    Hi there!

    isn’t it suppose to reset the views every week and start over again to get the most popular posts for the new week ?

    Nope, it doesn’t work quite that way actually.

    When set to “Last 7 days” (or “weekly” for the range parameter in [wpp] shortcode / wpp_get_mostpopular() template tag), WPP will retrieve the most popular posts from the last 7 days from the current date, not from the current week.

    The “weekly” value is misleading, I know, and should fix it some time.

    Thank you so much for replying

    For now Is there anyway we can make it reset every 7 days and star over ?

    Thanks in advance

    Well, you could use either the Clear cache button or the Clear all data button (see Settings > WordPress Popular Posts > Tools ) to manually delete the info stored by WPP every monday.

    Keep in mind that once you do it you won’t be able to recover your data anymore (which also affects the statistics shown at Settings > WordPress Popular Posts > Stats).

    There might be a way to do it, actually 🙂

    I was thinking of using WordPress’ Scheduled Events to have your blog clear WPP’s data automatically every Monday. Just haven’t had the time to actually try this idea due to some work stuff I’m doing now. If you want, I can look into it during this upcoming weekend and post the results here.

    Hey there!

    Just a little update: the idea I originally thought won’t work due to some restrictions I didn’t think of before. There are a couple of workarounds that might do the trick, but can’t confirm anything until I actually try them.

    I’ll keep you posted with the results 🙂
