 * Hi,
 * I chose to display the thumbnail at Widgets portion but the “No Thumbnail” image
   appears. It seems that it is not getting the Featured Image using WordPress version
   4.7.1. I tried to install it on both my localhost but same problem happened.
 * Any help is appreciated.
 * Thanks

 * Hi Christian!
 * Please go to _Settings > WordPress Popular Posts > Tools_ and check under _Thumbnails_
   that _Pick image from_ is set to _Featured image_. If you did that already, then:
    - Make sure you have [assigned a featured image](https://codex.wordpress.org/Post_Thumbnails#Setting_a_Post_Thumbnail)
      to each of your popular posts.
    - If you’re using a caching plugin on your site, you might need to clear its
      cache and also you’ll need to enable the Ajaxify widget option (see _Settings
      > WordPress Popular Posts > Tools_ under _Data_) to prevent WPP from being
      cached.

 * Hi, when I activate Ajaxify, it shows me this:
 * Error: cannot ajaxify WordPress Popular Posts on this theme. It’s missing the
   id attribute on before_widget (see register_sidebar for more).
 * How can I solve this?
 * Is there an easy way to add your widget below post content without using another
   plugin like After Content Widget?

 * Please ask your theme developer to add the _id_ attribute to _before\_widget_
   as shown [here](https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/register_sidebar).
 * About your second question, I already replied to the other topic you opened.
 * **P.S.:** What you commented here is completely unrelated to OP’s original question.
   Please consider opening your own topic next time if you can’t find one related/
   similar to your issues/questions you may have with/about the plugin.
