Hello Hector,

Finally updating my code, based on the update that now accepts arguments and this now appears to work just fine.

Here is the code

$popular_posts_args = array (
			'header_start' => '<h2 class="widgettitle">',
			'header' => 'Popular Episodes',
			'header_end' => '</h2>',
			'limit' => 5,
			'range' => 'all',
			'title_length' => 25,
			'title_by_words ' => true,
			'post_type' => 'post',
			'cat' => '4',
			'excerpt_length' => 20,
			'thumbnail_width' => 100,
			'thumbnail_height' => 80,
			);

		wpp_get_mostpopular($popular_posts_args);

This works up until I try to pass in ‘markup’ parameter.

$popular_posts_args = array (
			'header_start' => '<h2 class="widgettitle">',
			'header' => 'Popular Episodes',
			'header_end' => '</h2>',
			'limit' => 5,
			'range' => 'all',
			'title_length' => 25,
			'title_by_words ' => true,
			'post_type' => 'post',
			'cat' => '4',
			'excerpt_length' => 20,
			'thumbnail_width' => 100,
			'thumbnail_height' => 80,
			'markup' => array(
				'wpp-start' => '<ol class="wpp-list">',
				'wpp-end' => '</ol>',
				'title-start' => '<h2 class="widgettitle">',
				'title-end' => '</h2>') ,
			'post_html' => '
					<li class="clearfix">
						<div class="wpp-content">
							<div class="wpp-img">{thumb}</div>
							<div class="wpp-text">{title}
								<p class="wpp-stats">{stats}</p>
							</div>
						</div>
					</li>'
			);

The above code produces an error:

‘Warning: htmlspecialchars() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in C:\wamp\www\Tujuane_Draft\wp-content\plugins\wordpress-popular-posts\wordpress-popular-posts.php on line 3000’

In addition, I note that one can only pass categories as cat_ids.

Is it possible to create the option of passing in the category by its category-slug? Reason I ask this, is I am developing my theme locally, and sometimes I cannot be sure if the same cat-ids are assigned to the same categories when they are created on the live site..
