How to exclude some of the posts showing from the trending posts?
]]>I need to understand the functionality of this plugin, specifically as it applies to range. What I want is what is the most popular among all posts over a desired time. In other words, I want the plugin to display what posts people have read in the past seven days, regardless of when the posts were published. That’s what I understand “trending” to mean, and I’ve seen that in widget form, but that doesn’t have the apprearance options that your plugin does.
Counting posts since the beginning of time results in a static feature, with the oldest posts most likely to be displayed. And that’s what I don’t want.
Reading you description I don’t see anything that would accomplsh what I do want

Hi there,
Thank you for providing such an excellent plugin. I’ve encountered some issues while using it, specifically when I input shortcodes in the Elementor editor to display popular posts. The conditions I set display correctly in the editor’s preview mode, but once published, all the set conditions fail to work on the frontend.
For instance, when I set it to display 2 posts, it actually shows 9 posts on the frontend. If I increase the number, the displayed number also increases, yet I can’t seem to figure out the pattern.
Could you please help me confirm this issue? I greatly appreciate it!
If you need to access the website, you can check: https://wicca.tw/, where I currently still have the popular posts display of your plugin on the homepage.
Below are my screenshots for your easier understanding.
Looking forward to your reply,

I’ve added the carousel to my page, and I see that I can specify a post type, but it seems I can only specify ONE post type in the post type parameter:
[wtpsw_carousel post_type="post"] /* works */
[wtpsw_carousel post_type="guide"] /* works */I’ve tried adding multiple post types, separated by a comma, but that doesn’t work.
[wtpsw_carousel post_type="post,guide"] /* does not display anything in carousel */Is this supported/supposed to work?
]]>I’m using the popular post slider and it’s working but I don’t know how to make the title font smaller, right now it’s so big and not responsive on mobile either. Is there a CSS code I can use?
]]>When I go to an author’s page, that is, the author’s archive page, the widget displaying the trending posts shows the posts with the same name of the current author’s name viewing the archive posts.
For example, take a look at the left where the trending posts are: https://seattlecollegian.com/author/miguel-jocom/
It displays in all of them “Miguel Jocom”. He isn’t the author of all the trending posts. To compare, go to homepage and see who are the real authors. In the homepage, it works well.
]]>I am using the plugin in the English version of my site and would like to add it to the Spanish section. All my Spanish files are under puertovallarta.net/espanol – is there a way to limit the shown articles to that folder exclusively? It worked really well for English, would like to use it sitewide.

sorry I didn’t see nothing because no view. Now is working perfectly
Thanks
Hello
I using a short code [wtpsw_carousel limit=”12″ post_type=”post” showdate=”false” showcontent=”true” words_limit=”1″ showauthor=”false” show_comment_count=”false” dots=”false” slides_to_show=”4″ autoplayinterval=”4000″], on the home page.
I would like to display the excerpt but without the “…”, like you can see on “DOCUMENTO…”. I know that instruction is on wtpw-functions.php but I don’t want to change directly that file.
Thank you very much in advance.

I have selected: Events( Post Type : tribe_events )
To trend, but it never shows in the slider.
I have my trend date set to past month.
https://snipboard.io/PhJKrw.jpg
I manually edited the views in mysql (I have done this before to make posts trend), and it never shows in the post slider. I am using shortcode:
[wtpsw_carousel limit=”16″ view_by=”views” show_comment_count=”false” media_size=”thumbnail” showauthor=”false”]
Can someone help give me some ideas on what’s happening? (aside from digging through the code)
]]>hey there, i am wondering on what occasions the view count is reset? I have a blog article here that was viewed more than 30 times. then I had to import a backup BUT that backup was from a day where the post had a view count of about 24. Now however the view count is down to only 2. So here i my question: on which occasions is this view count reset? I assume that the view count remains untouched when the theme is updated, the server cache is cleared and things like that, right? hope my problem got clear..

