Exclude current post/displaying post?

You can try the manual install in the FAQ
https://wordpress.org/plugins/top-10/faq/

Regarding excluding the most recent post, I think there might be a solution you can try, but it isn’t tested and I’m not sure if this will work, so please backup before editing files.

$args = array( 'numberposts' => '1' );
$recent_posts = wp_get_recent_posts( $args );

foreach( $recent_posts as $recent ){
$exclude_post_ids = $recent["ID"];
}

echo tptn_pop_posts( 'daily=1&is_widget=1&exclude_post_ids='.$exclude_post_ids );

Thanks for the compliment about my plugin. Do consider leaving a good review 🙂

Yes, in the footer maybe. Wherever you want the code to display

Sorry, yes, you’ll need to wrap it in php tags. Are you sure loop.php is the right place? It’s dependent from theme to theme, but ideally you’ll need to put this outside the Loop part of loop.php

<?php
$args = array( 'numberposts' => '1' );
$recent_posts = wp_get_recent_posts( $args );

foreach( $recent_posts as $recent ){
$exclude_post_ids = $recent["ID"];
}

echo tptn_pop_posts( 'daily=1&is_widget=1&exclude_post_ids='.$exclude_post_ids );

?>

The code above should ideally do that. Did you have a chance to look at it.

I’ve tried to fetch the latest post and then feed it as an exclusion. I can’t confirm if this is going to work 100% for sure.

That sounds great. If you want the header to come back edit to code above. Change this line:

echo tptn_pop_posts( 'daily=1&is_widget=0&exclude_post_ids='.$exclude_post_ids );

So, if I understand correctly, if your most recent catches up to be on the top 3, it shows up in the Week’s Hottest?
