Late last night I pushed through a minor release of Top 10. v1.9.8.5 which mainly contains some tweaks to make your experience using the plugin better. Now, the author name that is displayed in the list (if you choose to do so), will be the Public Name which is what you set in the Profile page. There is a brand new function (“get_tptn_post_count_only“) that allows you to get just the count. Changes in Top 10 1.9.8.5 Modified: Including the author in the list will now use the Display Name which is set under “Display name publicly as” in the User Profile page Fixed: If the Thumbnail meta field is omitted…

The last update of Top 10 broke the number of days used when displaying the list of daily posts. v1.9.8.3 now fixes this bugs and also includes some other minor changes. I’ve also fixed some of the initialisation errors in the Top 10 widget. As usual, if you have any bugs to report, please use the WordPress Support Forums. Due to the volume of requests it is just not possible for me to entertain any support queries via comments, email or Twitter. If you’re a current user and love this plugin, do consider leaving a good review and maybe even a small (or big) donation. Coffee $5.00 USDCoffee and Sandwich…

I’ve uploaded the latest update of Top 10 and current users of the plugin should be able to see the update within their WordPress Dashboards now. This release adds a few new features that have been requested by users of the plugin. A key feature addition is the replacement of the single column in your “All Posts” page with two separate columns for Total and Daily respectively. You can also sort the columns by highest or lowest count. Few other changes include an option to include the author in the list item. The last update had the option to add the date and the author was the next on the…

Released a tiny update to Top 10 a few days back in an attempt to find a solution to the tracking issue that was introduced in v1.9.5. Users now have an option to turn on jQuery to track plugin visits. You’ll find that as “W3 Total Cache fix”. And, last week Top 10 crossed 100,000 downloads. Am glad this plugin has received such good acceptance and I thank all of the users of this plugin for this! If you’ve been using Top 10, why not give it a 5-star review. If you’re facing issues do use the support forums since it is one centralised place that I can easily monitor.

Update: v1.9.6 still has bugs on some installs where the Ajax is not run and counts are not incremented. I pushed through relatively minor updates to Top 10. The main reason for this update was to get the plugin working better with W3 Total Cache where counts weren’t updated due to its aggressive caching. The title of the posts also have their very own title tag which allows you to separately style this. And, lastly, users can now turn on or off the counting for overall and / or daily posts. So, if you don’t need the daily counter, you’ll get some performance improvements. v1.9.6 fixes bugs introduced in v1.9.5…
