaying Daily Posts on the sidebar properly now.

Not sure what happened with version 2.2.3, but for now, will stick with 2.2.2.

Same for me.
I have this code in the sidebar

<?php if(function_exists('tptn_show_pop_posts')) tptn_show_pop_posts(); ?>
<?php if(function_exists('tptn_show_daily_pop_posts')) tptn_show_daily_pop_posts(); ?>

and after upgrading to 2.2.4 the sidebar is showing the overall popular posts twice and not showing the daily ones.

See for example the sidebar of https://www.boscarol.com/blog/?p=15272 .

Version 2.2.2 displays Daily Posts fine. I would suggest reverting to that. The later two versions both have this issue.
