Top 10 – A Page Counter and Popular Posts plugin for WordPress

Overview:

WordPress doesn’t count page views by default. Top 10 will count the number of page views on your single posts on a daily as well as overall basis. You can then display the page view count on individual posts and pages as well as display a list of most popular posts based on page views.

Includes a sidebar widget to display the popular posts. And, all settings can be configured from within your WordPress Admin area itself! You can choose to disable tracking of author visits on their own posts.

Features:

  • Counts daily and total page views on single posts and pages
  • Display the count on the single posts and pages
  • Customize the text that can be displayed
  • Display a list of daily and/or overall popular posts by page count. The number can be customized.
  • Sidebar widgets available for daily popular and overall popular posts.
  • View list of daily and/or overall popular posts from within the dashboard itself
  • Clean uninstall if you choose to delete the plugin from within WP-Admin
  • Works with caching plugins like WP-Super-Cache
  • Supports post thumbnail images

Requirements:

Installing

  1. Download Top 10.
  2. Extract the contents of top-10.zip to wp-content/plugins/ folder. You should get a folder called top-10.
  3. Activate the Plugin in WP-Admin.
  4. Goto Options > Top 10 to configure.
  5. Goto Appearance > Widgets to add the Daily Popular / Popular Posts sidebar widget to your theme

Options

Below is the options screen as you would see it when you activate the plugin.

Top 10 default options

You can customize how the count is displayed. Use %totalcount% to display the total count and %dailycount% to display the daily count.

Enable / disable display of post count in content on single posts and pages. If you don’t enable the first option, then you will need to add <?php if(function_exists('echo_tptn_post_count')) echo_tptn_post_count(); ?>.

In order to display the most popular posts, you will need to add <?php if(function_exists('tptn_show_pop_posts')) tptn_show_pop_posts(); ?>.

In order to display the most popular posts, you will need to add <?php if(function_exists('tptn_show_daily_pop_posts')) tptn_show_daily_pop_posts(); ?>.

Alternatively, use the sidebar widgets to display the overall or daily top posts.

By default the plugin adds a link back to this page in your popular posts lists. You can choose to uncheck that above. However, it would be great if you could give me some linky love.

    Why does it say “Test:” before the count info? Can we turn that off or change it?

    • Ajay / Jan 31 2009

      Thanks for letting me know. The Please download the plugin again. I’ve fixed the same.

  2. Fred / Jan 31 2009

    The documentation does not explain how to display the list of the top 10 posts, just the count for the current post or page.

    • Ajay / Jan 31 2009

      @Fred,

      Updated the post with instructions for this.

  3. Alan Nguyen / Jan 31 2009

    you should add the function that prevents counting the admin’s visit as well :D

    • Ajay / Jan 31 2009

      @Alan, That’s a good idea. I’ll work on this.

  4. George Serradinho / Jan 31 2009

    Thanks for the plugin

  5. Fred / Feb 1 2009

    Thanks for the info I requested in #3. Now here’s a suggestion: number_format the counters. I am converting to top-10 from another page counter and I have over 200K hits on many pages. I changed the relevant line in top-10.php to:

    $cntaccess = number_format((($resultscount) ? $resultscount->cntaccess : 0), 0, ‘.’, ‘,’);

    Others may want to do the same.

    • Ajay / Feb 1 2009

      That’s a great idea Fred. I’ll implement this into the next version!

  6. Kristof / Feb 1 2009

    I will download :) But I won’t use it before you have a widget! That should be a top priority ;)

    • Ajay / Feb 1 2009

      Yes. That is a top priority on my list as well. What use is a popular posts plugin if you can’t display them!

  7. Dean Saliba / Feb 2 2009

    If I uninstall the plugin and then reinstall it will it start from scratch?

    I’m looking for a plugin that will provide me with a list of the most popular posts but will allow me to reset it every month.

    • Ajay / Feb 2 2009

      You need to deactivate, and delete the plugin from WP-Admin > Plugins.

      However, this is a lengthy process and if you are looking for most popular posts by month, this isn’t the best plugin for the job.

  8. Mauro / Feb 7 2009

    Can you hide from top post the start page?

    Thank you.

  9. Mauro / Feb 7 2009

    To clarify, the start page is “the static front page”.

    • Ajay / Feb 7 2009

      As of no. You want to include the start page from the count / showing up in the top posts right?

