    Hi, I can’t get the wpp_post filter to work (as shown here: https://github.com/cabrerahector/wordpress-popular-posts/wiki/3.-Filters)

    I’m using the wpp_get_mostpopular template tag like this in my functions.php for the homepage:

    echo wpp_get_mostpopular('limit=1');

    Here’s my code…

    function my_custom_single_popular_post( $content, $p, $instance ){
    $output = '<article class="post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry">{thumb}
				<header>
					<h2 class="title entry-title"><a href="'.get_the_permalink($p->id).'" rel="bookmark" title="' . esc_attr($p->title) . '">' . esc_attr($p->title) . '</a></h2>
				</header>
				<div class="post-meta"><span class="author vcard"><span class="fn">author goes here</span></span> <span class="small">-</span> <abbr class="date time published updated" title="' . date( 'Y-m-d', strtotime($p->date) ) . '">' . date( 'Y-m-d', strtotime($p->date) ) . '</abbr> </div>
				<section class="entry">
					<p>excerpt goes here</p>
				</section><!-- /.entry -->
				<div class="fix"></div>
			</article>';
}
add_filter( 'wpp_post', 'my_custom_single_popular_post', 10, 3 );

    If I remove the custom wpp_post filter in my functions.php file, it brings in the most popular post fine in list format. I’m trying to customize the format of each post.

    Hi there,

    You never mentioned what went wrong in your comment ??

    What happens when the filter is enabled?

    When the filter is enabled, nothing shows up. If I disable it, I get the default list.

    Just took a second look into your code and found the problem: you need to return the $output variable:

    function my_custom_single_popular_post( $content, $p, $instance ){
    $output = '<article class="post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry">{thumb}
				<header>
					<h2 class="title entry-title"><a href="'.get_the_permalink($p->id).'" rel="bookmark" title="' . esc_attr($p->title) . '">' . esc_attr($p->title) . '</a></h2>
				</header>
				<div class="post-meta"><span class="author vcard"><span class="fn">author goes here</span></span> <span class="small">-</span> <abbr class="date time published updated" title="' . date( 'Y-m-d', strtotime($p->date) ) . '">' . date( 'Y-m-d', strtotime($p->date) ) . '</abbr> </div>
				<section class="entry">
					<p>excerpt goes here</p>
				</section><!-- /.entry -->
				<div class="fix"></div>
			</article>';

    return $output;
}
add_filter( 'wpp_post', 'my_custom_single_popular_post', 10, 3 );
