 * Hi, ‘m building a site for used cars. I want to display the most viewed new, 
   used, certified cars, etc.
 * The vehicle post type is “listings”. The new/used taxonomy is “condition”. the
   Used tag id is “34498”.
 * I used the shortcode: [wpp post_type=’listings’ taxonomy=’condition’ term_id=’
   34500′] but nothing displays. Is there something else I need to do?
 * Thanks,
    Jason

 * Hi Jason,
 * > (…) but nothing displays.
 * Not even the “Sorry, no data so far” message that gets displayed when WPP can’t
   find posts that match the criteria? That’s odd.
 * I’m not near a computer at the moment so I can’t check your website right away.
   Could you please answer the following questions in the meantime?
    - Is WPP tracking your visits? (Go to **Settings > WordPress Popular Posts**,
      hit the config icon at the top left and make sure your `listings` post type
      is there. Are you seeing visits?)
    - Are you using a caching plugin?
    - Are you using a security / firewall plugin?
    - Are you sure that the post type is called `listings` (plural) and not `listing`(
      singular)?

 * Just checked your site. WPP seems to be working:
 * ![WPP at usacarshopper.com](https://i0.wp.com/oi68.tinypic.com/2gt69dv.jpg)
 * There’s an error message that you need to fix, though:
 * > Error: cannot ajaxify WordPress Popular Posts on this theme. It’s missing the`
   > id` attribute on before_widget (see [register_sidebar](https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/register_sidebar)
   > for more).
 * Your theme developer should be able to take care of that easily.

 * Hi Hector, I have no idea why this didn’t display earlier but everything seems
   fine now. Thanks for you help and making this plugin.
