Rezensionen
Best plugin, for show popular posts needs
Fast support, good customization
Rampant server problems
Unfortunately, I can’t recommend this plugin, though it has nice features. I have had major issues with this plugin causing CPU spikes, leading to database outages, and bringing my entire server cluster to a halt. I can fix it by killing rogue php-fpm processes, sometimes restarting apache, but the problems always come back. My server CPUs now run nice and cool at around 1% load, where they never ran below 50% with this plugin active. Having it on post sidebar killed my site completely, having it on homepage sidebar only still caused heavy CPU load. I am sure it’s a conflict with something else as my theme is custom, but who has time to chase these kinds of ghosts? Sorry – moving on.
breaks WooCommerce – empty cart
with this plugin activated I get the „Your cart is empty!“ problem
Handy plugin
I only would suggest to make wpp_get_popularposts() to be able to return a list of post ids for full and easier control of templating.
Great plugin!
I use it pretty often. Love wpp_get_mostpopular() template tag.
Good plugin
It works correctly.
