 * I currently have several contributors on my WordPress blog. I wanted to find 
   out if it is possible to show popular posts by specific contributors? Basically,
   if a reader clicks any blog post by Contributor #1, can this plugin display the
   popular posts by Contributor #1 on that blog post on the right sidebar or below
   the current article? Kind of like a “Related Posts”, but only to that specific
   contributor?

 * Hi pantone,
 * Unfortunately, there’s no way to achieve this yet. It does sound like a good 
   idea, though. I can try adding this feature into my plugin if you like.

 * Hi there,
 * I’m very interested in this feature too. I run a multi-author magazine’s site,
   and this feature would be great for our author pages.
 * Anyone else?
 * Cheers,

 * Hi rash,
 * The latest version of the plugin already provides a way to achieve this. If you’re
   using the widget, simply put the author ID in the `Author(s) ID(s)` field and
   save changes. That’ll display only popular posts from that author.
 * Both the `wpp_get_mostpopular()` template tag and the `[wpp]` shortcode are also
   able to do this. You need to pass them the `author` parameter with the ID.

 * Cool, thank you very much!
    I prefer to use the template tag (and this is why
   I’ve missed the widget option), I’ll give it a go asap on my test versione of
   the web site and then publish it once I get what I need. I’ll post my results
   here.
 * Thanks again!
