There are approx 12 plugins with modifications on my site. Each time the theme was updated (approx one per month on average), I am forced to manually re-insert code into the plugins.
Therefore I decided to install a child theme to save the hassle of these manual updates every few weeks. The biggest problem is that each plugin modification is different, and it becomes a challenge to remember what to insert into each plugin.
The child theme is already working well for the style.css modifications, but for some reason the single.php file in the child folder doesn’t seem to work.
Please advise.
I’m sorry, this is definitely outside the scope of this plugin. I’m not sure why it’s not working for you. If you place a file, ‘single.php’ within your child theme folder, it should override the parent theme’s ‘single.php.’ You may need to start a new general support thread, or file a support request with your theme provider.
I love this. I had been using WordPress Popular posts but it was putting a huge strain on our server, especially during high traffic periods. This way there’s no redundant counting going on and more accurate stats.
I do need the view count visible in the widget. Our authors love being able to easily see their readership numbers. The list is much less useful without that feature. Any tips for hacking this in before I got at it myself?
thanks,
Matthew
Nevermind. I somehow missed the solution you posted my first time through! Wonderful, thanks. Would be great if this was a built-in option. Man I never would have found that value on my own. 🙂
Justin the filter you suggested seems to no longer work for adding a view counter in the newest version of the plugin (WP 3.6). Could you point us to what needs to change?
Thanks,
Matthew
Got it working now. Strange. I think my problem has something to do with the plugin organizer plugin.
Ok. Since you bumped both threads, please update the other thread as well.
I was expecting posts but it is giving me tag/* in popular posts. Is there a way to filter so that only posts are displayed?
Thanks
