It’s easy to customize.

Thanks for developer.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/best-free-and-short-code-sestem-plugin-thanks-for-developer/)󠁿 [a30761223arif](https://profiles.wordpress.org/a30761223arif/) February 25, 2023 After trying for 2 days, I didn’t find any plugin for easy and free shortcode system to publish popular posts on my site. Finally I thought if I can’t get any plugin in this system to publish free popular post? I am very happy to finally get this plugin. Although the plugin is publishing popular posts in title form instead of thumbnails, thanks to the developer of the plugin for making it so free. Hopefully the plugin will publish popular posts with thumbnails in the future and continue the service if possible. thank you ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b132c4859137aaeaf741f8f9f0f0b18a3c1baddccf66a04674c84f9c75f756a5? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Good, but need more](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/good-but-need-more-2/)󠁿 [iloveliveuzia](https://profiles.wordpress.org/iloveliveuzia/) March 1, 2017 Hello, plugin is good. But h3 for title is too large, and using h3 is bad.

It is simple, looks good and does what it should….But– In my opinion the “show post before” is setup in a wrong way. I believe this plugin should show “most active” post WITHIN the set time Unfortunately at the moment “ show post before” is simply limiting “POSTING DATE” not the “VIEWS STARTED FROM”. It is very bizarre idea. Usually people want to see the most active posts not posts from last 3 days. Then the plugin should be advertised as simply “most recent post” not “most popular”. At the moment settings: – show 3 posts based on views – all categories selected – show post before 7 days So it will show all posts POSTED within last 7 days. Unfortunately those are not the most active posts based on “view count”. Could you fix this? ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/01262f4c857be6ccdde8b054c20257d8aa638091c69e15cb89470b8b30bd2c54? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Great](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-4262/)󠁿 [xanocebreiro](https://profiles.wordpress.org/xanocebreiro/) September 3, 2016 🙂 [ Read all 8 reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/popular-posts-by-webline/reviews/) ## Contributors & Developers “Popular Posts by Webline” is open source software.
