Hi Jaracely,

Yes, it is possible to do so. However, this is a css styling problem that’s not related to my plugin but to the way your blog’s theme has been coded.

You can use the stylesheet included in my plugin to style your popular posts listing (wordpress-popular-posts/style/wpp.css).

Hi there,

Try deactivating all your plugins and reactivate WordPress Popular Posts to be sure that it is my plugin and not something else what’s causing the problem. I’m running WordPress 2.8 on one of my blogs and it seems to be running just fine.

Hi there,

I’ll be checking this plugin and if possible I’ll integrate it with WordPress Popular Posts. It won’t be any time soon, though, because I’ve been quite busy with other projects I’ve been working on lately.

Thanks for your suggestion!

Hi jeantil,

Problem is that not everyone installs WordPress in the root of the domain name (eg. https://www.somesite.com/blog), therefore using “/wp-content/images/your_picture.jpg” can be problematic. That is why I decided to use “full” paths instead.

Anyways, I’ll test your hack and include it in the next release if it works on blogs installed on subfolders.

Thank you for letting me know about this!

You mean like this? (see below post title)

If so, then I’m sorry but my plugin doesn’t provide that feature. The purpose of WordPress Popular Posts is to display a list of entries of your blog that are getting a lot of attention from your visitors. This feature you need would require checking all your posts (both popular and not-so-popular) and that goes against my plugin’s main objective: rank popular posts.

Hi Lanz. Yes, that feature is available in my plugin.

Alright, I think I can do that. I’ve been reading about this functionality and it doesn’t sound too complicated so this feature might be available on WordPress Popular Posts v1.4.7.

Thanks for the tip, Andrew!

That’d require a more complex sql query, onedeep. I’ll try a few different ideas and get back to you once I get a solution that won’t require an extensive use of the database.

Hi jimjamming,

1. You’d need to hack my plugin to do that, but yes it is possible. For pages that WPP has not registered yet:

# Find the function update_mostpopular (line 284 on wordpress-popular-posts.php)

# Below “$postid = $wp_query->post->ID; // get post ID” (line 289), add this code:

$exclude = array(1,2,3); // the id’s of the posts you wish to exclude (separated by comma)
if (in_array($postid, $exclude)) return $content;

For pages that WPP has already registered, but that you want to exclude from the listing:

# Find “$mostpopular = $wpdb->get_results” (line 162)

# Right after $nopages, add ” AND $wpdb->posts.ID NOT IN(1,2,3) ” (without quotes).

2. No, you won’t lose any data so don’t worry.

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for your suggestion! Not sure if I got it correctly, though ?? What you want is like to add a shortcut (eg. [popular-posts]) in your theme, and then my plugin should look for it and replace it with the actual php codes that handles everything.

Am I right?

Hi ahengst,

It seems that you forgot to add
< ul > and < /ul > (without the spaces!) (alternatively, < ol > and < /ol > if you want it to display as a numbered list) into the “Before / after Popular Posts” fields (Settings > WordPress Popular Posts, don’t remember the actual path for older versions of WordPress).

Give it a try and let me know if you find any other issues!

Hi Simon,

Another user reported this not long ago. The fix has been already included on the next version of WordPress Popular Posts (soon to be released).

About the default markup issue, I’ve also taken care of that so don’t worry ??

Hi karl,

I think I’ve found a solution for this. Would you like to beta test the new version of my plugin on your blog to see if it works with qTranslate? If so, please leave your email in the contact form of my site so I can send it to you.

P.S.: not sure what you meant to say about the text editor thing. Can you please send me a screenshot of that?

Hi Karl,

I just checked that URL you provided, and read the documentation and apparently everything’s fine. WordPress Popular Posts should do the translations just fine.

I’d like to know, where exactly is this “<!–:se–>Swedish title<!–:–><!–:en–>English title<!–:–>” message showing up? Maybe I’d be able to track it down and find a solution for it.

Cheers!

Hi Karl,

I’m already working on this. I have contacted the author of this plugin with some questions so I can make it work with WordPress Popular Posts.

I’ll post back when I have made some progress!

Cheers
