   it.

 * As the author I’d like to know, too. There have only been a couple of instances
   where we couldn’t get it to work, and only a handful where it didn’t work right
   out of the box.
 * I’ve used it successfully in every release of 2.8.

 * I have just noticed my error log is full of errors like this:
 * WordPress database error You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual
   that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near‘)’
   at line 1 for query INSERT INTO wp_recently_popular(`user_type`, `post_id`) VALUES(
   1, ); made by require, require_once, include, thesis_html_framework, get_header,
   locate_template, load_template, require_once, wp_head, do_action, call_user_func_array,
   recently_popular_record_hit
 * Any thoughts?

 * from FTP edit /wp-content/plugins/recently-popular/recently-popular.php
 * find this function: function recently_popular_record_hit()
 * //ERROR//$wpdb->query(“INSERT INTO $table(`user_type`, `post_id`) VALUES **($
   user_type, $post->ID);”);**
 * It should be:
 * $wpdb->query(“INSERT INTO $table(`user_type`, `post_id`) VALUES ($user_type, 
   $post->ID)”);
