Top posts filtered by category

Sorry, but it doesn’t work!

There are a workaround?

I’m using this shortcode: [tptn_list exclude_categories=”21,13,1,10″]
[/tptn_list]

Cache is disabled by default in Top10 settings.

Am i doing something wrong?

That shortcode list top 5 posts from all categories… same listed in “view popular posts”. That shortcode don’t filter top posts…

Until now, site development were made in intranet server, but in a while we can migrate to a “internet” server. Maybe in that moment, you can see that shortcode outputs!

Hi,

yes i already tried to put excluded categories in settings page, and it works perfectly!! But in shortcode it didn’t work!!

Thanks for your support.

Hi,

what an excellent tool!! With Query monitor i can see 2 tptn wuerryb callers:

get_tptn_pop_posts
SELECT DISTINCT ID, postnumber, cntaccess as sumCount
FROM wpm_top_ten
INNER JOIN wpm_posts
ON postnumber=ID
WHERE 1=1
AND blog_id = 1
AND wpm_posts.post_status = ‘publish’
AND wpm_posts.post_type IN (‘post’)
ORDER BY sumCount DESC
LIMIT 25

and

tptn_exclude_post_ids
SELECT post_id, meta_value
FROM wpm_postmeta
WHERE meta_key = ‘tptn_post_meta’

A simple note: wpm_ is my wordpress table prefix, it’s not a strange thing!!

I tried, but i didn’t see, with Query monitor, the output of that select queries.

So, you need more information?

No

I now know what it was wrong!!

I have assumed that child categories have some relationship with parent categories, and when i wrote a parent category id in exclude categories it exclude all child categories… But that is wrong!

I now wrote ALL categories in exclude categories list and all works fine!

Sorry for your time and work whit this (my fault) issue.
