IMPORTANT: 3.0 supports cahing plugins!
When someone visits a post or page (not a search engine bot crawler), it adds 1 count views to its counter.
But this is not all, the counters are split in days, weeks, months, years, so you can see stats and display any stat day.
Then you can display this views with the provided shortcode [post_view] or use the widget to display a top (or less) posts list.
You can also use [most_view] in a post/page to get a top (or less) post most viewed.
If you were using another kind of plugin before and don’t want to lose your counters, this plugin can keep them!

This plugin counts views for post and pages, shortcodes [post_view] & [most_view] are available, also a widget "Most Viewed Posts" is.

Popular Widget

The plugin still works as expected but the support doesn't seem to be very responsive: Last reply on the Wordpress forum over 1 year ago, on the recommended official forum over 2 months ago.
More activity would be great since there are not many comparable alternatives.



Nice plugin, and some support would be great

Display the most commented or most viewed posts in a tabbed widget, filter the post by date range or by category. It also includes a tags tab.
