Is it possible to show popular posts PUBLISHED in the last30days?

Hi @deviodigital,

Assuming that by “helper function” you mean the wpp_get_mostpopular() function then yes, it’s possible. To limit popular posts to those published within the last 30 days you have access to the freshness parameter (see Settings > WordPress Popular Posts > Parameters):

Parameter: freshness

What it does: Tells WordPress Popular Posts to retrieve the most popular entries published within the time range specified by you

Possible values: 1 (true), 0 (false)

Defaults to: 1 (true), 0 (false)

Here’s an example:

<?php
$args = array(
    'range' => 'last30days',
    'freshness' => 1
);
wpp_get_mostpopular($args);
?>

P.S.: Yeah, I know that the parameter’s name isn’t the most intuitive but I really can’t find a better, memorable alternative that’s not longer than the current name haha. I’m open to suggestions if you have any!

That worked perfectly, thank you!

I don’t know of a better name for it offhand, but if I think of one I’ll pass it along.

Maybe a FAQ for this question could help? Or maybe there is one that I just overlooked? haha

Well, only a handful of people has asked this specific question to be honest (probably need to reword / rephrase the thing as people might not know the feature even exists? haha) but yeah maybe it’s a good idea to write a FAQ about it.
