It’s currently embedded to the first element under the header and on the homepage once. * ```wp-block-code Debug Details: Plugin Configuration Performance Nag: Inactive Log Limit: No Log Views From: Everyone Data Caching: Yes, 1 minute Data Sampling: Yes, with a rate of 100 External object cache: No WPP_CACHE_VIEWS: NoSystem Info PHP version: 8.0.30 PHP extensions: Core, date, libxml, openssl, pcre, zlib, apcu, bcmath, bz2, calendar, ctype, curl, dba, dom, hash, fileinfo, filter, ftp, gd, gettext, SPL, iconv, session, standard, igbinary, imagick, intl, json, mbstring, mcrypt, mysqlnd, mysql, mysqli, pcntl, PDO, pdo_mysql, Phar, posix, pspell, readline, redis, Reflection, shmop, SimpleXML, soap, sockets, exif, sysvmsg, sysvsem, sysvshm, tokenizer, xml, wddx, xmlreader, xmlwriter, xsl, yaml, zip, cgi-fcgi, Zend OPcache Database version: 8.0.33-25 InnoDB availability: DEFAULT WordPress version: 6.4.3 Multisite: No Active plugins: Application Passwords 0.1.3, Bunyad Demo Import 2.6.3, CoBlocks 3.1.5, Debloat 1.2.5, Elementor 3.19.2, Regenerate Thumbnails 3.1.6, SmartMag Core 1.4.7, Sphere Core 1.6.6, WordPress Popular Posts 6.4.0, Yoast SEO 22.1, Yoast SEO: News 13.1, Yoast SEO Premium 22.1, Zapier for WordPress 1.0.4 Theme: SmartMag (9.5.0) by ThemeSphere ``` * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fposts-not-loading-7%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 12 replies - 1 through 12 (of 12 total) * Thread Starter [nilskroeger](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nilskroeger/) * (@nilskroeger) * [2 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/posts-not-loading-7/#post-17440305) * Headers * ```wp-block-code Request URL: https://newsbase.io/wp-json/wordpress-popular-posts/v1/popular-posts/widget/widget?is_single=0 Request Method: GET Status Code: 404 Not Found Remote Address: 160.153.0.182:443 Referrer Policy: strict-origin-when-cross-origin ``` * Answer (German) * ```wp-block-code { "code": "rest_no_route", "message": "Es wurde keine Route gefunden, die mit der URL und der Request-Methode identisch ist.", "data": { "status": 404 } } ``` * Plugin Author [Hector Cabrera](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hcabrera/) * (@hcabrera) * [2 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/posts-not-loading-7/#post-17440439) * Hey [@nilskroeger](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nilskroeger/), * It seems like [something might be preventing the plugin from accessing the REST API](https://github.com/cabrerahector/wordpress-popular-posts/wiki/5.-FAQ#is-wordpress-popular-posts-compatible-with-security--firewall-plugins), hence the 404 errors you’re seeing there. * From your active plugins list I would say it’s probably _Application Passwords_( which hasn’t been updated in 3 years by the way.) * Thread Starter [nilskroeger](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nilskroeger/) * (@nilskroeger) * [2 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/posts-not-loading-7/#post-17440485) * Thanks. Deactivated it and not loading. Any other tipps? * Plugin Author [Hector Cabrera](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hcabrera/) * (@hcabrera) * [2 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/posts-not-loading-7/#post-17440539) * Try following these [troubleshooting instructions](https://github.com/cabrerahector/wordpress-popular-posts/wiki/5.-FAQ#initial-troubleshooting) and report back your results. * Thread Starter [nilskroeger](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nilskroeger/) * (@nilskroeger) * [2 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/posts-not-loading-7/#post-17440619) * When the health plugin is installed and active, it still doesn’t show on Frontpage. Interestingly the tool works if added to a new (empty) subpage and via WordPress Editor and not Elementor.[https://newsbase.io/popular-posts-test/](https://newsbase.io/popular-posts-test/) How can I make it so it works on the frontpage as well? * Thread Starter [nilskroeger](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nilskroeger/) * (@nilskroeger) * [2 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/posts-not-loading-7/#post-17440621) * Same with empty page & Elementor doesn’t work.. -> [https://newsbase.io/test-2-with-elementor/](https://newsbase.io/test-2-with-elementor/) * Thread Starter [nilskroeger](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nilskroeger/) * (@nilskroeger) * [2 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/posts-not-loading-7/#post-17440627) * Theres also an error message at the bottom of the widget in Elementor: Please save this widget (or reload this page to enable WPP themes. * Plugin Author [Hector Cabrera](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hcabrera/) * (@hcabrera) * [2 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/posts-not-loading-7/#post-17440692) * Ah, the classic WordPress Popular Posts widget doesn’t work all that great with Elementor. I may or may not create an actual “Popular Posts” Elementor widget sometime in the future, for the time being you’ll have to use the [[wpp] shortcode](https://github.com/cabrerahector/wordpress-popular-posts/wiki/1.-Using-WPP-on-posts-&-pages#the-wpp-shortcode) instead. * Thread Starter [nilskroeger](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nilskroeger/) * (@nilskroeger) * [2 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/posts-not-loading-7/#post-17440765) * Ah okay, thanks. Would it be possible for your plugin to, instead of own widget, just add an option here with “Sort by Views”? * ![](https://i0.wp.com/img001.prntscr.com/file/img001/bWt-4lZbQuWQDTznxfgkCg.png? ssl=1) * If so, how big donation so it’s implemented by end of the week? 😀 * Thanks! * Thread Starter [nilskroeger](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nilskroeger/) * (@nilskroeger) * [2 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/posts-not-loading-7/#post-17440769) * (It can already show the views in the metadata, so probably just a few lines needed to make it an option there I would guess) * Plugin Author [Hector Cabrera](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hcabrera/) * (@hcabrera) * [2 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/posts-not-loading-7/#post-17440921) * I would need to have a look at Elementor’s documentation to see how that could be done (if it’s even possible.) I’ll leave a comment here once I know more. * Plugin Author [Hector Cabrera](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hcabrera/) * (@hcabrera) * [2 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/posts-not-loading-7/#post-17441028) * Actually: [How to query popular posts with Elementor](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-query-wpp-with-elementor/)( it’s a couple of years old so I’m not sure if that still works, please give it a try and let me know how it goes.)
