All the links point to the same post

Hi there!

That’s odd. I copied & pasted your code over here and for me the output is correct.

Could you please share your site’s URL so I can go take a look?

May I send it to you through a more private channel? It is rather big customer. My twitter is @enriquemoreno. I will give you other contact data if you need it.

No problem. Just followed you on Twitter, see you there!

Alright, just saw the site. I’m guessing you’re using WPP’s filter hooks to customize the HTML? If so, please share your code here so I can look into it.

This is the function for building the custom HTML in functions.php:

function my_custom_popular_posts_html_list( $mostpopular, $instance ){

	?>
	<div class="popular-pages">
	<?php

	// loop the array of popular posts objects
	foreach( $mostpopular as $popular ) {

		$author  = get_the_author_meta('display_name', $popular->uid);
		$date    = date_i18n($instance['stats_tag']['date']['format'], strtotime($popular->date));
		$excerpt = get_excerpt_by_id( $popular->id );
		?>
			<div class="popular-page">
				<h2 class="title">
					<a href="<?php the_permalink( $popular->id ) ?>">
						<?php echo $popular->title; ?>
					</a>
				</h2>

				<div><?php echo $date; ?> | <?php echo $author; ?></div>

				<?php echo $excerpt; ?>

				<a class="more-link" href="<?php the_permalink( $popular->id ) ?>">
					> Mehr erfahren
				</a>
			</div>
		<?php
	}

	?>
	</div>
	<?php
}

The problem is the_permalink(). This template tag can only be used within the loop, and it takes no arguments. Use get_permalink() instead.

Thanks! I did not know that!
