wpp_get_mostpopular()template tag. Additionally, thewpp_get_views()template tag allows you to retrieve the views count for a particular post. For usage and instructions, please refer to the Installation section. - Localization – Translate WPP into your own language.

PSA: do not use the classic WordPress Popular Posts widget with the new Widgets screen!
The classic WordPress Popular Posts widget doesn’t work very well / at all with the new Widgets screen introduced with WordPress 5.8.
This new Widgets screen expects WordPress blocks instead of regular WordPress widgets. If you’re using the WordPress Popular Posts widget on your block-based Widgets screen please consider replacing it with the WordPress Popular Posts block instead – it has the same features as the “classic” widget and will likely end up replacing it entirely in the future.
Bjorn from wplearninglab.com was kind enough to create a video explaining how to use the new block for all of you visual learners:
If for some reason you prefer using the “classic” WordPress Popular Posts widget with WordPress 5.8 and beyond please install the Classic Widgets plugin.

To speed up the plugin on my site.
Ajaxify widget: Disabled
Data Caching: Never Cache
Turn on the HTML option hidden in the actual widget area. And now you can customize stuff.
Make sure Hummingbird Optimizer is off so you can see the updates properly.

Here are Some Suggestion:-
If you use the resource of server to count the post views, why not provide an option to show post views in post or page list in dashboard.
We know there are many other plugin to do this, but if i don't want to use any other plugin, because you can understand well, more plugin more space and server resources. So please if it is possible to provide a button to display post and page views in WP dashboard.
Thanks "Hector Cabrera" for providing so powerful and optimized plugin.

This plugin delivers as it says. It's both easy to use, and easy to extend on the backend if that suits you as well.

It's been a while since I used this plugin, but to sort out the 'trending posts' on your website, there's nothing to touch it.
It's also given me a lot more work to do, as viewing those older trending posts, there are some errors in video downloads that I would never have noticed unless something like this plugin pointed me towards them.
Thanks for both the plugin, and for the forced post and page evergreen schedule!
