PopTrends Widget – Popular, Trending, Rating Lists

PopTrends Lists Your Popular, Trending, Most Loved and Highest Rated Posts in a Tabbed Widget

Install & activate PopTrends, and we’ll start counting how many times your posts and other custom post types are read. We’ll also keep track of whether or not some of your posts suddenly gets high traffic.. this means that those posts will become trending.

We’ll also add heart buttons and 5-star rating buttons to your posts and custom post types, so that your visitors can vote on them. These are configurable, you can opt to display those buttons on the top of your posts, on the bottom of your posts, or both. You can also opt to not display them and just place them yourself within your content or child theme via our [poptrends_heart] and [poptrends_rate] shortcodes.

These are all listed in our documentation

Customizable. You are in charge of what you want to display, choose to show only popular and most loved tabs. Choose to display a dropdown box for date ranges. Choose to display popular blog posts, or any other custom post type that you have (e.g. portfolio). Choose from 3 styles with configurable colors, or easily style the widget to your liking.

Speed is important to us, so we’ve included transient caching into the plugin. Generating PopTrends lists can be quite computation intensive, especially if you have a large website with a lot of content. You can be confident that using PopTrends will not compromise your site’s loading time, you can configure the plugin to cache daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, and for all-time lists for different times e.g. cache the list generation for 1 minute, 10 minutes, 1 hour, 3 hours, daily, etc.
