Most And Least Read Posts Widget

"Most And Least Read Posts Widget" is a free plugin for Wordpress. developed by Giuliano Polverari (WhileTrue.it) to generate lists of the most and least read posts. The following options are customizable:

• number of posts to show
• exclude posts whose title contains certain words
• show post hits after the title (style customizable via CSS class)
• exclude posts older than XX days

The plugin starts counting hits once activated, storing them in the "custom_total_hits" custom field without the need of external accounts. The most popular web crawlers (e.g. Googlebot) are recognized and their hits discarded; also Admin hits are discarded. Archived post hits are shown in a column inside the backend post list. The plugin is compatible with multi-language WPML plugin, showing most/least read posts for current language. Optionally, the number of hits can be shown inside the post content, with:

• a custom phrase, e.g. "This post has already been read XX times!"
• a custom position (above the post, below the post, both)
• a custom CSS style

If you want to show the post hits anywhere inside the template loop, you can the PHP function provided, e.g.: echo most_and_least_read_posts_get_hits(get_the_ID()); 代码 Also, [most_read_posts] a shortcode is available. Use it like this: [most_read_posts type="most" posts_number="5" show_thumbs="false" date_from="2016-01-01" date_to="2016-04-30"] Shortcode attributes:

• type: "most" or "least"
• posts_number
• words_excluded
• title_max_chars
• excerpt_max_chars
• show_thumbs: "true" or "false"
• add_line_break_before_thumbs: "true" or "false"
• show_hits: "true" or "false"
• show_hits_text (default: "views")
• days_ago
• date_from and date_to: if set, overwrite the "days_ago" attribute (format: YYYY-MM-DD)
