My Popular Posts Grid Widget has also gone away

    Pretty much the same title title as the other post because my widget also stopped working.

    I got the memo last year already, so in my case I am using the block widget as Gutenberg isn’t the most evil thing in the world….

    Basically, even after successive cache flushing the popular posts in the side bar are now gone, leaving only a small pulsing red line, like it’s trying to loading something. In the past I got the same thing, but cache flushing did help, but not anymore.

    We did have WPP on another site, same story. However, I rolled back and it worked again, but only if not logged in. Weird. But we have since decided we don’t need WPP on that site as most traffic is on mobile so the widget isn’t seen anyway. Show of hands; who scrolls all the way down to the bottom of any web page on mobile? The best place to hide a dead body? the right side bar on mobile…or page 2 of Google search results.

    And then there are plugins that make it very difficult to delete all their data. Anyhow, I will keep playing around, but for now WPP is no longer displaying at all in the right side bar.

    Thanks again for the help! Will mark as ‘resolved’.

    A bit of a follow-up: when you said that the popular posts list doesn’t work on Safari, were you talking about iOS Safari? Because someone else left a comment on my blog reporting the same thing (the list loads everywhere as expected, except on iPhone devices) @sean-h.

    I just added a patch to the plugin that seemingly fixes that problem. Version 7.0.1 should be out sometime soon.

    Both iOS and macOS. However, I have stopped using the plugin. I may try again another time. Thanks all the same!
