 * Hi there,
 * I’m assuming you wish to display this information somewhere else on your theme
   than the sidebar since you didn’t give much information. If so, please check 
   the [template tags](https://github.com/cabrerahector/wordpress-popular-posts/wiki/2.-Template-tags)
   section for more.

 * Hi,
 * In your widget you display total comments in the time frame eg last week
    I want
   the total comments for all of time, even if the popular posts is weekly

 * Ah, what you’re asking isn’t possible with the default HTML output. You would
   need to build your own HTML list for that. Use the [get_comments_number](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/get_comments_number)
   template tag in conjunction with [WPP’s filters](https://github.com/cabrerahector/wordpress-popular-posts/wiki/Filters)
   to list the most popular posts from last week and display the total comment count(
   here’s a [sample code](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-taxonomy-terms-in-widget?replies=10#post-5706184)
   that should get you started, but it requires some programming knowledge).
