Overview
WordPress Popular Posts is a versatile plugin designed to showcase the most popular posts on your blog, offering a range of customizable features to enhance user engagement. With the ability to create multiple popular post lists, users can tailor each list with unique settings and specific time ranges like the last 24 hours or 30 days. The plugin supports custom post types, enabling users to highlight not only blog posts but also other content like popular products. It includes features like thumbnails, a statistics dashboard, and numerous sorting options by comments or views. Users can take advantage of custom themes and advanced caching features for optimal site performance. Additionally, WordPress Popular Posts supports REST API, Disqus comments, Polylang & WPML for translations, and WordPress Multisite. It offers shortcode support and template tags for easy embedding, and even integrates with WP-PostRatings to show readers' ratings.
