   Hi friends,

   I use w3tc and i also use popular posts plugin (http://rmarsh.com/plugins/popular-posts-plugin/) and the following code to print the number of views a post had, just under the post title.

   <?print(" ------ ");?><?php echo popular_posts_views(); ?> <?print("views");?>

   But my problem is that if W3TC is active while i publish a post, i only get "Array Views" instead of "1 views" or "2 views".
   Have a look under this post title - http://www.turnbacktogod.com/peters-declaration-about-jesus/

   So each time before i publish a post, i deactivate W3TC and then publish the post and then activate W3TC.

   Can anyone help me to save this much trouble?

   Thanks,
   Georgy

   There is a way to disable caching of a particular section of a page using MFUNC. Here is how. Replace this code :

   <?php echo popular_posts_views(); ?>

   with this code :

   <?php
   <!-- mfunc -->
   echo popular_posts_views();
   <!-- /mfunc -->
   ?>

   I cannot test this myself. I hope it works.

   I tested with this code; but it gives me only a white screen with this error when i view a post;

   Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in /home/georgy/public_html/wp-content/themes/tiga-06/single.php on line 61

   any syntax problem in the code you gave me to try?

   Hmm... I guess Frederick was wrong when he said to put PHP start and end tags outside of MFUNC. They clearly have to be inside of MFUNC. Try this :

   <!-- mfunc -->
   <?php
   echo popular_posts_views();
   ?>
   <!-- /mfunc -->

   For now W3TC's fragment caching is called before WP is loaded so these kinds of calls will fail.
