An easy to use WordPress function to add popular posts to any WordPress theme.
<?php thisismyurl_easy_popular_posts(); ?>
Include the shortcode [thisismyurl_easy_popular_posts] in any post or page.
On your Widgets page, simply drag and drop the widget to your sidebar!
=General results= Without passing any parameters, the plugin will return ten results or fewer depending on how many posts you have.
<?php thisismyurl_easy_popular_posts(); ?>
=Specific number of results= If you would like to return a specific number of results as your maximum:
<?php thisismyurl_easy_popular_posts('count=10'); ?>
=Altering the before and after values=< By default the plugin wraps your code in list item (<li>) tags but you can specify how to format the results using the following code:
<?php thisismyurl_easy_popular_posts('before=<p>&after=</p>'); ?>
=The Order=< You can now change the order of the results using ASC, DESC or RAND to return the results in ascending, descending or random order.
<?php thisismyurl_easy_popular_posts('order=ASC'); ?>
=Echo vs. Return= Finally, if you'd like to copy the results into a variable you can return the results as follows:
<?php thisismyurl_easy_popular_posts('show=false'); ?>
=Combining Arguements=
If you'd like to call multiple arguments you can do so by separating them with a & symbol:
<?php thisismyurl_easy_popular_posts('show=false&order=ASC'); ?>
