It’s been fixed and a new version of my plugin should be available within the next few hours from now. Please make sure you get a backup of your database before upgrading to 1.5.0! * Cheers! * [MattAlgren](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mattalgren/) * (@mattalgren) * [16 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-popular-posts-thumbnails-not-working-1/#post-1142040) * Hey Ikki24, * I tried to update to 1.5, and kept getting a database error. After I took the. zip out of the folder, it uploaded correctly, but now I’m getting what looks like php on the front end (using the sidebar widget). * I backed out to 1.4.6 until it’s straightened out. * [Héctor Cabrera](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ikki24/) * (@ikki24) * [16 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-popular-posts-thumbnails-not-working-1/#post-1142047) * Hey Matt, * Got a screenshot of that error? * **Update:** nevermind. Found out what it was and fixed it. Please download version v1.5.0 and try again! * [MattAlgren](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mattalgren/) * (@mattalgren) * [16 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-popular-posts-thumbnails-not-working-1/#post-1142060) * Hm… Okay, I updated to 1.5.1 yesterday afternoon and it seems to be working ( still didn’t like the zip within the zip, though), but on the blog it’s still reading returning “Sorry. No data so far.” I checked the database, and the popularpostsdata table is showing 88,807 records. * Maybe I should drop the table and let it start from scratch? * (Take a look at [http://blog.mattalgren.com](http://blog.mattalgren.com)) * [MattAlgren](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mattalgren/) * (@mattalgren) * [16 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-popular-posts-thumbnails-not-working-1/#post-1142062) * That seems to have worked. * [Héctor Cabrera](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ikki24/) * (@ikki24) * [16 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-popular-posts-thumbnails-not-working-1/#post-1142064) * Glad to know that, Matt!! * [jawtry](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jawtry/) * (@jawtry) * [16 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-popular-posts-thumbnails-not-working-1/#post-1142078) * I’m having the same problem with thumbnails. I upgraded to the latest version, and am still seeing “missing image” blocks on the page. * Here is some of the rendered code: * ```

Is that why the thumbnails aren’t working? * Thanks! * PS. My blog is [http://www.unplugyourkids.com](http://www.unplugyourkids.com), and my plugin version is 1.5.1.
