Weblog Tools Collection: Updated WordPress Plugin: Top 10

Last week, we gave you two plugins to play with. And this week we’re back with yet another plugin.

Way back in 2005, Mark released the Top 10 posts plugin that allowed you to track page views and display them on your blog post. You could also display a list of popular posts.

With WordPress 2.7, a update was necessary and here it is.

The Top 10 plugin for WordPress will track page views on single and post pages and store them safely in a table in the WordPress database. You can then display the count in your post automatically, or either manually.

Features:

• Counts page views on single posts and pages
• Display the count on the single posts and pages
• Customize the text that can be displayed
• Display a list of popular posts by page count. The number can be customized.
• Clean uninstall if you choose to delete the plugin from within WP-Admin
• Works with WP Super Cache

The best part about Top 10 is that it is compatibile with WP Super Cache. It will count page views even with WP Super Cache enabled and a unique feature with this plugin is that it will display the latest count from the database even on cached posts.

This plugin, though fully functional, is still in its nascent phase. There are several features that can be added and I already have a few planned. I’m looking forward to suggestions and feature requests to make Top 10 a truly useful plugin for all of you!

We have it running on this blog and I also have it running on Techtites. Check out the bottom of the posts for a demo.

So, pen down your comments on the plugin page or in the comments section below.
