Hi David,

Are you sorting your posts by comments? Your Time Range is set to last 24 hours and it seems your site doesn’t get that many comments per day. I’d suggest to order your list by views instead.

Hi Hector,

I have it set to sort by views.

Thanks for your help!

Just took another look at your site. It seems you’re having some issues with Javascript, jQuery doesn’t seem to be loading correctly and it seems to be causing conflicts with another script installed on your site.

Edit: I also see you have W3 Total Cache installed, so it could just be that what you’re seeing is the cached version of the WPP plugin, not the actual data. WPP does not support caching plugins properly yet.

If none of that helps, then please try the following:

# Open wordpress-popular-posts.php using a text editor such as Notepad or Adobe Dreamweaver
# Find:

<!-- WordPress Popular Posts v<?php echo $this->version; ?> -->
<script type="text/javascript">
    /* <![CDATA[ */
	jQuery.post('<?php echo admin_url('admin-ajax.php'); ?>', {action: 'wpp_update', token: '<?php echo $nonce; ?>', id: <?php echo $id; ?>}, function(data){/*alert(data);*/});
    /* ]]> */
</script>
<!-- End WordPress Popular Posts v<?php echo $this->version; ?> -->

# Change it to:

<!-- WordPress Popular Posts v<?php echo $this->version; ?> -->
<script type="text/javascript">
    /* <![CDATA[ */
	jQuery.post('<?php echo admin_url('admin-ajax.php'); ?>', {action: 'wpp_update', token: '<?php echo $nonce; ?>', id: <?php echo $id; ?>}, function(data){ console.log(data); });
    /* ]]> */
</script>
<!-- End WordPress Popular Posts v<?php echo $this->version; ?> -->

Please let me know when you’re done so I can go check again. This modification won’t display anything visible on your site, it’s just for testing purposes.

Hi Hector,

Thanks again for your help in troubleshooting this.

Previously I did turn off W3 Total Cache, but it didn’t appear to change the display. Are you saying that in general the plugin will not work with W3 Total Cache?

I have made the above change in wordpress-popular-posts.php.

Best, David

Yup, it shouldn’t work with W3TC nor any other caching plugin at all (however, WPP seems to works with WP Super Cache). I’ve already fixed that on the development version of the WPP plugin and so far it appears to work fine. This version, however, still needs some polishing so if you decide to try it out let me know if you encounter any issues with it (I’m sure you won’t, though).

Thanks for providing this development version. I’ve uploaded this to my site, emptied the W3TC caches for good measure, but I’m still seeing the same No data error.

Is there anything else I could try?

Hi Hector,

Not sure if this is helpful information, but I checked my wp database and it appears that the plugin did create tables (wp_popularpostsdata, wp_popularpostsdatacache). However, it doesn’t appear that data is written to the tables.

Thanks, David

One last piece of information is that I’m trying this plugin on a multisite installation. Are there any additional installation steps for this?

Ah, Multisite. That could be it.

Can WordPress Popular Posts run on WordPress Multisite?
While it’s not officially supported, other users have reported that my plugin runs fine on WordPress Multisite. According to what they have said, you need to install this plugin using the Network Activation feature.

Did you enable the plugin using the Network Activation option?

Yes, it has been enabled via Network Activation.

For some reason, the jQuery script isn’t loading on your single.php template. Something is preventing WPP from inserting it into your theme’s head section – hence WPP can’t update the views information. Without checking your theme’s code I’m afraid I can’t do much more.
