See the [announcement](https://cabrerahector.com/wordpress/wordpress-popular-posts-renamed-to-wp-popular-posts/) for more details. #### Haupt-Funktionen * **Multiple Popular Posts Lists** – You can have several Popular Posts lists on your blog, each with its own settings! * **Zeitraum** – Liste die Beiträge deines Blogs auf, die innerhalb eines bestimmten Zeitraums am populärsten waren, auf (z. B. die letzten 24 Stunden, die letzten 7 Tage, die letzten 30 Tage, usw.)! * **Custom Post-type support** – Want to show other stuff than just posts and pages, eg. Popular _Products_? [You can](https://github.com/cabrerahector/wordpress-popular-posts/wiki/5.-FAQ#i-want-to-have-a-popular-list-of-my-custom-post-type-how-can-i-do-that)! * **Thumbnails!** – Display a thumbnail of your posts! (_see the [FAQ section](https://github.com/cabrerahector/wordpress-popular-posts/wiki/5.-FAQ#how-does-wordpress-popular-posts-pick-my-posts-thumbnails) for more details_.) * **Statistik-Dashboard** – Schau direkt in deinem Admin-Bereich nach deinen populären Beiträgen. * **Sortieroptionen** – Sortiere deine Liste populärer Beiträge nach der Anzahl der Kommentare, Aufrufe (standard), oder der durchschnittlichen Aufrufe am Tag! * **Custom themes** – Out of the box, WP Popular Posts includes some themes so you can style your popular posts list (see [Widget Themes](https://github.com/cabrerahector/wordpress-popular-posts/wiki/6.-Styling-the-list#themes) for more details). * **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](https://github.com/cabrerahector/wordpress-popular-posts/wiki/5.-FAQ#how-can-i-use-my-own-html-markup-with-your-plugin) and [How to style WP Popular Posts](https://github.com/cabrerahector/wordpress-popular-posts/wiki/6.-Styling-the-list) for more.) * **Performance Tools!** – WP Popular Posts includes a few options to make sure your site’s performance stays as good as ever! (see [Performance](https://github.com/cabrerahector/wordpress-popular-posts/wiki/7.-Performance) for more details.) * **REST API support** – Embed your popular posts in your (web) app! (see [REST API Endpoints](https://github.com/cabrerahector/wordpress-popular-posts/wiki/8.-REST-API-Endpoints) for more.) * **Elementor support** – Are you building sites with Elementor? There’s a popular posts widget for it too! * **Unterstützung für Disqus** – Sortiere deine populären Beiträge nach der Anzahl der Kommentare bei Disqus! * **Unterstützt Polylang und WPML 3.2+** – Stelle die übersetzte Version deiner populären Beitrage dar! * **WordPress Multisite support** – Each site on the network can have its own popular posts list! #### Andere Funktionen * **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](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-popular-posts/#installation). * **Template tags** – Don’t feel like using blocks? 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](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-popular-posts/#installation). * **Localization** – [Translate WPP into your own language](https://github.com/cabrerahector/wordpress-popular-posts/wiki/5.-FAQ#i-want-to-translate-your-plugin-into-my-language--help-you-update-a-translation-what-do-i-need-to-do). * **[WP-PostRatings](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-postratings/) support** – Show your visitors how your readers are rating your posts! #### PSA: The classic WP Popular Posts widget has reached End-of-Life The classic WP Popular Posts widget doesn’t work very well / at all with the [block-based Widgets editor](https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/block-based-widgets-editor/) introduced with WordPress 5.8. This new Widgets editor expects [WordPress blocks](https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/blocks-list/) instead of regular WordPress widgets. If you’re using the classic WP Popular Posts widget please replace it with the [WP Popular Posts block](https://cabrerahector.com/wordpress/wordpress-popular-posts-5-3-improved-php-8-support-retina-display-support-and-more/#block-editor-support) instead – it has the same features and functionality as the „classic“ widget so you won’t be missing anything at all. See the [Migration Guide](https://cabrerahector.com/wordpress/migrating-from-the-classic-popular-posts-widget/) for more details. Bjorn from wplearninglab.com was kind enough to create a video explaining how to use the new block for all of you visual learners: If you cannot (or do not want to) use WordPress blocks on your website then please replace your classic widget with the [[wpp] shortcode](https://github.com/cabrerahector/wordpress-popular-posts/wiki/1.-Using-WPP-on-posts-&-pages#the-wpp-shortcode). #### Unterstütze das Projekt! If you’d like to support my work and efforts to creating and maintaining more open source projects your donations and messages of support mean a lot!

