Title: Customize Top Posts Widget Last modified: September 19, 2019 --- # Customize Top Posts Widget * Resolved [SantaCruze](https://wordpress.org/support/users/santacruze/) * (@santacruze) * [6 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/customize-top-posts-widget/) * Heya there, * I started to use Slimstat yesterday on two of my Blogs. Configuration and Setup was no problem at all, nice work. * I do have a problem with the Sidebar Widget. I want to Show the Top Blogposts per day. I used the “Top Article” Widget with this Shortcode: * [slimstat f=’top’ w=’resource’ lc=’post_link’]content_type equals post&&&limit_results equals 5 [/slimstat] * Ive two problems with it which iam not able to figure out. First it still shows me the % of Hits. I would like to remove that. Also i cant figure out how to link the output to the Posts itself. I thought that ‘post_link’ would do the trick but its not working. * Sincerely * Stefan Viewing 7 replies - 1 through 7 (of 7 total) * Plugin Contributor [Jason Crouse](https://wordpress.org/support/users/coolmann/) * (@coolmann) * [6 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/customize-top-posts-widget/#post-11950190) * Hi, why not use the built-in Slimstat Widget, instead of the shortcode? If you prefer the shortcode, please take a look at our knowledge base: * [https://slimstat.freshdesk.com/a/solutions/articles/5000631833](https://slimstat.freshdesk.com/a/solutions/articles/5000631833) * In your case, you would have * [slimstat f=’top’ w=’post_link_no_qs’]content_type equals post&&&strtotime equals today&&&limit_results equals 5[/slimstat] * Notice: - post_link_no_qs will omit the query string from the post URLs - strtotime will retrieve only pageviews for the current day (based on your local WP’s date and time settings) - the ‘lc’ parameter was deprecated A LONG time ago * I hope this helps, Jason * Thread Starter [SantaCruze](https://wordpress.org/support/users/santacruze/) * (@santacruze) * [6 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/customize-top-posts-widget/#post-11950492) * Hey Jason, * Thanks for the Support. Yeah i got that code from some other Forum Posts which i tried first. I also tried the build-in Widget. But the “Top Article” Widget didnt Linked to the Postings and i couldnt remove the % Info. * I will try your new code tomorrow. * Sincerely Stefan * PS: Is there also a Syntax for Week / Weekly? In the Shortcode FAQ its just splitted in day and month. - This reply was modified 6 years, 7 months ago by [SantaCruze](https://wordpress.org/support/users/santacruze/). - This reply was modified 6 years, 7 months ago by [SantaCruze](https://wordpress.org/support/users/santacruze/). * Plugin Contributor [Jason Crouse](https://wordpress.org/support/users/coolmann/) * (@coolmann) * [6 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/customize-top-posts-widget/#post-11950522) * Hi, you can hide the % info by adding a few lines to your CSS. Could you please elaborate on what you mean by “weekly”? Past week? * Thread Starter [SantaCruze](https://wordpress.org/support/users/santacruze/) * (@santacruze) * [6 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/customize-top-posts-widget/#post-11951404) * Hey Jason, * Under the Topic “Special Filters” are listed day, month, year. I think thats for the time range if iam correct. There is “week” missing for showing like a 7 day range. Or is it supposed to be that way? * Sincerely Stefan * Plugin Contributor [Jason Crouse](https://wordpress.org/support/users/coolmann/) * (@coolmann) * [6 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/customize-top-posts-widget/#post-11952606) * Hi Stefan, * the way date filters work in Slimstat is by setting a start date (day/month/year) and an interval (plus/minus X days/hours) to set a time range. So, if you want to see today’s pageviews, you would set today’s date (that’s what strtotime does for you, in the shortcode) and no interval (default = 1). If you want to see the past seven days’ worth of data, you would set today’s date (via strtotime), and interval = -7. I hope this makes sense: * `[slimstat f='top' w='post_link_no_qs']content_type equals post&&&strtotime equals today&&&interval equals -7&&&limit_results equals 5[/slimstat]` * Jason - This reply was modified 6 years, 7 months ago by [Jason Crouse](https://wordpress.org/support/users/coolmann/). * Thread Starter [SantaCruze](https://wordpress.org/support/users/santacruze/) * (@santacruze) * [6 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/customize-top-posts-widget/#post-11958127) * Hey Jason, * Sorry for the late reply.
