Popular Posts Bar Widget

Hello pantunes85,

Thanks for your purchase! That’s really a good idea—if the title is empty, you might want to hide it. I’ll add that functionality ASAP . For the time being, you can look for this line:

echo $args['before_title'] . $instance['title'] . $args['after_title'];

And you can delete it so it won’t show the title.

Let me know if you need something else.

You’ll have to deactivate the plugin, in that moment it won’t store anything in your database.

Hello marcofama,

Unfortunately, the plugin can’t import views data from other sources, as it seems like it’s another format. You’ll start with small numbers, but it’ll catch up pretty soon.

The comment data is automatically synched. You could start with this widget while you wait a few days until the views count catch up with your real stats.

Any way, it won’t show “0 views”, it will calculate the most popular posts and will show the top 5.

Hello massivesound,

Thanks for your purchase! Are you sure the ‘guestbook’ page is not a post? The plugin is ignoring anything that’s not a post.

Also, do you have a link?

Let me know if you need something else, happy new year!

Hello Deciso, Thanks for your purchase, I’m very glad you are happy with it, I’ve put a lot of hard work into it. Don’t forget to rate it!

Have a great year!

Hello Deciso,

Unfortunately, that’s not an intended behaviour, the popular posts are calculated site-wide. I’ll have to check it, but it could turn to be quite hard to make selectable categories.

Hello bluecon, thanks to you for purchasing this item!

Please open up the style.css file and find this line:

.popular_posts_bars_li{

overflow: visible !important;

And that’ll fix your issue.

Hello Deciso,

So far, only the W3 Total Cache has issues with this plugin.

Yes, it is required. In order to calculate how popular the posts are, each visit has to be captured with the exact time and date, there’s really no other way around it.

2 days… over 8 Megabyte. Site loading with the widget – 4 seconds more. this is a nightmare… popular post free plugin works better. wp views also dont need so much space or loading time.

sorry but this is too heavy for me and my seo. the idea are awesome but the performance sucks.

Hello,

It might be that yours is an extreme case. Sincerely, there would be no other way to get the graphs that this plugin is showing without all that data that it’s saving.

I’m working on a new version with cached data, that might work very well for you. I hope to have it ready on the few following days.

Hello marco,

Those are very good ideas. The ‘views’ string might be localized, as it would make little sense to add it as an option on the menu. The number format might be a weird one, I’m not sure if that can be localized.

Anyway, I’m working on a new version. Stay tuned!

Hello DARKF3D3 ,

Do you have a link for that?

Hello mbourg, thanks for your purchase!

What do you mean with ‘strange’?

Hello mbourg,

You can change them if you know some CSS -fu, just open up the style_alternate.css file and set a height to the li element.

Hello gadgetman, thanks for your purchase.

Are you using some kind of cache plugin? That might mess up with the views count as it will slow down the updates. I’m looking for a way to disable that, but I’m not sure that’s possible.

Hello sciencemies,

The new version will focus on performance, as it’s the #1 issue. As I’ve stated before, the categories might be too hard to set up, however I will not discard it, but don’t expect it too much.

Thanks, let me know if you need something else.

Hello culture-ist,

Thank you for your purchase! I’m glad to help you, but I can’t find where the widget is right now. Please enable it, tell me where’s located and if you can, add an image too of your issue. Also, please check the included help files and the faq, sometimes you just have to check a box.
