Popular posts Widget

Published: October 27, 2010 Last changed: October 29, 2012 Comments: 7 Tags: wordpress, wordpress page, wordpress plugin, wordpress popular posts plugin, wordpress single post, wordpress widget

This plugin will provide you a new widget which shows the most discussed posts in a unordered list (<ul></ul>), based on comment count.

Widget options

  • Title
  • Amount of posts
  • Custom ul class
  • Custom li class
  • Post type (post, page, all, custom post types)

You can set a title for the widget, together with the amount of post titles you want to show. Besides that, you are able to set a custom ul class and a li class. If the ul or li class is empty, it will just parse a the regular html code without any classes at all.

How to use ?
Just install the plugin as you are used. Go to the admin panel and choose “Widgets” which you can find under “Appearance”. Put the widget into a sidebar and customize the settings!

    Hi,

    A option for post types are now added. You can choose between the standard WP types and additionally, custom post types!
    Hope this is what you had in mind….

    When I add the widget to my site, no posts are shown.

    Hi Exhelp,

    You must have comments on a certain post type. No comments, no posts are shown.

    Concerning the post types, they will be shown @ the widgets area, even if there are no posts in it. Thats my bad, needs to be updated but can’t harm anything, but can give you a empty widget.

    hi, is there any way that the posts shown can be automatically changed each day?

    Hi Maddia,

    This plugin works on comment count. So — a quick answer would be no.
    How more comments, how higher ranked.

    Cheers
