   HI,
   2 quick questions.

   1. Is it possible to omit certain posts from being registered by WP Popular Posts?

   2. I need to update the plugin manually. Will i loose the accumulated data on the posts popularity?

   thanks a lot!

   Hi jimjamming,

   1. You'd need to hack my plugin to do that, but yes it is possible. For pages that WPP has not registered yet:

   # Find the function update_mostpopular (line 284 on wordpress-popular-posts.php)

   # Below "$postid = $wp_query->post->ID; // get post ID" (line 289), add this code:

   $exclude = array(1,2,3); // the id's of the posts you wish to exclude (separated by comma)
   if (in_array($postid, $exclude)) return $content;

   For pages that WPP has already registered, but that you want to exclude from the listing:

   # Find "$mostpopular = $wpdb->get_results" (line 162)

   # Right after $nopages, add " AND $wpdb->posts.ID NOT IN(1,2,3) " (without quotes).

   2. No, you won't lose any data so don't worry.

   Along the same lines as question 1, is there a way to have this ignore certain post categories?

   That'd require a more complex sql query, onedeep. I'll try a few different ideas and get back to you once I get a solution that won't require an extensive use of the database.
