Beschreibung

WordPress Popular Posts is a highly customizable widget that displays your most popular posts.

Main Features

  • Multi-widget capable – You can have several widgets of WordPress Popular Posts on your blog, each with its own settings!
  • Time Range – List those posts of your blog that have been the most popular ones within a specific time range (eg. last 24 hours, last 7 days, last 30 days, etc)!
  • Custom Post-type support – Wanna show other stuff than just posts and pages?
  • Thumbnails! – Display a thumbnail of your posts! (see the FAQ section for technical requirements.)
  • Statistics dashboard – See how your popular posts are doing directly from your admin area.
  • Sorting options – Order your popular list by comments, views (default) or average views per day!
  • Use your own layout! – WPP is flexible enough to let you customize the look and feel of your popular posts! (see customizing WPP’s HTML markup and How to style WordPress Popular Posts for more.)
  • Disqus support – Sort your popular posts by Disqus comments count!
  • Polylang & WPML 3.2+ support – Show the translated version of your popular posts!
  • WordPress Multisite support – Each site on the network can have its own popular posts!

Other Features

  • Shortcode support – Use the [wpp] shortcode to showcase your most popular posts on pages, too! For usage and instructions, please refer to the installation section.
  • Template tags – Don’t feel like using widgets? No problem! You can still embed your most popular entries on your theme using the wpp_get_mostpopular() template tag. Additionally, the wpp_get_views() template tag allows you to retrieve the views count for a particular post. For usage and instructions, please refer to the installation section.
  • Localization – Translate WPP to your own language (See the FAQ section for more info).
  • WP-PostRatings support – Show your visitors how your readers are rating your posts!

WordPress Popular Posts is now also on GitHub!

  2. If you have a caching plugin installed on your site, flush its cache now so WPP can start tracking your site.

  4. Go to Appearance > Editor. Under „Templates“, click on header.php and make sure that the <?php wp_head(); ?> tag is present (should be right before the closing </head> tag).
  5. (Optional, but highly recommended for large / high traffic sites) Enabling Data Sampling and/or Caching might be a good idea. Check here for more.

Rezensionen

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.

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.
