						<div><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php the_post_thumbnail(array()); ?></a></div>
						<h4>

<?php
$current_post_categories = get_the_category(); // store category objects for current post in an array

   echo '<a href="'.get_option('home').'/category/'.$category->cat_name.'">'.$category->cat_name.'</a>';

    Hi Erick,

    Please check both FAQ and Installation sections, there you’ll find info on alternatives to the widget version of the plugin.

    Hi Héctor!

    Yes I have looked at them. But they do not show how to make it in a loop with this elements:

    <?php the_post_thumbnail(array()); ?>
<?php the_title(); ?>
and more

    so I can make the listing in the way I like. I can’t find an example of this anywhere.

    Thanks!

    I’m sorry, I don’t understand. Can you elaborate more, please? What exactly do you want to do?

    Sorry about my english ?? Will try to make it more clear.

    To list post in wordpress, wordpress has an php loop. I like to do this with this plugin. So I can build the contant exacly as I like. It will make so I got more control over the content.

    I see. Well, there’s an option for that too ?? You can customize the HTML structure by using the wpp_start, wpp_end, post_start and post_end parameters with the wpp_get_mostpopular() template tag. You can find more info about these (and other parameters) on your wp-admin > Settings > WordPress Popular Posts > FAQ page.

    Great! Thanks!

    Just one more question. I am just a PHP beginner, can you show how this loop look like. Sorry for this, but it would help me super much!

    No problem, here’s an example:

    <?php

if ( function_exists('wpp_get_mostpopular') ) {
  wpp_get_mostpopular( 'wpp_start=<ol>&wpp_end=</ol>&post_start=<li>&post_end=</li>&do_pattern=1&pattern_form="{thumb} {title} - {stats}"' );
}

?>

    Thanks!

    We are almost there ??

    where it says "{thumb} {title} - {stats}"

    is it possible to make it more changeable?

    I am making an RSS feed with the most popular post in a week. And I like to be able to have other tags then the ones find in {title} and so on. So it would be great to beable to use standard wordpress calles for title, tumbnail, content and so on. like this:

    <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php the_post_thumbnail(array()); ?></a>
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
<?php echo excerpt(15); ?>
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>">read more</a>

    I am crossing my fingers that this is possible. It would be great it mean I can make the RSS feed and a widget style just the why I like it to look and work.

    Erik

    At the moment, no. However, I’m planning to modify the custom HTML feature for more flexibility – it might be included in the next release or the one after.

    oh no.. Ok it would be a great addition to the plugin.
    Really hopping for this update as soon as possible.
