Popular posts by categories

Hi @regme!

Yes. The widget includes a field called “Category(ies) ID(s)” that you can use to specify the ID of the category.

Hi, Hector!
I mean if looking post then show popular post for current category.

Have found your post on related theme. Have added my own html markup and set exclusion for current post form wpp list. Exlusion not working and my own markup isn’t showing. Also, disallowed WPP styles, but they are declaring in html code.

Can you check if is it ok:

<?php
global $post;
$categories = get_the_category($post->ID);
$id = get_the_ID();//current post id

foreach($categories as $category) {
    $myCats .= $category->cat_ID . ', ';
}
// remove trailing comma
$myCats = rtrim($myCats, ', ');
if (function_exists('wpp_get_mostpopular'))
    wpp_get_mostpopular( 'range="all"&limit=3&thumbnail_width=214&thumbnail_height=160&stats_views=0&excerpt_length=155&pid='.$id.'&cat="'.$myCats.'"&post_type=post&post_html="<li><div class=\"img\">{thumb}</div><div class=\"title\">{title}</div><div class=\"text\">{summary}</div></li>"' );
?>

Also, is thereway to enable worpdress thumbnail size supporting (thumbnail,medium,large).
Sorry for posting all in one theme.

Hi there!

Yep, that code should do what you want. Since I’m at it, here’s a revised version:

<?php
if ( function_exists('wpp_get_mostpopular') && is_single() ) {

    global $post;
    $myCats = '';
    $categories = get_the_category( $post->ID );

    if ( !empty($categories) ) {

        foreach( $categories as $category ) {
            $myCats .= $category->cat_ID . ', ';
        }

        // remove trailing comma
        $myCats = rtrim($myCats, ', ');

    }

    $args = array(
        "range" => "all",
        "limit" => 3,
        "thumbnail_width" => 214,
        "thumbnail_height" => 160,
        "stats_views" => 0,
        "excerpt_length" => 155,
        "pid" => $post->ID,
        "cat" => $myCats,
        "post_type" => "post",
        "post_html" => '<li><div class="img">{thumb}</div><div class="title">{title}</div><div class="title">{summary}</div></li>'
    );
    wpp_get_mostpopular( $args );

}
?>

Also, disallowed WPP styles, but they are declaring in html code.

Just to be sure: did you hit the Apply button after setting “Use plugin’s stylesheet” to disabled?

Also, is thereway to enable worpdress thumbnail size supporting (thumbnail,medium,large).

Yes, but that feature is only available for the WPP widget.
