Popularity Contest Plugin

    I’ve installed the popularity contest plugin on my site https://www.swollenpickles.com and inserted the following code in a text field in the side bar widget, but it’s not turning up any results. Am I doing something wrong? Here’s the code I used:

    <?php if (!is_archive() && !is_category()) { ?>

      <?php akpc_most_popular(); ?>

    <?php } ?>

    There is a widget that works with Alex’s plugin

    You might want to try that.

    Cheers, thanks for that. Saves me messing up my sidebar!

    For some reason I keep getting double entries but only on the home page. If I’m viewing the individual post it works fine. I’ve only got the code in once so I’m really perplexed.

    It’s a good idea to do the following:

    1. deactivate all other plugins
    2. activate a copy of the default theme
    3. enable the plugin with the default theme, adding in any template tags you wish

    If the plugin works properly on the default theme with no other plugins enabled, then it is likely mis-behaving on your site due to a conflict with your theme or other plugins you have enabled.

    I had the same problem: No results in the sidebar, but in the admin section everything is ok and the results are shown. In the sidebar the result is (none).

    So i tested it the way Alex described: deactivated the plugins and changed to the default theme. Now it works, obviously the ‘adhesive plugin’ doesn’t like the ‘popularity contest plugin’ (which I like more, so I search now for an alternative to adhesive).

    But now another problem appears: Some of the posts appear two times on the list. So I checked the ak_popularity, but there every post_id exists only one time. How can I solve the problem with the double posts?

    I found that the Sideblog plugin was the problem with double and triple entries on my front page. Once i disabled it, I got 10 unique entries on my front page. I went through one by one of my plugins to see which was the problem.
