That is, 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? * Display a **thumbnail** of your posts! (*see the [FAQ section](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-popular-posts/faq/) for technical requirements*). * 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 [styling the list](https://github.com/cabrerahector/wordpress-popular-posts/wiki/6.-Styling-the-list) for more). * **WPML** support! * **WordPress Multisite** support! = Other Features = * Check the **statistics** on your most popular posts from the dashboard. * Order your popular list by comments, views (default) or average views per day! * **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](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-popular-posts/installation/). * **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](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-popular-posts/installation/). * **Localizable** to your own language (*See the [FAQ section](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-popular-posts/faq/) for more info*). * **[WP-PostRatings](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-postratings/) support**. Show your visitors how your readers are rating your posts! **WordPress Popular Posts** is now also on [GitHub](https://github.com/cabrerahector/wordpress-popular-posts)! == Installation == Please make sure your site meets the [minimum requirements](https://github.com/cabrerahector/wordpress-popular-posts#requirements) before proceeding. = Automatic installation = 1. Log in into your WordPress dashboard. 2. Go to Plugins > Add New. 3. In the "Search Plugins" field, type in **WordPress Popular Posts** and hit Enter. 4. Find the plugin in the search results list and click on the "Install Now" button. = Manual installation = 1. Download the plugin and extract its contents. 2. Upload the `wordpress-popular-posts` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory. 3. Activate the **WordPress Popular Posts** plugin through the "Plugins" menu in WordPress. = Done! What's next? = 1. Go to Appearance > Widgets, drag and drop the **WordPress Popular Posts** widget to your sidebar. Once you're done configuring it, hit the Save button. 2. If you have a caching plugin installed on your site, flush its cache now so WPP can start tracking your site. 3. 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). 4. (Optional, but highly recommended for large / high traffic sites) Enabling [Data Sampling](https://github.com/cabrerahector/wordpress-popular-posts/wiki/7.-Performance#data-sampling) and/or [Caching](https://github.com/cabrerahector/wordpress-popular-posts/wiki/7.-Performance#caching) might be a good idea. Check [here](https://github.com/cabrerahector/wordpress-popular-posts/wiki/7.-Performance) for more. That's it! = USAGE = WordPress Popular Posts can be used in three different ways: 1. As a [widget](http://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Widgets): simply drag and drop it into your theme's sidebar and configure it. 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. Via [shortcode](https://github.com/cabrerahector/wordpress-popular-posts/wiki/1.-Using-WPP-on-posts-&-pages), so you can embed it inside a post or a page.
