 * I updated my plugin and all of a sudden it is no longer limiting my post count
   to 5. Please take a look at my page [http://www.DRDAPO.com](http://www.DRDAPO.com)
   and let me know what i should do to fix the issue. it’s disturbingly sloppy.

 * Hi there,
 * It seems to me that it is working properly since there were two posts listed 
   on the top area of your site when I visited it.
 * My plugin recently changed the way it caches all popular posts, so that might
   explain why it suddenly stop showing some posts on your “Poppin’ posts” section.
   Here’s a small brief about the update: [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/352693#post-1361288](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/352693#post-1361288)(
   which you can also find at the FAQ section).
 * Things should be getting back to normal within the next few days as your visitors
   come by your site.

 * no but towards the end of the day….after more than 5 links have been visited…
   it keep logging the posts in the “poppin posts” section. If you go look at my
   site right now…or any day after about 3 or 4pm EST..you will see what i am talking
   about.
 * how do i fix this

 * Hey DrDapo,
 * I just checked your site and yes it is showing more than 5 posts – 10, actually,
   which is the default setting. To make it show only 5, please do the following:
 * 1. Go to your **wp-admin** area
    2. Go to **Appeareance > Widgets** 3. On the
   right column where active widgets are, find **WordPress Popular Posts** and click
   on the arrow next to it so you can see the config area 4. Set the option **“Show
   up to”** to 5 5. Scroll down and click on **Save** when you’re done
 * That should do it!

 * i think the problem is that the plugin is configured into my blog’s template.
   i don’t know how to change it from my site’s file manager or from the back-end.
   when i go to appearance > widgets i don’t see the widget.

 * In that case, I’d need to see your theme’s code so I can tell you what to do 
   my friend.
 * Here are a few suggestions:
 * # Post your theme’s code here so I can take a look at it (index.php code should
   be good enough).
    # Email me your theme (yo at soyunduro dot com) so I can modify
   it. # Create a temporary admin account for me so I can log in into your wp-admin
   and make changes directly on your site. You can delete it after I’m done.
