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/or pages. Customize the text that can be displayed
  • Display a list of daily and/or overall popular posts by page count. You can choose how many posts are to be displayed
  • Thumbnail support
    • Support for WordPress post thumbnails
    • Auto-extract the first image in your post to be displayed as a thumbnail
    • Manually enter the URL of the thumbnail via WordPress meta fields
    • Use timthumb to resize images
  • Sidebar widgets available for daily popular and overall popular posts
  • Exclude posts from select categories from appearing in the top posts list
  • View list of daily and/or overall popular posts from within the dashboard
  • Output wrapped in CSS classes that allows you to style the list. You can enter your custom CSS styles from within WordPress Admin area
  • Customise which HTML tags to use for displaying the output in case you don’t prefer the default list format
  • Clean uninstall if you choose to delete the plugin from within WP-Admin
  • Works with caching plugins like WP-Super-Cache, W3 Total Cache or Quick Cache

You can customize how the count is displayed. Use %totalcount% to display the total count, %dailycount% to display the daily count and %overallcount% to display the overall count across all posts.

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.
