Hi Héctor,

Is there a way, other than adding a link in the Before / after Popular Posts cell, to add a custom link to the Popular Posts list to one of my posts?

Thanks
Okoth

Hi @okoth1,

Well, if your theme registers widget areas (sidebars) properly WordPress assigns an unique ID to each Popular Posts widget (eg. wpp-[some-number-here]) so maybe you could use that as an anchor (eg. /#wpp-[some-number-here] or https://www.example.com/#wpp-[some-number-here]).

Okay, thanks Héctor. I’m going to give it a try.

There is no option for sticky posts in the list, right?

Nope, there’s no option for that. That would go against the nature of the plugin 😛

Ya I understand, but your plugin really helps to promote certain posts. It’s a great way of getting posts higher into Google. And with a new post or one that I want to promote for a certain time it helps when it’s on number 1 for some time.

Anyway, no problem.

You’re not updating the plugin that often. I’ll add a sticky category to the code 😀

I am planning to release a new version soon though 😛 (just been busy to actually work on it.)

Anyways, I’m marking this topic as resolved assuming that you were able to figure out the original question. Feel free to ask any other questions you may have.

Excellent! No problem Héctor. I’m still very happy with your plugin!
