Most And Least Read Posts Widget

Provide two widgets, showing lists of the most and reast read posts.

"Most And Least Read Posts Widget" is a free plugin for WordPress, developed by the Whiletrue.it staff to generate lists of the most and least read posts.

The following options are customizable:

  • number of posts to show
  • exclude posts whose title contains certain words
  • show post hits after the title (style customizable via CSS class)
  • exclude posts older than XX days

The plugin starts counting hits once activated, storing them in the "custom_total_hits" custom field without the need of external accounts.

The most popular web crawlers (e.g. Googlebot) are recognized and their hits discarded.

Archived post hits are shown in a column inside the backend post list.

Optionally, the number of hits can be shown inside the post content, with:

  • a custom phrase, e.g. "This post has already been read XX times!"
  • a custom position (above the post, below the post, both)
  • a custom CSS style

If you want to show the post hits anywhere inside the template loop, you can the php function provided, e.g.:

<?php echo most_and_least_read_posts_get_hits(get_the_ID()); ?>
