    Hello Héctor,

    I love the features of this plugin. You’ve done a great job providing multiple options for configuring Most Popular posts, but I do have a problem.

    I am trying to add the template tags into my theme, but I keep getting, “Sorry. No data so far.”

    An example of code that I am using is:

    <?php if (function_exists('wpp_get_mostpopular')) wpp_get_mostpopular("header=Crafts&limit=5&range=monthly&order_by=views&post_type=craft&thumbnail_width=30&thumbnail_height=30"); ?>

    Most Popular posts are rendering correctly via the widget, but I require the use of template tags.

    Am I using the wrong code? I checked, checked and re-checked, but I don’t notice any errors in the above template tag.

    Please help,

    Clyde

    Hi Clyde,

    Just tested your exact same code and it seems to be working fine here. Please open wordpress-popular-posts.php and change this line of code:

    jQuery.post('<?php echo admin_url('admin-ajax.php'); ?>', {action: 'wpp_update', token: '<?php echo $nonce; ?>', id: <?php echo $id; ?>}, function(data){/*alert(data);*/});

    … into:

    jQuery.post('<?php echo admin_url('admin-ajax.php'); ?>', {action: 'wpp_update', token: '<?php echo $nonce; ?>', id: <?php echo $id; ?>}, function(data){ alert(data); });

    … and save changes.

    Let me know what happens, then undo the change.

    Wow, thanks for the quick response Héctor. I made the change, but I am still receiving the, “Sorry. No data so far.” error.

    Thank you again for help with this,

    That code I posted it’s supposed to show an alert, did it show? If so, what did it say?

    Hello Héctor,

    I added the code you’ve provide, but I didn’t see any errors.

    Héctor,

    I think I may have resolved my issue. I have been using a PHP code widget (Linkable Title Html and Php Widget by PepLamb) and added the template tags there.

    They did not render properly, but when I added the template tags directly to the sidebar.php file, I saw content being rendered.

    It may take a bit more work on my part to work as I require, so I think it may be an issue with how the PHP code widget renders PHP template tags.

    Thank you for you help and quick responses Héctor.

    Regards,

    Clyde

    Oh, I see. I forgot about that one. Long ago, other people reported this issue as well. I need to put this warning on the FAQ section.

    Thanks for letting me know!
