FAQ

How do I change the look of the list of posts?

The plugin does not bring any CSS style for the list of posts, the visual follows the style sheet theme, so to change the look just customize the CSS of the theme.

How do I change the amount of posts being displayed in the rankings?

The first parameter of the function to set the number of posts by default 5 posts will be listed, but if you want to change this value just set the value in the first parameter. For example, if you want the 10 most viewed posts are displayed use the following code to call the ranking:

<?php
if ( function_exists( 'displayRanking' ) ) {
displayRanking(10);
}
?>

How to display the thumbnail of the post?

To show the thumbnail you need to set the parameter to true $ thumb, below an example of displaying the ranking with thumbnail image:

<?php
if ( function_exists( 'displayRanking' ) ) {
displayRanking( '', '', '', '', true );
}
?>
