    Small tweak request.
    If I want to show the most viewed posts in the past week. But I am displaying the number of comments and I think it should really just show the total number of comments. When the user doesn’t know the length of time specified, I think the assumption is that it’s showing the total number of comments on a post.

    Hi there!

    The only way you could achieve this at this time is by hooking into the wpp_post filter to include the total comments count using the get_comments_number() function.

    For example:

    function custom_popular_post( $post_html, $p, $instance ){  
  
    $output = '<li><a href="' . get_the_permalink( $p->id ) . '" class="wpp-post-title" title="' . esc_attr( $p->title ) . '">' . $p->title . '</a> <span class="post-stats">' . get_comments_number( $p->id ) . ' comments so far</span></li>';

    return $output;

}
add_filter( 'wpp_post', 'custom_popular_post', 10, 3 );

    Yep, that needs to be placed either somewhere inside your theme’s functions.php file or in a standalone plugin (if you know how to :P).
