[Plugin: WordPress Popular Posts] Shortcode not working

Hi jorisdieben,

There’s one slight mistake on your code:

do_shortcode('[wpp range=today limit=7 pages=0 stats_views=0 stats_comments=0 order_by=views wpp_start=<ul> wpp_end=</ul>]');

… should be:

do_shortcode('[wpp range=daily limit=7 pages=0 stats_views=0 stats_comments=0 order_by=views wpp_start=<ul> wpp_end=</ul>]');

There’s no ‘today’ value for the range attribute. It should be either daily, weekly, monthly or all.

Of course thanks. But do you have any idea why only the ‘echo do_shortcode’ function is working and not the ‘get_mostpopular’ function? Maybe this explains why the sorting function on the category pages is not working (https://bit.ly/95PI2y) too? I am using the newest updates of everything btw.

Ps. If anyone need a script to merge the ‘WP Lesterchan Views’ with the ‘wordpress popular plugin’. I would be happy to share it..

Actually, what the get_mostpopular function does is call the shortcode function:

function wpp_get_mostpopular($args = NULL) {

	if (is_null($args)) {
		echo do_shortcode('[wpp]');
	} else {
		$atts = trim(str_replace("&", " ", $args));
		echo do_shortcode('[wpp '.$atts.']');
	}
}

Anyways, I feel like I’m not following here. Can you please elaborate more on your problem?

P.S.: just updated my plugin to version 2.1.1, right now you’re using 2.1.0 ??

Oke, well somehow the get_mostpopular function doesn’t display the correct posts, but when I use the shortcode directly it does display the correct posts.

I thought maybe this small bug could explain why the additional plugin I wrote, is not working.

Have you tried using wpp_get_mostpopular instead?

Yes I did. I will have someone have an extra look into it and inform you if I know more. Thanks so far.

jorisdieben, I would love to merge the views from the WP-PostViews plugin that I am using but I am not a programmer. Is there an easy way to do this that you can share with me? Otherwise the views are not accurate at all. Thanks!

jorisdieben, I would love to get the script to merge the ‘WP Lesterchan Views’ with the ‘wordpress popular plugin’ because I am moving my post views counter to wpp now and phasing out WP-PostViews.

How can you contact me to share?

Sorry guys forgot to subscribe to the folluwup’s. If you are still interested in the merge script please contact me here: https://www.itelevision.nl/contact/

Btw of course it will be free of charge!
