    Hi.

        $amadeus_pp = array (
                        'range' => 'last30days',
                        'order_by' => 'views',
                        'post_type' => 'post',
                        'limit' => 5,
                        'title_length' => 70,
                        'cat' => $blog_category_id,
                        'thumbnail_width' => 50,
                        'thumbnail_height' => 50,
                        'stats_views' => 0,  
                        'post_html' => '<li style="margin-left: 0;">
                                            <div class="ba-pop-post">

                                                <div class="ba-pop-post-image">{thumb}</div>
                                                <div class="ba-pop-post-title">{title}</div>
                                            </div>
                                        </li>',
                        );

    Hi @chathurika0526,

    To display the author, you also need to use the stats_author parameter:

    $amadeus_pp = array (
    // Code removed for brevity
    'stats_views' => 0,
    'stats_author' => 1,
    // Code removed for brevity
);

    Likewise, to display the date you also need to use the stats_date parameter:

    $amadeus_pp = array (
    // Code removed for brevity
    'stats_views' => 0,
    'stats_author' => 1,
    'stats_date' => 1,
    // Code removed for brevity
);

    … and also include it in your code using the {date} content tag:

    $amadeus_pp = array (
    // Code removed for brevity
    'stats_views' => 0,
    'stats_author' => 1,
    'stats_date' => 1,
    'post_html' => '<li style="margin-left: 0;">
                        <div class="ba-pop-post">
                            <div class="ba-pop-post-title">{author}</div>
                            <div class="ba-pop-post-image">{thumb}</div>
                            <div class="ba-pop-post-title">{title}</div>
                            <div>Posted on {date}</div>
                        </div>
                    </li>',
);

    For the description I’m guessing you mean the post excerpt. If so, then the {summary} content tag is what you’re looking for:

    $amadeus_pp = array (
    // Code removed for brevity
    'stats_views' => 0,
    'stats_author' => 1,
    'stats_date' => 1,
    'post_html' => '<li style="margin-left: 0;">
                        <div class="ba-pop-post">
                            <div class="ba-pop-post-title">{author}</div>
                            <div class="ba-pop-post-image">{thumb}</div>
                            <div class="ba-pop-post-title">{title}</div>
                            <div>Posted on {date}</div>
                            <div>{summary}</div>
                        </div>
                    </li>',
);

    Hope that helps.
