## Beschrijving

WordPress lacks built-in page view tracking or a popular posts feature. [Top 10](https://webberzone.com/plugins/top-10/)
solves this by counting views across posts, pages, and custom post types, then letting
you showcase your most popular content.

Top 10 provides blocks, widgets, shortcodes, and template functions for displaying
popular posts and view counts across your site. All tracking data is stored locally
in your WordPress database, with no external services involved.

Top 10 includes comprehensive features such as thumbnail support, flexible display
options, custom post type support, and developer-friendly extensibility. A built-
in caching layer reduces server load, while AJAX-based tracking avoids page cache
interference and works with most popular caching plugins.

Top 10 also exposes a powerful API with WordPress actions and filters, allowing 
developers to customise queries, tracking behaviour, and output rendering without
modifying core plugin files.

#### Kenmerken

 * **Page Counter**: Tracks hourly post views on posts, pages, and custom post types.
   Display counts automatically using blocks, shortcodes, or template functions
 * **Popular Posts**: Display most viewed posts by total counts or within custom
   time periods
 * **Gutenberg Support**: Dedicated “Popular Posts [Top 10]” block with configurable
   display options
 * **Multisite Dashboard**: Network-wide aggregated statistics across all sites 
   in a multisite installation
 * **Widgets**: Sidebar widgets for daily and overall popular posts with extensive
   customisation
 * **Shortcodes**: Use `[tptn_list]` to display popular post lists and `[tptn_views]`
   to show view counts
 * **Thumbnails**:
    - WordPress post thumbnail support with custom `tptn_thumbnail` image size
    - Automatic extraction of the first image from post content
    - Manual thumbnail URLs via Edit Post screens
 * **Exclusions**: Exclude posts by category or post ID from popular post lists
 * **Styling**: Output wrapped in semantic CSS classes. Add custom CSS via settings
   or use included styles
 * **Admin Interface**: View daily and overall popular posts from the dashboard.
   Adds sortable view-count columns to post and page lists
 * **Export/Import**: Export count tables and settings, and restore them on the 
   same site or other installs
 * **Caching Compatibility**: Works with WP Super Cache, W3 Total Cache, Quick Cache,
   and similar plugins
 * **Developer-Friendly**: Extensive filters and actions to customise queries, tracking
   behaviour, and output rendering

#### Features in Top 10 Pro

 * **Enhanced Tracking and Performance**
    - **Fast and High-Traffic Trackers**: Alternative tracking methods for improved
      performance on busy sites
    - **Site-wide Tracking**: Track views for the front page, posts page, archives,
      and searches in addition to individual content
    - **Query Optimisation**: MySQL `MAX_EXECUTION_TIME` directive to prevent long-
      running queries, configurable via settings and the `top_ten_query_max_execution_time`
      filter
    - **Data Retention Override**: Customizable data retention period (default 180
      days via `TOP_TEN_STORE_DATA`)
    - **Lazy Loading**: Render popular posts lists via JavaScript only when they
      are about to scroll into view, so full-page caching plugins can serve a page
      without baking in a live popular-posts query. Works with content, shortcodes,
      widgets, and the Popular Posts block; disable per instance with the `lazy_load`
      shortcode/block attribute
 * **Advanced Blocks and Widgets**
    - **Top 10 Query Block**: Query and display popular posts directly from the 
      block or site editor
    - **Enhanced Top 10 Featured Image Block**: Support for multiple image sources
      with fallbacks
    - **Popular Posts Block Enhancements**:
    - Save and clear default block settings with a single click
    - Auto-insert default and global settings attributes with an option to disable
 * **Enhanced Admin Tools**
    - **Admin Bar Integration**: Admin bar menu item to view daily, total, and overall
      post counts, access admin pages, and clear cache
    - **Disable Admin Bar menu**: Setting to disable the Admin Bar menu
    - **Dashboard Access Control**: Setting to control which user roles can view
      the Top 10 dashboard
    - **Display Settings**: Setting to choose which post type screens display admin
      columns
    - **Mini “Top 10 Views Overview” widget**: Compact views-over-time chart on 
      the WordPress Dashboard
    - **Multisite Settings Copy**: Tool to copy settings between sites in a multisite
      network
 * **Custom Display Options**
    - **Taxonomy-Specific Displays**: `display_only_on_tax_ids` parameter to restrict
      popular post displays to specific taxonomy terms
    - **Category Inclusion**: Edit Post meta box option to include popular posts
      from specific categories
    - **RSS Feed Filtering**: Filter RSS feeds by category or post type via settings
      or URL parameters
 * **WP-CLI Integration**
    - **`wp top10 counts`**: View, get, set, reset, export, and import post view
      counts from the command line
    - **`wp top10 db`**: Manage database tables — check status, create, update, 
      recreate, prune old rows, force aggregation, truncate, and clean up orphaned
      counts
    - **`wp top10 cache`**: Flush, enable, disable, and check the status of the 
      output cache
    - **`wp top10 settings`**: Get, set, export, and import plugin settings as JSON

      as the front end

      support `--network` and `--blog-id`

    - **Custom Post Type Sortable Columns**: Admin columns on supported custom post
      types with sortable functionality

## FAQ

### Where can I get help and support?

Before opening a support request, please check the following resources:

 * [FAQ on the WordPress.org plugin page](https://wordpress.org/plugins/top-10/faq/)
 * [FAQ on the WebberZone knowledge base](https://webberzone.com/support/product/top-10/)

These cover the most common questions and are the fastest way to get answers, as
they are actively maintained.

