* Hey [@quangtuyen1601](https://wordpress.org/support/users/quangtuyen1601/),
* The **post_html** parameter expects an static HTML structure. It can’t do dynamic
code like that, that’s why it’s not “working.”
* If you want to render dynamic content like your [count_chap] shortcode then do
this instead:
* **#1** Register a custom [Content Tag](https://github.com/cabrerahector/wordpress-popular-posts/wiki/2.-Template-tags#content-tags)
called {render_count_chap} that will handle the output of your shortcode, like
this for example:
* ```wp-block-code
/** * Parses custom content tags in WordPress Popular Posts. * * @param string $html The HTML markup from the plugin. * @param integer $post_id The post/page ID. * @return string */function wpp_parse_tags_in_popular_posts($html, $post_id) { // Replace custom content tag {render_count_chap} with [count_chap] if ( false !== strpos($html, '{render_count_chap}') ) { // Get tags $count_chap = do_shortcode('[count_chap post_id="' . $post_id . '"]'); // Replace {render_count_chap} with the output of [count_chap] $html = str_replace('{render_count_chap}', $count_chap, $html); } return $html;}add_filter('wpp_parse_custom_content_tags', 'wpp_parse_tags_in_popular_posts', 10, 2);
```
* This would go in your theme’s functions.php file.
* **#2** Update your code so it uses the newly registered {render_count_chap} Content
Tag:
* ```wp-block-code
function truyen_hot_shortcode($atts) { // Lấy tham số num từ shortcode, mặc định là 5 $atts = shortcode_atts(array( 'num' => 5, ), $atts, 'truyen_hot'); // Bắt đầu xây dựng output HTML ob_start(); if (function_exists('wpp_get_mostpopular')) { // Gọi wpp_get_mostpopular() và sử dụng post_html để định dạng HTML cho từng bài viết wpp_get_mostpopular(array( 'limit' => intval($atts['num']), 'range' => 'all', 'order_by' => 'views', 'post_type' => 'post', 'stats_views' => 1, 'thumbnail_width' => 158, 'thumbnail_height' => 258, 'wpp_start' => '
', 'default_thumbnail' => get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/images/Chua-co-anh-bia.png', // Ảnh mặc định nếu không có thumbnail )); } else { echo ""; } return ob_get_clean();}add_shortcode('truyen_hot', 'truyen_hot_shortcode');
```
* That should do the trick.
* One observation though: that **default_thumbnail** parameter you have in your
code is not doing anything. The wpp_get_mostpopular() function will ignore it
as it doesn’t exist. See [Parameters](https://github.com/cabrerahector/wordpress-popular-posts/wiki/2.-Template-tags#parameters)
to see a full list of parameters accepted by the wpp_get_mostpopular() function.
* If you want to set a fallback thumbnail for when posts don’t have one then go
to **Settings > WordPress Popular Posts > Tools**, under **Thumbnails** you’ll
find an option to set the default thumbnail.

* Hi, let me ask another question, I want to get the list of posts with the most
views without using **wpp_get_mostpopular **is that possible?
* It seems that using meta_key is not possible.

* I did it this way: **How To: Sorting a custom query by views (All time, monthly,
weekly, or daily)**
* But when it comes to displaying the number of views for each post, it only shows
0 views
* ```wp-block-code
```
* ```wp-block-code
function render_hot_stories_shortcode($atts) { // Lấy tham số shortcode $atts = shortcode_atts(array( 'num' => 5, // Số lượng bài viết cần lấy ), $atts, 'hot_stories'); $args = array( 'post_type' => 'post', 'meta_key' => 'views_total', 'orderby' => 'meta_value_num', 'order' => 'DESC', 'posts_per_page' => intval($atts['num']), // Lấy số lượng bài viết từ tham số shortcode ); $top_posts = new WP_Query($args); ob_start(); // Bắt đầu lưu trữ output để trả về sau if ($top_posts->have_posts()) { ?>
 . '/images/Chua-co-anh-bia.png'; ?>)