  10. Raven / Feb 12 2009

    Is it possible to also display the number of posts for the actual day. Something like: 300 views of which 20 today

    Thanks for a great plugin!

    • Ajay / Feb 12 2009

      I’m working on that currently. It may not be the very next version, but one soon.

  11. gary / Feb 13 2009

    hi I was previously using Mark Gosh’s Top Ten. If I start using yours it’ll negate all the hits my site had accumulated until the previous plugin stopped working.

    Anyway to get your Top Ten to work with the old Top Ten?

    many thanks

    • Ajay / Feb 13 2009

      All you need to do is change the name of the table using phpmyadmin to wp_top_ten, assuming that your prefix is wp_ (this is the default that comes with WP. Check wp-config.php)

      • gary / Feb 14 2009

        thanks so much Ajay. That did the trick.

  12. acidtrip / Feb 16 2009

    I’m glad to say that this plugin works when others do not! I was trying to use the wp-postviews plugin but it would always cause a fatal error when activating. Figured it down to a conflict with the wp-subdomains plugin. This one works flawlessly though. Although I don’t mind having the views be public, it would be nice to have the option to have it be viewable only by staff and maybe in the admin dashboard. Either way, glad I found a plugin that can count my views! :D

    • Ajay / Feb 16 2009

      That’s a fantastic idea. I got a release planned in the next few hours. I’ll put the feature in the TODO list :)

    • Ajay / Feb 16 2009

      v1.1 now displays the popular posts in the WordPress Dashboard :)

      • acidtrip / Feb 17 2009

        I like the dashboard widget showing popular posts. I actually meant like add another column to the posts dashboard the shows how many hits each post has gotten. I dunno if it’s possible, but would be a nice feature.

        • Ajay / Feb 17 2009

          I believe this should be possible. Let me take a look into it.

        • Ajay / Feb 17 2009

          Am successfully implemented this. Will add this in the next version release.

  13. Patrick Schute / Feb 17 2009

    I have had the following stats plug in installed:

    Plugin Name: WordPress.com Stats
    Plugin URI: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/stats/
    Author: Andy Skelton
    Version: 1.3.5

    Can I use the same table or transfer the stats some how?

    Thanks!

    :) PS

    • Ajay / Feb 17 2009

      I don’t think it is possible, because I believe that the stats are not stored on your server.

      • Patrick Schute / Feb 17 2009

        I have a list of the stats, can I manually change the table that you read from?

        Thanks for the speedy reply, BTW!

        :) PS

        • Ajay / Feb 17 2009

          The table in which Top 10 stores its stats is wp_top_ten

          I’m not sure where the WordPress.com plugin stores its stats.

          • Patrick Schute / Feb 17 2009

            Where would I find the wp_top_ten table? I want to change it manually. Is this possible…sorry to be so clueless.

            :) PS

  14. Ajay / Feb 17 2009

    You’ll need to edit it in PHPmyAdmin. However, like I said, I don’t think the plugin you use stores its statistics in the WordPress database on your site, but on WordPress.com servers.

  15. David / Feb 25 2009

    Hello,

    Thanks for the plugin, I have it installed on a blog but the other issue I have having is its displaying the number of views beside the title. How can I remove that?

    Thanks

    • Ajay / Feb 26 2009

      Right now you can’t, unless you edit the plugin file. I’ll put in an option in the next version :)

  16. Mike / Mar 1 2009

    First, thanks for the plugin!

    I noticed that unpublished pages show up in the list. I have one or two “test” pages that I use to try out new things (plugins, code, etc.) that I never publish but hit semi-frequently.

    The following changes remove drafts from the list:

    Change:
    $sql = “SELECT postnumber, cntaccess , ID, post_type “;

    to

    $sql = “SELECT postnumber, cntaccess , ID, post_type, post_status “;

    (two instances)

    And add the following line:

    $sql .= “AND post_status = ‘publish’ “;

    above the “ORDER BY” line in both the same SELECT blocks you made the previous changes to.

    All four changes in top-10.php.

    Pretty straight forward and I don’t really see any reason why this couldn’t/shouldn’t get rolled into a future version. I can’t imagine why people would *really* want to count the hits their drafts get anyway.

    • Ajay / Mar 1 2009

      Good point. I’ll put this on the to-do list :)

      Thank you.

