    Is there a way to display the Custom Post Type in the actual output?

    Here’s my code but it doesn’t work:

    <?php
                        $most_popular_args = array(
                            'post_type' => 'tl-article, video, press-release, press-mention, white-papers, analyst-report, fact-sheet, case-study, customer-quotes, infographics, partnerships, on_demand_webcasts, quarterly_release, integrations, podcasts',
                            'limit' => 3,
                            'range' => 'last30days',
                            'stats_views' => 0,
                            'stats_taxonomy' => 1,
                            'post_html' => '<li><h3 class="mt-0"><a href="{url}">{text_title}</a><br>{post_type}</li></h3>'
                        );

                        wpp_get_mostpopular( $most_popular_args );
                        ?>

    Hi @robertallen,

    The built-in Content Tags don’t include {post_type} -as you’re probably already aware of- but it’s fairly easy to add a new custom Content Tag for this:

    /**
 * Parses custom content tags in WordPress Popular Posts.
 *
 * @param  string  $html    The HTML markup from the plugin.
 * @param  integer $post_id The post/page ID.
 * @return string
 */
function wpp_parse_tags_in_popular_posts( $html, $post_id ){

    // Replace custom content tag {post_type} with the actual post type
    if ( false !== strpos($html, '{post_type}') ) {
        // Get post type
        $post_type = get_post_type( $post_id );

        if ( $post_type ) {
            $html = str_replace( '{post_type}', $post_type, $html );
        }
    }

    return $html;

}
add_filter( "wpp_parse_custom_content_tags", "wpp_parse_tags_in_popular_posts", 10, 2 );

    Awesome, thank you. I just need to figure out how to echo the name of the post type instead of the post type slug itself. Appreciate it.

    Ah, my bad. Glad to know you were able to figure it out, and thanks for sharing the solution! I’m sure future readers will appreciate that as well.