Melde dich in deinem WordPress-Dashboard an. 2. Gehe auf Plugins > Installieren. 3. In the „Search Plugins“ field, type in **WP Popular Posts** and hit Enter. 4. Finde das Plugin in den Suchergebnissen und klicke auf die Schaltfläche „Jetzt installieren“. #### Manuelle Installation 1. Lade das Plugin herunter und entpacke die Dateien 2. Lade den Ordner `wordpress-popular-posts` in das Verzeichnis `/wp-content/plugins/` hoch. 3. Activate the **WP Popular Posts** plugin through the „Plugins“ menu in WordPress. #### Fertig! Was jetzt? 1. Please see the Usage section below to learn how to add a popular post list to your site. Once you’re done, keep reading. 2. Wenn du ein Caching-Plugin auf deiner Website installiert hast, lösche den Cache jetzt, damit WPP beginnen kann, deine Zugriffe zu erfassen. 3. If you have a plugin that minifies JavaScript (JS) installed on your site please read this FAQ: [Is WP Popular Posts compatible with plugins that minify/bundle JavaScript code?](https://github.com/cabrerahector/wordpress-popular-posts/wiki/5.-FAQ#is-wordpress-popular-posts-compatible-with-plugins-that-minifybundle-javascript-code) 4. Wenn du ein Sicherheit-Plugin oder eine Firewall in deiner Website installiert hast, stelle sicher, dass du [erlaube WPP Zugriff auf die REST API (engl.)](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wpp-does-not-count-properly/#post-10411163), damit die Zugriffe auf deine Seite erfasst werden. 5. Go to Appearance > Editor > Theme File Editor. Under „Theme Files“, click on „Theme Header“ (`header.php`) and make sure that the `` tag is present( it should be somewhere before the closing `` tag). 6. (Optional but highly recommended) Are you running a medium/high traffic site? If so, it might be a good idea to check [these suggestions](https://github.com/cabrerahector/wordpress-popular-posts/wiki/7.-Performance) to make sure your site’s performance stays up to par. Das war es! #### VERWENDUNG WP Popular Posts can be used in four different ways: 1. If you’re using the [Block Editor](https://wordpress.org/support/article/wordpress-editor/) you can insert a WP Popular Posts block on your sidebar and even anywhere within your posts and pages. 2. As a template tag: you can place it anywhere on your theme with [`wpp_get_mostpopular()`](https://github.com/cabrerahector/wordpress-popular-posts/wiki/2.-Template-tags#wpp_get_mostpopular). 3. Per [Shortcode (engl.)](https://github.com/cabrerahector/wordpress-popular-posts/wiki/1.-Using-WPP-on-posts-&-pages), so dass du sie in einen Beitrag oder eine Seite einbetten kannst. 4. If you’re using [Elementor](https://wordpress.org/plugins/elementor/) on your site you can use the [WP Popular Posts widget for Elementor](https://cabrerahector.com/wordpress/wordpress-popular-posts-7-3-experimental-elementor-support/).

Januar 2026 1 Antwort WordPress Popular Posts is fundamentally broken for cached sites. It defeats the entire purpose of Nginx/WP Rocket caching. There you spend all your energy optimizing to reduce every imaginable PHP FPM invocation, let alone the absurd DB query cascade of WP, and then this plugin comes and fires a XHR to the backend to load content that could have and should have come prerendered through the main page request. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/196372762c370db561df1cab1b43ddbdc086092cc029580ae47b514d8c616d26? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Great plugin – great support](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-plugin-great-support-1988/)󠁿 [seegeist](https://profiles.wordpress.org/seegeist/) 27. Mai 2025 1 Antwort I’ve only been using the plugin for a few days. At first I had a problem, thanks to the good and fast support I was able to solve the problem quickly, it was not due to the plugin, but to my theme. Since then everything has been working as it should. They also respond to change requests. Just great. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/971f6b88833ed050478815d6adcb22115bf29ea7b38c0c670d72841e32e85855? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[No css customization option](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-css-customization-option/)󠁿 [abre01](https://profiles.wordpress.org/abre01/) 24. Mai 2025 1 Antwort Out of sheer frustration I would like to give only one star because the css style cannot be changed in the normal way. I have tried for hours. It is only possible with great effort, e.g. via changes in funcions.php. Since the plugin works otherwise, I still give it 3 stars. It’s a pity, but because of the missing css customization option I threw it down! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/0b120c4d93a66eed8bdf0092f8e382224491d330b4d2b8508988982e4143c242? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Plugin incrível](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-incrivel-10/)󠁿 [D](https://profiles.wordpress.org/subdigus/) 23.
