Most Popular Posts is a basic widget for your sidebar that creates a list of links to the top posts on your blog according to the number of comments on the post. You can customize the widget title, number of links to show and whether or not you want to display the comment count.

New to this version, you can also select single categories to exclude or limit the final selection. This is particularly handy for organizing the popular posts you want to show.

For a complete list of the changes from each version, please visit the plugin homepage.

For examples and tips on using the plugin, please check the examples on the plugin homepage.

Usage

Use as either a widget with the standard installation procedure, or use the function itself in a post by adding <?php most_popular(); ?> to your template. You may need to update the "nested list" option in the control panel.
