Recently Popular – Recently Messed Up
As many of you probably found out (quite painfully), the Recently Popular WordPress plugin has had some issue of late. I took some much-needed time tonight and ironed the wrinkles and released 0.4.8.3, which fixes many bugs that have been impacting people. There was a brief stretch on 7-13-2009 that a 0.4.8.2 release was listed as the stable release. That release was non-compiling. My appologies if you wound up with a copy of that.
I spent a bit more time on it tonight and have version 0.5 committed into the trunk. In the limited testing I’ve been able to do tonight it appears to solve all the current issues the plugin has, including multiplying hits by the number of categories a post is in. If some of you would be so kind as to download, install, and test trunk I would appreciate it.
You can download trunk from here.
Hi Eric, is there any way you could make this plugin MU compatible (at least I think it’s not, the widget doesn’t show up)?
So in order to output the most popular stuff from all blogs?
I’ve installed the 0.5 trunk and have using it non-widget-style, like so:
But I get no output.
Sorry, comment form stripped my code. :facepalm:
get_recently_popular(30, DAYS, 10, 0, 2)
I use Recently Popular version version 0.4.8.3 (but i tried also version 0.5) on linuxundich.de… It worked until a few days ago, but now the list is emtpy “get_recently_popular(1, ‘DAY’, 5, 1, 2);” gives no result.
@Christoph:
We haven’t released any updates in a while, so it must be something else you installed or changed. If you have access to your Apache logs you can check those and see if they give you any clues. With more information I’ll do what I can to help.
I would recommend you stick to the 0.5 version, however.
Hey,
I’ve been using your plugin since three days and I found a bug:
When you change settings to:

and you click save you can no longer choose Count views no older than:
http://bieganie.mauser.com.pl/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Recently_Popular_bug_screen_two.JPG
It could be caused by my non standard result formatting. System: Win XP, Firefox 3.5.5
Anyways great plugin :)
Sorry.

Hi Eric
I installed your plugin today and noticed Firefox prefetch was causing extra post hits. Theres a full explanation here: http://measurablewins.blogspot.com/2009/12/x-moz-prefetch-and-skewed-page-hits.html
It would be great if the next version could ignore requests where the “X-Moz: prefetch” header is passed.
There seems to be a bug (latest plugin/WP 2.9.1) whereby clicking ‘Save’ on the widget settings on WP’s widget admin page causes all of the options to re-render in a messed-up way (via AJAX). I can’t change the options again without reloading the entire WP widgets page.