  17. Tim / Mar 4 2009

    Nice plugin. I’ve one suggestion – can you make the post count on the end of the top 10 list be optional?

    • Ajay / Mar 4 2009

      I’ll had this in mind, but it slipped out of my mind in this release. I’ll put this as a to-do in the next release, along with some other formatting options I have in mind.

      • Tim / Mar 4 2009

        Great, thanks! :-)

  18. Torsten / Mar 6 2009

    Thanks for your Plugin. Is there a way to change the style of the Top-Post-Line on the bottom of each entry? For me it is styled like the whole post, but I like it to be in italic or something different from the main post-area. Thanks in advance!

  19. Gerrit / Mar 20 2009

    Great plugin! Love it! Just one request: It would be nice to be able to exclude certain pages/posts (e.g. by post/page number) from being shown in the top 10. Especially the static home page would be the first I would put on that exclusion list.

    • Ajay / Mar 20 2009

      I think that can be done, especially if it is an exclude by number. I’ll probably thrown in a exclude by categories option as well.

  20. Raju / Mar 23 2009

    Hey Ajay,
    I would like to know if it is possible to add tags for each row. Currently it comes plain

    • Ajay / Mar 23 2009

      Hi Raju,

      I’m not sure where you want to add the tags?

      • Raju / Mar 23 2009

        Please have a look at the sidebar widget (http://techpp.com) I am looking for an ordered list, it is coming as plain list.

        • Ajay / Mar 23 2009

          That is cause it is inbuilt. I’m currently working on a version that provides you with the option to select between ordered and unordered list.

          Currently, if you want, you can edit the top-10.php file and change the ul to ol

          • Raju / Mar 23 2009

            Sure!! that helps a lot :) thanks man!

  21. Ajay / Mar 23 2009

    @Raju, You’re welcome. Glad to know you chose this plugin for tracking your posts.

    Do, blog and spread the word :)

  22. Karl / Mar 24 2009

    Hi there,

    Thanks for the plugin! I tried a different one first, which didn’t work with qTranslate (output titles in all languages), but yours works just fine, which is great.

    I have one query though – I’m using the widget in my sidebar, but would prefer to only show “Popular Posts” and not “Daily Posts”. Would it be possible to add this functionality to the widget, so that one can tick whether to include one or the other, or both? I can add the PHP code to my sidebar and it works fine, but would be great too control this directly in the widget.

    Thanks again!

  23. Karl / Mar 24 2009

    Sorry, just had another look at the widgets page, and see thre are already two separate ones! Could almost swear I only saw and added one, but I guess I’m dreaming. Either way, all works great, I’m now running just the “popular posts” widget and it works great.

    Thanks!

    • Ajay / Mar 24 2009

      Great :) Glad to know the plugin is serving you well…!

  24. Lukas / Mar 31 2009

    When do you plan to publish new version with most popular by comments? I can see you have it on the TO DO list :)
    Thanks for the plugin, I was looking for it a while :)

  25. Karl / Mar 31 2009

    Hi Ajay,

    Thanks again for the plugin. I was wondering if there are any news on the option to remove either the static page or pages by ID (or both)? That would be a great feature – at the moment, the start page is showing top of my list and it would be better if it wasn’t there! : )

    Karl

    • Ajay / Mar 31 2009

      I plan on providing a simple field that will allow the user to enter a comma separated list of IDs. This IMO, is the fastest implementation of the same. And, you’ll need to only enter this once.

      • Karl / Mar 31 2009

        Thanks for the reply! Yes I agree, a comma separated list would be quick and easy to administer, I couldn’t imagine most people wanting to exclude too many pages anyway.

  26. Michael / Apr 2 2009

    Hey Ajay,

    Thanks for the great plugin. However, the counter doesn’t seem to be working which prevents any posts from being displayed in the widget. The widget is enabled and working as I can see the title on the front page.

    Would appreciate any help.

    Thanks

  27. Matt Parkinson / Apr 9 2009

    Great work Ajay!
    Just wondered if you knew the quickest way to assign No Follow attritubes to the Top Post links for SEO purposes?
    Many thanks
    Matt

  28. Mr.Vee / Apr 24 2009

    Hey,

    Good job with the plug-in.

