[Plugin: WordPress Popular Posts] " class=wpp-post-title"

Hi soli004,

The wpp-post-title class has been present since earlier versions of the plugin, I don’t understand your question.

Yes, sorry. I took a quick look and didn’t see what the problem was and just checked it again and know what you meant.

Problem is that you’re using html tags inside some of your posts titles, that’s what is breaking only some of them. My plugin does attempt to remove all HTML tags from titles, but for some reason some of your posts titles still passed a few malformed HTML tags.

I just reuploaded a fix, please download the plugin again in 30 minutes or so (it will still be version 2.3.1) and install it.

If you check at your site’s source code, this is what is being printed at your Photoshop’s post:

<a href="http://www.digitalworkflow.se/adobe-photoshop-cs5/" title="Adobe Photoshop <span class=" caps"="">CS<span class="numbers">5</span>" class="wpp-post-title">Adobe Photoshop <span class="caps">CS<span class="numbers">5</span></span></a>

Problem is that your post title has malformed HTML in it. When inserted into the title attribute, things get broken.

Sure, I will once I get some spare time.

For the time being, and to prevent the bug from showing on your sidebar, do the following:

# Open wordpress-popular-posts.php using a text editor such as Dreamweaver or Notepad.

# Find this piece of code:

$data = array(
    'title' => '<a href="'.$permalink.'" title="'.$title.'">'.$title_sub.'</a>',
    'summary' => $excerpt,
    'stats' => $stats,
    'img' => $thumb,
    'id' => $p->id
);

array_push($posts_data, $data);

// PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER
if ($instance['markup']['custom_html']) { // build custom layout
    if ($instance['markup']['pattern']['active']) {
        $content .= htmlspecialchars_decode($instance['markup']['post-start'], ENT_QUOTES) . htmlspecialchars_decode($this->format_content($instance['markup']['pattern']['form'], $data, $instance['rating'])) . htmlspecialchars_decode($instance['markup']['post-end'], ENT_QUOTES) . "\n";
    } else {
        $content .= htmlspecialchars_decode($instance['markup']['post-start'], ENT_QUOTES) . "{$thumb}<a href=\"{$permalink}\" title=\"{$title}\" class=\"wpp-post-title\">{$title_sub}</a> {$excerpt}{$stats}{$rating}" . htmlspecialchars_decode($instance['markup']['post-end'], ENT_QUOTES) . "\n";
    }
} else { // build regular layout
    $content .= "<li>{$thumb}<a href=\"{$permalink}\" title=\"{$title}\" class=\"wpp-post-title\">{$title_sub}</a> {$excerpt}<span class=\"post-stats\">{$stats}</span>{$rating}</li>" . "\n";
}

# … and replace it with:

$data = array(
    'title' => '<a href="'.$permalink.'">'.$title_sub.'</a>',
    'summary' => $excerpt,
    'stats' => $stats,
    'img' => $thumb,
    'id' => $p->id
);

array_push($posts_data, $data);

// PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER
if ($instance['markup']['custom_html']) { // build custom layout
    if ($instance['markup']['pattern']['active']) {
        $content .= htmlspecialchars_decode($instance['markup']['post-start'], ENT_QUOTES) . htmlspecialchars_decode($this->format_content($instance['markup']['pattern']['form'], $data, $instance['rating'])) . htmlspecialchars_decode($instance['markup']['post-end'], ENT_QUOTES) . "\n";
    } else {
        $content .= htmlspecialchars_decode($instance['markup']['post-start'], ENT_QUOTES) . "{$thumb}<a href=\"{$permalink}\" class=\"wpp-post-title\">{$title_sub}</a> {$excerpt}{$stats}{$rating}" . htmlspecialchars_decode($instance['markup']['post-end'], ENT_QUOTES) . "\n";
    }
} else { // build regular layout
    $content .= "<li>{$thumb}<a href=\"{$permalink}\" class=\"wpp-post-title\">{$title_sub}</a> {$excerpt}<span class=\"post-stats\">{$stats}</span>{$rating}</li>" . "\n";
}
