 * Could the manual plugin placement be added as two shortcodes to the default plugin
   install? Currently I’ve installed the [Shortcode Exec PHP](https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/shortcode-exec-php/)
   plugin solely to have this made into a shortcode `[top10daily]`:
 * > if(function_exists(‘tptn_show_daily_pop_posts’)) tptn_show_daily_pop_posts();
 * Later on I’ll be making a similar one for the most popular of all time. All this
   is done to avoid having allowing PHP in pages and to avoid having to do any file
   edits as they are more complicated to administer.
 * When the [widget options are updated](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-top-10-widget-title-not-changable-has-different-formatting-than-other-widgets)
   then these two shortcodes would be deprecated by one that takes options. Up until
   that they would rock and since then they could be allowed to function as they
   used to not force users to change settings due to a plugin update.

 * Great! I tried implementing it already, but noticed it needs adding separate 
   handler functions. As I got a workaround GUI by Shortcode Exec PHP that suffices,
   I’ll look into other matters while waiting for your update.
