 * use the text which is in BOLD below its not working
 * <?php popular_posts(‘prefix=<div class=”top_reads”><h5>**What’s new**</h5>
    - &suffix=
 * </div>&limit=5&output_template=
    - <div><h6>[{title}](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/code-not-working-1/{url}?output_format=md)
      </h6></div><div class=”clear”></div>
    - &excluded_cats=3,6&no_text=true&age-direction=after&age-length=30&age-duration
      =day’); ?>
    - **and when i replace that text without (‘) it works**
    - <?php popular_posts(‘prefix=<div class=”top_reads”><h5>**Most Read Stories**
      </h5>
 *  - &suffix=
 * </div>&limit=5&output_template=
    - <div><h6>[{title}](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/code-not-working-1/{url}?output_format=md)
      </h6></div><div class=”clear”></div>
    - &excluded_cats=3,6&no_text=true&age-direction=after&age-length=30&age-duration