    How can i add custom fields for daily and total post count? I want topten to work with smart sort, so i can sort posts by view count. It’s possible with wp-postviews, but i hate that thing :) Maybe you will add custom field feature into next release?

    Thank you for your answer.

  29. Kyle / Jul 17 2011

    Hey there!

    just wondering if there is a way to filter the list so it can show top 10 in a specific category?

  30. Richard / Jul 30 2011

    Hi,

    Really like the Top 10 plugin only I have an issue that I wonder if you could explain. I would like to reset the lists each hour or every second hour instead of once a day.

    What can I do to mod the plugin to do just that?

    Best Regards,
    Richard

  31. T / Aug 14 2011

    Can you add a “Top most viewed category” option? Basically just add up total view count of all the posts within a category and return a category top list. I would install another plugin to do this but, its much easier within one native plugin such as “top 10″.

    • Ajay / Aug 14 2011

      T, I can put tis on the to-do list. I’ll see if it is possible to easily implement it

      • T / Nov 16 2011

        Any luck with this??

  32. Kenneth Johnsen / Aug 23 2011

    add a function to the plugin so that you can put ranks on which post/page is most viewed:

    1. Post-title-here. (viewed 34 times)
    2. Post-title-here. (viewed 29 times)
    3. Post-title-here. (viewed 10 times)
    4. Post-title-here. (viewed 9 times)
    5. Post-title-here. (viewed 5 times)

  33. nitin / Aug 28 2011

    i am using this awesome plugin.
    But by default it is using featured image and not using custom field image.
    I want it to use custom field image not featured image.

    How to do it.
    using daily popular post.

    • Ajay / Sep 1 2011

      Nitin, the first priority of the plugin is to use the featured image, since that is associated with the post. It will use the custom field only in case there is no featured. However, I plan on changing the priorities in a future release

  34. Mickey / Aug 31 2011

    Great plugin. Thanks.
    But for some reason, the doesnt want to become a header as its written in the css file.

    As a suggestion, It would be nice if I could choose how to display the top10 list, for example: the link/headline as a h3, then the image, then then excerpt. Example here: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/600/thumb10e.jpg/

    Another suggestion: Able to show 10 random post out of a top100/500 (whatever) list so it wont always be the same list every time people surf on the site – cuz for me at least, the search engines are killing the list a bit.

    • Ajay / Sep 1 2011

      Mickey, I like the second suggestion. I’ll need to figure out how to get it to work.

      Regarding the first, you should be able to use CSS to customise the layout. Try using the display:block setting? But, this will be a bit of painful styling.

  35. Mickey / Aug 31 2011

    btw, you need to make something different with your comments. It seems broken after I post one. Cant see anything. It would also be nices if all of the comments are shown directly, and not just a few on each page.

    • Ajay / Sep 1 2011

      I’ll need to check this. It’s a new theme I recently installed. Guess it needs some tweaks

  36. Rob / Sep 4 2011

    Would love to see a counter on the attachment (image) pages as well…

  37. Miranda Helfer / Sep 5 2011

    Hello Ajay,

    I have downloaded the plugin and customized to my liking but do not know how to get on homepage. I see in instructions you advise to add to sidebar widget in appearance but I would like to add this widget to homepage right sidebar on my site.

    Can you please advise how I can grab the code to paste on Homepage instead of Post page.

    Greatly Appreciated
    Thanks
    Miranda

    • Miranda Helfer / Sep 5 2011

      Sorry, I figured out how to get on Homepage. I have pasted the following code:

      However, it displays a black block and can only see the links when I hover over the posts. Can you please advise on how to edit so that it displays without having to hover over links?

      P.S. When hovering, the links are the right color :)

      • Ajay / Sep 5 2011

        Can you post a link?

        • Miranda / Sep 5 2011

          Hi Ajay,

          Not sure what you mean by post a link. I took the code off the homepage for now…would it be easier if I left on for you to assess?

          Miranda

  38. Ahsan / Sep 10 2011

    I already installed this plugin & using it. It has some unique feature. I am enjoying it

  39. Lila / Oct 2 2011

    Hi,
    thanks for this plugin, I wanted something like that. :)
    I have just installed it, but nothing appears in homepage. I mean I didn’t see anything. Do you think I have to wait o I have to do something?
    Thanks for you time, I really appreciate your help. :)

    • Ajay / Oct 3 2011

      Lila, the plugin tracks hits on your pages. As you get hits, you’ll see the list being filled.

