Unable to display date and featured image

Hi @taymi,

Any idea on how to display the featured image of a post?

Just tested your code as is -without any modifications whatsoever- and it displayed thumbnails just fine (except for one post because it doesn’t have a featured image assigned to it).

It might be a good idea to check these FAQs to figure out why WPP is not displaying thumbnails on your website:

• How does WordPress Popular Posts pick my posts’ thumbnails?
• I’m seeing a “No thumbnail” image, where’s my post thumbnail?

I am not able to display date (day and month) also.

To display the date you also need to use the stats_date parameter. Right now it’s missing from your code. This is mentioned on the Content Tags documentation:

{date}: returns post/page date, requires stats_date to be 1

So:

if (function_exists('wpp_get_mostpopular')) {
    wpp_get_mostpopular(array(
        'limit' => 4,
        'range' => 'last7days',
        'order_by' => 'views',
        'stats_date' => 1, // <== Added by me
        'wpp_start' => '',
        'wpp_end' =>'',
        'thumbnail_width' => 50,
        'thumbnail_height' => 50,
        'post_html' => '
        <div class="card card-body bg-light shadow-sm border-0 mb-5">
            <div class="row">
                <div class="col-4 col-md-5 col-lg-5 pe-lg-0 pos-rel">
                    {thumb_img}
                    <div class="date-box tx-14 tx-gray text-center content-pos">
                        <span class="fw-bold">{date}</span>
                    </div>
                </div>
                <div class="col-8 col-md-7">
                    <p class="tx-24 fw-bold mb-1 col-lg-9 blogpost-tx">{text_title}</p>
                    <div class="pt-4 pt-md-5">
                        <a href="{url}" class="fw-bold tx-24"> More Info
                        <img src="'.get_template_directory_uri().'/assets/img/icons/arrow-right.svg" alt="" srcset="" class="ms-5">
                        </a>
                    </div>
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>'
    ));
}

To set the date format you can use the stats_date_format parameter (see Parameters for more details).

If you have any other questions please don’t hesitate to ask.

Thank you for the response @hcabrera

I have been able to fix the date and yes.. I saw how the thumbnail works. Unfortunately, it does not still work for me. I have also tried {thumb_url} inside an tag. Settings looks fine and told to pick up from Featured Image, after all these, placeholder is still displayed.

That’s odd. Alright, please try following the troubleshooting instructions and report back your findings.
