<p>This easy to use WordPress plugin is designed to add a new feature for theme developers. Used on many of my own websites as well as those of my clients, the plugin allows me to quickly add a collection of popular posts to any theme element.</p>
<p>The plugin can easily be used by website owners as a WordPress Widget, adding lists of posts to the Sidebar of a WordPress website.</p>
<h4>About the plugin</h4>
<p>More advanced users can also call the functionality of the plugin from a WordPress shortcode by adding the code <code>[thisismyurl_easy_popular_posts]</code> to any Post or Page within WordPress.</p>
<p>Finally, theme authors may also take advantage of the plugin by calling the functionality directly from theme files with the code <code>thisismyurl_easy_popular_posts();</code>.</p>
