This new Widgets editor expects [WordPress blocks](https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/blocks-list/) instead of regular WordPress widgets. If you’re using the classic WP Popular Posts widget please replace it with the [WP Popular Posts block](https://cabrerahector.com/wordpress/wordpress-popular-posts-5-3-improved-php-8-support-retina-display-support-and-more/#block-editor-support) instead – it has the same features and functionality as the «classic» widget so you won’t be missing anything at all. See the [Migration Guide](https://cabrerahector.com/wordpress/migrating-from-the-classic-popular-posts-widget/) for more details. Bjorn from wplearninglab.com was kind enough to create a video explaining how to use the new block for all of you visual learners: If you cannot (or do not want to) use WordPress blocks on your website then please replace your classic widget with the [[wpp] shortcode](https://github.com/cabrerahector/wordpress-popular-posts/wiki/1.-Using-WPP-on-posts-&-pages#the-wpp-shortcode). #### ¡Apoya el proyecto!

It defeats the entire purpose of Nginx/WP Rocket caching. There you spend all your energy optimizing to reduce every imaginable PHP FPM invocation, let alone the absurd DB query cascade of WP, and then this plugin comes and fires a XHR to the backend to load content that could have and should have come prerendered through the main page request. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/196372762c370db561df1cab1b43ddbdc086092cc029580ae47b514d8c616d26? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Great plugin – great support](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-plugin-great-support-1988/)󠁿 [seegeist](https://profiles.wordpress.org/seegeist/) 27 de mayo de 2025 1 respuesta I’ve only been using the plugin for a few days. At first I had a problem, thanks to the good and fast support I was able to solve the problem quickly, it was not due to the plugin, but to my theme. Since then everything has been working as it should. They also respond to change requests. Just great. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/971f6b88833ed050478815d6adcb22115bf29ea7b38c0c670d72841e32e85855? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[No css customization option](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-css-customization-option/)󠁿 [abre01](https://profiles.wordpress.org/abre01/) 24 de mayo de 2025 1 respuesta Out of sheer frustration I would like to give only one star because the css style cannot be changed in the normal way. I have tried for hours. It is only possible with great effort, e.g. via changes in funcions.php. Since the plugin works otherwise, I still give it 3 stars. It’s a pity, but because of the missing css customization option I threw it down! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/0b120c4d93a66eed8bdf0092f8e382224491d330b4d2b8508988982e4143c242? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Plugin incrível](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-incrivel-10/)󠁿 [D](https://profiles.wordpress.org/subdigus/) 23 de noviembre de 2024 1 respuesta A melhor e mais elegante maneira de exibir postagens populares em seu site.