If your question is not answered there, please create a new topic in the
 [WordPress.org support forum](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/top-10/).
This is the preferred support channel for the free plugin, and the forums are monitored
regularly.

Support for products sold and distributed by WebberZone is available **only**
 to
users with an active, valid licence. Licensed users can request support [here](https://webberzone.com/request-support/).

### Can this plugin replace Google Analytics?

No. Top 10 tracks page views and displays popular posts. It is not designed to replace
analytics platforms.

### How does tracking work?

Each visit is queued in a lightweight funnel table and aggregated into the count
tables every five minutes by a cron job, so tracking never blocks page loads and
works correctly behind page caches.

For a full explanation of tracker types, the funnel flow, and how to adjust the 
aggregation interval, see [Trackers in Top 10](https://webberzone.com/support/knowledgebase/trackers-in-top-10/).

### How does scheduled maintenance work?

When enabled, Top 10 runs a scheduled task that periodically removes old entries

from the `wp_top_ten_daily` table.

Note: WordPress executes scheduled tasks on the first eligible page load.

### How can I report security bugs?

You can report security bugs through the Patchstack Vulnerability Disclosure Program.

The Patchstack team help validate, triage and handle any security vulnerabilities.

I’ve tried several similar plugins, but I’ve continued to use Top 10 because it 
is lightweight and easy to manage in day-to-day use. Its public functions and hooks
are easy to find and understand, making it flexible enough to adapt to different
needs. The plugin is actively developed, and the support is responsive and helpful.

Top 10 es, según mi experiencia, el mejor contador de visitas que hay en la actualidad

Was using WordPress Popular Posts to see pages getting visits on my website until
it stopped working. Had to look for alternatives and found this. Installed it but
it still didn't work. I had to remove it and lo and behold, an email from the developer!
Couldn't believe it because I haven't seen that before. To cut a long story short,
he helped me to resolve the problem and the plugin works like a charm! I definitely
recommend. 5 stars.

### 󠀁[Not good as Popular post widget](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-good-as-popular-post-widget/)󠁿

 [Pierre236](https://profiles.wordpress.org/pierreto/) 10 juni 2024 2 reacties

Since the widgets in my Soledad theme (pencidesign) don't allow you to choose post
types (well, they do, but as always, it doesn't work), I installed the Popular Post
plugin. The plugin works perfectly and looks good, but it says it's out of date 
and needs changing. So I installed this plugin, with lots of useless options and
inconsistent settings between the widget and the admin configuration. But the display
is ugly, the photos don't adapt automatically and perfectly, like Popular Post, 
and like the old plugins, before the arrival of tablet and mobile, it asks you to
set sizes for the photos. But what size to set? There's no option for desktop, tablet
or mobile! Good programmers have images that adapt to the device! I thought I'd 
have to buy the pro version for the display to be correct, but after registering
on the site, there's nothing. So it's a shame to see Wordpress going downhill, evolving
in the wrong direction and good plugins disappearing.

I was forced to replace WordPress Popular Posts (plugin is banned from Kinsta Hosting)
and was happy to find Top-10. Does a nice job, but not yet as versatile as WPP. 
Already has a lot of extension points (hooks), which i'll further investigate (e.
g. showing category names after title/excerpt). Developer seems responsive and very
supportive, which is nice!

## Changelog

#### 4.5.1

_Release Date – 19 September 2026_

 * Fixed:
    - Security: Hardened thumbnail dimension handling to prevent stored Cross-Site
      Scripting by an Author-level user via block attributes.

#### 4.5.0

Release date: 7 September 2026
 Release post: https://webberzone.com/announcements/
top-10-v4-5/

**Added**

 * [Pro] Popular Posts elements for Elementor, Bricks Builder and WPBakery Page 
   Builder.
 * [Pro] Optional site-wide tracking for front pages, posts pages, archives and 
   searches.
 * [Pro] Reduce Daily Table Size tool to combine older hourly records.
 * [Pro] `wp top10 db rollup` command for CLI and multisite use.

**Changed**

 * Reduced admin overhead on large multisite networks by caching table metadata,
   probing WPP tables directly and using estimated row counts on the Tools page.
 * Sped up the dashboard with index-friendly `dp_date` ranges, optimized network
   popular-post queries and on-demand loading of historical tabs.
 * Setting defaults are now resolved from a lightweight list instead of building
   every settings field, so reading an option early in the page load no longer loads
   translations too early.

**Security**

 * Hardened settings sanitization for users without the `unfiltered_html` capability.
 * Hardened referer and array handling in settings sanitization, and renamed the
   settings JS globals.

**Fixed**

 * View tracking was lost during quick navigation or browser back-button restores.
 * View counts were recorded for prerendered or initially hidden pages.
 * Bot views were recorded from cached pages, and views were recorded for browser
   prefetches, prerenders and direct navigations to tracker URLs.
 * Tracker scripts did not run when loaded asynchronously after `DOMContentLoaded`
   had fired.
 * Generated output cache keys were not discoverable by the Clear Cache tools or
   the WP-CLI cache flush command.
 * Settings on a multisite network read another site’s values in the same request
   after a `switch_to_blog()` call, when read via `tptn_get_option()` or the global`
   $tptn_settings`.
 * `tptn_get_settings()` returned `false` instead of an empty array when no settings
   had been saved yet.
 * Visit data was silently lost in funnel aggregation, and the Fast Tracker raised
   an undefined array key warning.
 * Plugin data was deleted when uninstalling one version while its paired free or
   Pro counterpart was active.
 * Improved compatibility with PHP 8.6.
 * [Pro] Daily counts in the `wp top10 popular` command did not respect the selected
   custom date range.
