Hi!

But I like to show this data with out the widget. And also like to get the title and images in my order.. I am doing it like this now:

<ul id="featured-post">
					<?php $pc = new WP_Query('order_by=views&posts_per_page=5'); ?>

					<?php while ($pc->have_posts()) : $pc->the_post(); ?>
					<li>
						<div><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php the_post_thumbnail(array()); ?></a></div>
						<h4>

<?php
$current_post_categories = get_the_category(); // store category objects for current post in an array
foreach( $current_post_categories as $category) {

   echo '<a href="'.get_option('home').'/category/'.$category->cat_name.'">'.$category->cat_name.'</a>';

}
?>

</h4>
						<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2><h3><?php echo excerpt(15); ?></h3> <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>">läs mer</a>

Hi Erick,

Please check both FAQ and Installation sections, there you’ll find info on alternatives to the widget version of the plugin.

Hi Héctor!

Yes I have looked at them. But they do not show how to make it in a loop with this elements:
```
<?php the_post_thumbnail(array()); ?>
<?php the_title(); ?>
and more
```
so I can make the listing in the way I like. I can’t find an example of this anywhere.

Thanks!

I’m sorry, I don’t understand. Can you elaborate more, please? What exactly do you want to do?

Sorry about my english 🙂 Will try to make it more clear.

To list post in wordpress, wordpress has an php loop. I like to do this with this plugin. So I can build the contant exacly as I like. It will make so I got more control over the content.

Best regards,
Erik

I see. Well, there’s an option for that too 😉 You can customize the HTML structure by using the wpp_start, wpp_end, post_start and post_end parameters with the wpp_get_mostpopular() template tag. You can find more info about these (and other parameters) on your wp-admin > Settings > WordPress Popular Posts > FAQ page.

Great! Thanks!

Just one more question. I am just a PHP beginner, can you show how this loop look like. Sorry for this, but it would help me super much!

No problem, here’s an example:
```
<?php

if ( function_exists('wpp_get_mostpopular') ) {
  wpp_get_mostpopular( 'wpp_start=<ol>&wpp_end=</ol>&post_start=<li>&post_end=</li>&do_pattern=1&pattern_form="{thumb} {title} - {stats}"' );
}

?>
```

Thanks!

We are almost there 🙂

where it says "{thumb} {title} - {stats}"

is it possible to make it more changeable?

I am making an RSS feed with the most popular post in a week. And I like to be able to have other tags then the ones find in {title} and so on. So it would be great to beable to use standard wordpress calles for title, tumbnail, content and so on. like this:
```
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php the_post_thumbnail(array()); ?></a>
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
<?php echo excerpt(15); ?>
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>">read more</a>
```
I am crossing my fingers that this is possible. It would be great it mean I can make the RSS feed and a widget style just the why I like it to look and work.

Best regards,
Erik

At the moment, no. However, I’m planning to modify the custom HTML feature for more flexibility – it might be included in the next release or the one after.

oh no.. Ok it would be a great addition to the plugin.
Really hopping for this update as soon as possible.