  40. Chris / Oct 7 2011

    Hi,

    Awesome plugin, we are struggling with one issue.

    On the dashboard, there is a list of the top ten daily and overall posts. Under each, links to go down through the next 10, and the next 10, etc.

    As the admin, I can click on these and go down through the different pages, .

    But when my contributors try to do that, the get a page that says: “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.”

    The can see the top 10 on the dashboard ok, but if they they go to, for example: mysite.com/wp-admin/edit.php?page=tptn_manage&paged=30&daily=1&limit=10

    They get the error. Any ideas on why or what I can do to fix that?

    Thanks, Chris

    • Ajay / Oct 7 2011

      Currently Contributors cannot modify posts:

      A quick fix is to move line 367 in admin.inc.php by moving this line out of the }

      add_posts_page(__("Popular Posts", TPTN_LOCAL_NAME), __("Top 10", TPTN_LOCAL_NAME), 9, 'tptn_manage', 'tptn_manage');

      I more complicated way is to check for Capability: edit_posts

      • Chris / Oct 7 2011

        Thank you very much for the fast reply Ajay.

        I moved the line outside of the bracket, but then it gave me the same ‘You do not have sufficient permissions’ error even when I am logged in as admin.

        I moved the line that was like this:

        add_posts_page(__(“Popular Posts”, TPTN_LOCAL_NAME), __(“Top 10″, TPTN_LOCAL_NAME), 9, ‘tptn_manage’, ‘tptn_manage’);
        }
        }

        • Chris / Oct 7 2011

          To this:

          }
          add_posts_page(__(“Popular Posts”, TPTN_LOCAL_NAME), __(“Top 10″, TPTN_LOCAL_NAME), 9, ‘tptn_manage’, ‘tptn_manage’);
          }

        • Ajay / Oct 7 2011

          Could you please try this piece of code, separate from the other “if” loop.

          if (current_user_can('edit_posts')) {
          add_posts_page(__("Popular Posts", TPTN_LOCAL_NAME), __("Top 10", TPTN_LOCAL_NAME), 9, 'tptn_manage', 'tptn_manage');
          }

            hmm, if I put it in the same place (between the } and the }, it does not change anything, I can see those pages as admin, not as contributor (contributers do have ‘edit posts’ privilages).

            If I put it outside the second bracket, just before the ‘add_action(‘admin_menu’, ‘tptn_adminmenu’);
            ‘ line, I get s server error.

    Thanks a lot for your plugin! :D
    I’ve noticed that the plugin icreases posts views…while admin ‘checks and manages’ theme from frontend.
    The related option is unchecked in the backend plugin interface.
    What i’m doing wrong?

    See you soon!

    • Ajay / Oct 11 2011

      Danilo, it is just post-authors that are not counted. However, I’ll take this point into consideration as a possible new feature

      • danilo / Oct 12 2011

        Ok, ty!
        Another quick request: can i change the number format of views? Without any coma or dot…
        What code i’ve to modify to do that?
        Thanks a lot Ajay

        • Ajay / Oct 12 2011

          Unfortunately, no easy way to do that either. You’ll need to edit a few files.
          Line 191 of top-10.php and line 37 of top-10-counter.js.php display the count
          You can use number_format to format the count

  42. Dedi / Oct 12 2011

  43. Chance / Oct 19 2011

    Thank you for the plugin, I love it! Btw I just want to suggest if it would be possible to also make a top 10 for each category or tag.

    • Ajay / Oct 24 2011

      Chance, this one is on my to-do list

  44. ray / Oct 24 2011

    hello. awesome plugin. i plan on using it to display thumbnails from my top 10 posts. i can get that part working, no problem.

    ive played with the width and height in the thumbnail settings of your plugin. wondering if possible to just set a width on the thumbnail, and leave the height alone, so vertical images arent squished into a square or a horizontal.

    let me know if theres a code i can drop in, or delete to take care of this.

    thanks in advance!

    • Ajay / Nov 3 2011

      Ray, this is a feature I’m currently working on. I plan on using timthumb for this, since that seems to be the best option. However, I’m not sure how correctly this auto-resizing will work

  45. Massimo / Nov 22 2011

    I want to change the text on the widget. “Comments” and “Views”.. How can i do it? Thanks for your fantastic plugin!