How can I do?
Thank you in advance.
]]>I’ve used your other plugin Recent Post Slider for several months and it works great.
I wanted to try switching to this plugin as I wanted control on the sort order (which is not available in the recent posts plugin – you guys should consider adding that).
I have enabled this plugin and opened several pages on the frontend in an uncached view, and still NOTHING displays. I’m using the widget shortcode [wtpsw_carousel] and have tried placing it in a post, in a widget HTML Code box, in a widget Text box, I’ve tried your provided widget (which btw does not match the name in your documentation, I assume its the widget titled: WPOS Trending Posts).
Any idea why this is not working? Is there a conflict between using the Recent Posts Slider plugin and this one? Looking for help. Thanks!
]]>Hello,
I found this below code to show view counts but I can’t get it to work in 1.5.2.
Is this code still valid?
Thank you for your response…
Go to line no 39 of wp-trending-post-slider-and-widget/templates/slider/design-1.php and put this code
<?php
$views = get_post_meta( $post->ID, WTPSW_META_PREFIX.'views', true );
$views = !empty($views)?$views:0;
$wtpsw_post_stats[] = "<span class='wtpsw-post-comment'># of Views: ".get_post_meta( $post->ID, WTPSW_META_PREFIX.'views', true )."</span>";
?>
Note:- Your modified code will lose when the plugin will update.
if you face error then write manually do not copy and paste may be causing quote (”) issue.I’m using this plugin on a different website and I can’t make it centered aligned. I’m using the Carousel slider. This post https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/centering-the-items/ didn’t address the problem.
Is there a CSS code I can use? Thanks
]]>Hello dear plugin dev!
I am using the shortcode
[wtpsw_popular_post words_limit=”title”]
In the description it says :” Display number of words in a post content.” ‘
Perhaps a dumb question, but how can I display the title AND limit the words?
Thanks, also for the fine plugin!
When using the [wtpsw_carousel] shortcode to show more than one post type, it does not work – no items are shown at all.
For example, I have a custom post type called guide, and want to show both post and guide items in the carousel, so I enter [wtpsw_carousel post_type="post, guide"] and the entire carousel comes back empty.
If I enter either [wtpsw_carousel post_type="post"] or [wtpsw_carousel post_type="guide"], then it works correctly, but only shows the sigle post type.
I have noticed that if I change the code on line 192 of wp-trending-post-slider-and-widget\includes\class-wtpsw-shortcode.php as below, then it works as expected, so something is going wrong in your parsing/validation of the parameters:
'post_type' => array ('post', 'guide'), // $post_type,
It would be great to see a fix for this in the plugin
]]>how can I increase the width of the gridbox to cover the entire width of my page?
thanks
Hello,
I have a special tricky problem. I want to use a plugin to display a table of content.
In this I have excluded all the titles I do not need but one issue is left:
The text/blog titles in the popular posts uses h3. These I cannot exclude in the plugin I mentioned, because I use them in my blog texts. And I cannot exclude them by the text in the grids (what would theoetically be possible) because they are not always the same, because they change in popularity…
By CSS I already changed the font sizes in the Popular Post grid, but how can I change the h3 to h4, which would solve the issue? I could control the size by the CSS then.
Thanks for help!
After playing around with the widget earlier, I finally found the fault that is stopping this plugin from becoming a great plugin.
I first went to the main settings and set up a ‘pages’ option in the widget, but this just exposed the fault more.
In the main settings, there’s a dropdown option to set ‘all time’, ‘last month’, ‘last week’ and ‘last day’, which in theory, seeing as this is supposed to be a trending posts plugin, should show the pages or posts viewed most often in the last month, last week, or last day.
Underneath this dropdown however, there are more instructions:
Select time range for post visibility. Note: The post published within this time range will be visible.
This last part lets the whole side down, as if it’s set to – let’s say – ‘last month’, then nothing will show at all due to no new pages having been published in the last month.
So is there a way to turn this plugin into a trending posts plugin for ALL posts and pages regardless of when they were first published?
]]>Hi. I’m interested in the popular post plugin.
I would like to know if I can add a grid in a category page instead of changing the layout.
Thanks.
I’m playing around with the ‘widget’ version today.
I noticed that there’s only the option to create a trending posts/pages list that goes straight down from top to bottom.
I’m also using a theme that allows ‘widget shortcodes’ so that I can place a trending posts widget anywhere on the page.
With that in mind, are there any plans to introduce the ‘carousel’, ‘slider’ and the ‘gridbox’ into the widget?
]]>This plugin is far away and above any other ‘trending posts’ plugin at the moment, but there is one huge fault…
Activated the plugin on ‘all time’ mode and visited a couple of posts, then left it to run by itself and see which posts were being viewed (trending).
Set it back to seven days after a short while, and everything disappeared except for the two posts I’d originally visited in the first step.
So now I’ve got the plugin set to ‘all time’, which is not exactly an indication of what is trending, but the display (I’m using the gridbox) is magnificent.
Is there a way to get the ‘seven days’ output working, or better still the ‘one day’ output working so that the plugin works as intended for ‘trending’ posts rather than having to use the ‘all time’ option?
]]>Hi there i loved the plugin i was just wondering if there is a way i can use it normally with recent post and not based on views or comments. Thanks in advance
]]>Hello,
I’m using your trending posts plugin, but this is not trending posts plugin. This is “most popular posts of all time” plugin. Trend means “recently popular”, but this plugin doesn’t have any option to restrict the posts as to show “recently popular”.
I mean, I want to show my posts according to their views in just 7 days, or in today.
For example, I published a post 1 year ago, but I want to show it to my readers, if only it is popular “today” or “this week”.
This plugin only have restriction for publish time, but it means nothing. I believe everybody wants it. Consider adding it, and consider adding “views count” to the widget.
Like, “377 views today” or “377 views this week” or just “377 views” for all time.
This is really critical, because that means “trend”, which is the name of your plugin.
Thanks
]]>Hello,
I am using the plugin for some months and everything worked fine, but now I see that the items (pics & title) are not centered anymore, do not know where the change came from…
“text align: center” does work, but certainly not with the pics…. how can I get back to centered items? Thanks for sharing a solution to all the code idiots! ??

Hi there,
Just installed the plugin and I like the how is displaying the posts. When first installed slider looked fine, but while clicking on the posts to add them to the slider noticed that adds an extra space below and grows with more post showing in the slider. I have it in the template at https://cert.workbooth.info/ but same thing happens when added to a page as https://cert.workbooth.info/prepare-your-system/
Is there a way to prevent this, or is there a conflict with the template?
Any help is appreciated
Thank you
