* Hi,
* First, I am calling wpp_get_mostpopular, however I would like to format the list
differently. How might I change the HTML? I’ve read about formatting the widget,
but I am not using the those.
* ```
if (function_exists( 'wpp_get_mostpopular' )) {
wpp_get_mostpopular('range=weekly&order_by=views&limit=5&stats_views=0&post_type=post');
```
* Second, how might I have the author name returned?
* Thank you in advance!

* [This](https://github.com/cabrerahector/wordpress-popular-posts/wiki/5.-FAQ#how-can-i-use-my-own-html-markup-with-your-plugin)
should help you get started 🙂

* The `{author}` content tag is what you’re looking for (see _Settings > WordPress
Popular Posts > Paramaters_, bottom of the list).

* Thank you! That was way too obvious.
Your quick response is much appreciated!
