WordPress.com Popular Posts

IMPORTANT: due to my job, I’m now too busy to maintain my plugins.

This plugin has been abandoned!

If you are a developer and would like to fork, feel free to do so (under the GPLv3 license). No need to contact me.

WordPress.com Popular Posts integrates with WordPress.com Stats plugin, providing a widget to show the most viewed posts.

Installation

  • From v2.0.0, WordPress 2.8 is required. If you are using an older version of WordPress, use v1.3.5 of this plugin.
  • Install WordPress.com Stats plugin (required at least v1.2!!!)
  • Download WordPress.com Popular Posts
  • Extract the files in the .zip archive, and upload them (including subfolders) to your /wp-content/plugins/ directory
  • Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
  • Place the widget where you like in your sidebars
  • Enjoy!

Themes Integration

If your theme supports widgets, you can place the widget named ‘Popular Posts’ where you want.

If it doesn’t, put this code inside the file sidebar.php, in your theme files:

<?php if (function_exists('WPPP_show_popular_posts')) WPPP_show_popular_posts(); ?>

Optionally you can add some parameters to the function, in this format:

name=value&name=value etc.

Possible names are:

  • title (title of the widget, you can add tags (e.g. <h3>Popular Posts</h3>) default: Popular Posts)
  • number (number of links shown, default: 5)
  • days (length of the time frame of the stats, default 0, i.e. infinite)
  • show (what you want to show; it can be: both, posts, pages; default is both)
  • format(the format of the links shown, default: 
    <a href='%post_permalink%' title='%post_title%'>%post_title%</a>

    )

  • excerpt_length (the length of the excerpt, if %post_excerpt% is used in the format)
  • title_length (the length of the title links, default 0, i.e. unlimited)
  • exclude (the list of post/page IDs to exclude, separated by commas. Read the FAQ for instructions)
  • cutoff (don’t show posts/pages with a view count under this number, default 0, i.e. unlimited)
  • list_tag (can be: ul, ol, none, default ul)
  • category (the ID of the category, see the FAQ for info. Default 0, i.e. all categories)
  • cachename (it is used to enable the cache. Please read the FAQ).

You can use these special markers in the format value:

  • %post_permalink% the link to the post
  • %post_title% the title the post
  • %post_title_attribute%the title of the post; use this in attributes, e.g. 
    <a title='%post_title_attribute%'...
  • %post_views% number of views
  • %post_excerpt% the first n characters of the content. Set n in the widget options.
  • %post_category% the category of the post
Example

If you want to show the widget without any title, the 3 most viewed articles, in the last week, and in this format: My Article (123 views) you will use this:

<?php WPPP_show_popular_posts( "title=&number=3&days=7&format=<a href='%post_permalink%' title='%post_title_attribute%'>%post_title% (%post_views% views)</a>" );?>
Shortcodes

If you want to include the list in a particular page or post, you can use shortcodes. Please read the FAQ for further info.

Hi, I’m having problems getting this plugin to show results.

I downloaded the wppp – debug file and it shows that I’m not receiving some important info, post_id, post_title, and the correct permalink.

See here (i replaced my real website witha fake one for posting here):

[0] => Array
(
[post_id] =>
[post_title] =>
[post_permalink] => http://mywebsite.com/blog
[views] => 32
)

[1] => Array
(
[post_id] =>
[post_title] =>
[post_permalink] => http://mywebsite.com/blog
[views] => 7
)

[2] => Array
(
[post_id] =>
[post_title] =>
[post_permalink] => http://mywebsite.com/blog
[views] => 4
)

ETC…

Hi Frasten,

Is there any special reason why you don’t use the summarize function for get_csv_stats? Isn’t it more accurate to get the most popular posts of the last month?

$top_posts = stats_get_csv( 'postviews', "days={$instance['days']}&limit=-1&summarize=1" );

I made this change in wppp.php and the output of WPPP (finally) reflects the values I see when I use WP-Stats-Dashboard > Top Posts in last 30 days (or either period).

Would love to see this in a future version 😎

===/quote===

I have wp 1.9.1, WPPP Version 1.3.5 and Stats 1.6 with double output:

# page (1 reader)
# post (5 reader)
# post (1 reader)

(here comes title: Popular Posts =deleted by parameter title=)

* page
* page
* post
* post

when I add parameter &format=%post_title% (%post_views% views)

title shows up again despite deleted by parameter title=

2. can I exclude certain pages by parameter?

Thanks! & good plugin!

Os.
