How to include author name in the [wpp] shortcode

    We got the notice that the WPP widget is being deprecated and to switch over to the shortcode. However, when using the shortcode, it not longer displays the author name under the post name. We use the WPP shortcode under the ‘Most Read’ section on the homepage.

    Hi @myntillae,

    Well, that depends. Please show me your shortcode and if there’s anything missing I’ll let you know.

    I just have this in place:

    [wpp limit=10]

    Ah, that’s it then.

    By default, and unless you explicitly enable it (just like the classic WordPress Popular Posts widget), the shortcode won’t display the author link (see Parameters > stats_author).

    Try this instead:

    [wpp limit=10 stats_views=0 stats_author=1]

    Thank you! That worked perfect. I just couldn’t find any documentation for what the shortcode options were, so I appreciate your help! Thanks again.
