Hey Ikki24,
that was a quick reply as usual! 🙂

This is a quick, easy but unfortunately “dirty” fix! I’ve done that already but after every plugin update the line will be uncommented. I believe the remove_action method is the clean way to do it but I guess I’m doing something wrong…

Hey Ikki, I checked all the attributes except from rating since I don’t use WP-PostRatings.
You might want to have another look at:
title_length=n -> the number of characters printed is actually n+3
Also I couldn’t get to do the pattern to work. The code I used:
do_pattern=1&pattern_form='{title}: {summary} {stats}' and in the output it was just ignored, getting a simple list formatted as if these atrributes didn’t exist.
Everything else seems to be working fine.

That was super-detailed! Thanks Ikki!
I thought that the default value for the range would be “all”, as soon as I’ve added it, the posts appeared! Great!! I would suggest you to add the default values in the attribute list.

For others who will use the function, here is my setup, with all the attributes that I’ve used:

<?php if (function_exists("get_mostpopular")) get_mostpopular("header='Popular Posts'&header_start='<h4>'&header_end='</h4>'&range=all&order_by=views&limit=8&stats_comments=0&stats_views=0&wpp_start='<ul>'&wpp_end='</ul>'&post_start='<li>'&post_end='</li>'&pages=0"); ?>

This code exports something like this:

<h4>Popular Posts</h4>
<ul>
<li>Post name here</li>
<li>Another post here</li>
.....
</ul>

Once again, thanks Ikki for all the great work, for sticking behind your plugin and take into consideration the users’ desires! 🙂

Thanks for the reply Ikki24 and thanks for all the time and effort you’ve put into the plugin, it’s really appreciated.

I really hope that in some point you’ll add this function again. I’m not a fan of widgets (I like to have full code control) and since I want the Popular posts list in the sidebar so for now I downgraded back to 1.5.1.

AutoKwame, I don’t think it’s possible to put it in a tabbed sidebar as a widget. Although I’m not completely sure. I know it is not suggested but maybe you should downgrade too (and keep you’re site intact) until a solution is found.

I appreciate the help stvwlf!

I create a page template named blog and i assign it to the static page blog. I open the blog page and it’s displayed with the blog template layout. Great.

However as soon as I set the page blog as the Posts Page, the page blog is not displayed according to the blog template but according to index.php template. I assume that the Posts Page is not a static page anymore.

As I wrote on the first post, I can edit index.php and make it appear just like blog template does but still, when I click on a post’s title (to open that post separately), it is displayed accordingly to the single.php template (which is different than blog template and index.php).

I hope I’m making myself clear.. I’m sorry for the not-so-clear and possibly confusing use of the terms.
