Top Downloads Shortcode/Widget not working as expected

    Hello,
    I’m attempting to list the top 10 downloads from my site on the frontend with clickable links. Using this shortcode creates a list, but they’re not links:
    [slimstat f='top' w='resource']content_type equals download&&&limit_results equals 10[/slimstat]

    If I use the Widget to set Top Downloads, it’s the same issue. Also, why does the widget have the class “hidden” added? It took me awhile to figure out why nothing was appearing when trying to use widgets.

    I tried looking at using the database API methods, but wasn’t able to figure out how to translate the Top Downloads request.

    Thank you! Love the plugin and am hoping to bring some of the great backend charts into the frontend.

    Hi, you could try using post_link instead of resource, to have the shortcode generate the links for you ??

    Not sure about the hidden, it must be coming from another plugin, as you can see from our source code.

    Best,

    Thank you for the reply, unfortunately using post_link still returns the same unlinked list:
    [slimstat f='top' w='post_link']content_type equals download&&&limit_results equals 10[/slimstat]