  46. osvaldo / Nov 23 2011

    hello, how to remove the multiple counting of the visits?

    Thanks

  47. spotted / Nov 29 2011

    First i wanna say thank you very much for this great plugin. This plugin should be a lot of more famous its 100 times better than the most i saw until now.

    How can i show the Views myself?
    I want to display (Visited %totalcount% times, %dailycount% visits today) myself on the single page
    but im not sure wich code i can use to display it.

    thanks in advance

    • spotted / Dec 1 2011

      never mind already got it

  48. Jason Yule / Dec 2 2011

    Hi, is there a way to modify the plugin so that it multiplies the number of hits? i.e. to 2) to inflate post views by 2 perhaps? :-)

    thanks

    • Ajay / Dec 7 2011

      Well, not sure why you would want to do that, but you could modify the top-10-addcount.js.php file and add a x2 where the count is added

  49. Linesh Jose / Dec 7 2011

    Hi, I’ve been using this pluggin for last 8 month. thanks bro for such a great plugin :)

  50. Miranda Helfer / Dec 13 2011

    Hello Ajay,

    I would like to use the counter but not display the TOP 10 posts on my website. I noticed that the view counts are right on the Posts page in WordPress. It is exactly what I want minus the TOP 10 widget displaying on my website.

    Thanks in advance,
    Miranda

    • Ajay / Dec 14 2011

      Miranda, if you don’t add the widget to your theme, then it shouldn’t display on your blog automatically

  51. mohammad saed / Dec 14 2011

    I’m trying your plugin, but there is problem with popular post, it showed duplicate posts on show. moreover, i want to know how to style the excerpt. thanks for your plugin. one more, the output format is not working as it should be

  52. Bryan Eggers / Dec 26 2011

    Greetings! I just realized that I can add a thumbnail to my Most Popular listings. But I can’t seem to put the image on the left with the headline next to it on the right. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

  53. spotted / Dec 27 2011

    Hey guys, on my site the counts are going crazy every pageview counts like 5-50 pageviews.
    is there anyone who got the same problem?

    • Ajay / Dec 27 2011

      What’s the link to your site?

    • Mike / Jan 2 2012

      Ajay recently released a new version of this plugin. Try version 1.8, maybe it will solve your problems.

  54. Gene / Jan 4 2012

    This is a great plugin, I love it!
    But how can I prevent some posts from sowing in the widget?
    Can I exclude a specific post or at list lower the number of hits for it so it doesn’t show in the widget?
    I spent a lot of time searching for solution, but no luck.
    Ajay, please help!

    • Ajay / Jan 4 2012

      The only way to do that is to directly reset the count in the database using phpMyAdmin. Remember to backup your database before you attempt this.

    He wrote again that he figured it out, but didn’t bother to share how he figured it out. Can you let me know how, or what code is used, to accomplish this?

    Thanks.

    Where can I find style of plugin sidebar popular list? I want to chsnge pre image style.

    • Ajay / Jan 15 2012

      You can style the tptn_thumb class by adding the code into your style.css of your theme

  57. opz / Jan 12 2012

    Hi, thanks for the great plugin! Could I please find out if there is an option to have the post view counter at the top of the post rather than the bottom of the post? Not sure if there’s an option that I missed, or if it’s possible at all. Thanks! :)

  58. Randall Flagg / Jan 12 2012

    Is there a way to use Post-Types with this awesome plugin?

    • Ajay / Jan 15 2012

      Not yet. This is something I am working on.

  59. Simone Semmel / Jan 19 2012

    Hi at all,

    I’ve a really awesome problem: After installing this plugin I saw the counter in the posts, but after configuration in the admin-panel there is no more counter to see.

    Because the counter on the single posts is not so important for me, I tried to configure the listings on our left sidebar, because I want to show both lists. With the widget the top of all list no prob. With the code in the theme, no chance.

    WP 2.9.2. What can I do?

    Regards
    Simone

    • Ajay / Jan 23 2012

      Simone, I’m not sure what you mean by “with the code in the theme, no chance”.

  60. Mauro / Feb 3 2012

    Is there a way to display number of page views in popular lists at the beginning on the left side of the link. Right now it’s displaying at the end of the description.
