Top Posts & Pages Widget

The Top Posts & Pages Widget allows you to display either your most liked posts or up to ten posts that have received the most traffic in the past 48 hours.

To use this widget, you’ll first need to activate the Extra Sidebar Widgets feature.

Here’s an example of what the widget looks like:

Top Posts Widget

Configuring the Widget

Add the Top Posts & Pages Widget to the sidebar of your choice.

Customize the Widget

In addition to the options available in the widget options, you can use filters to customize the look of the widget on your site:

Display the widget anywhere on your site

You can use the jetpack_top_posts_widget shortcode in posts and pages. You can also add that shortcode directly to your theme template files, like so:

echo do_shortcode( '[jetpack_top_posts_widget]' ); 

Troubleshooting

Why isn’t my Top Post Widget updating?

The lack of updates to the Top Posts Widget may be related to an expired transient on your site not being deleted as it should be. Try installing the following plugin:

Transients Manager


(Please note that this is a third-party plugin. Since we are not the developers/owners, we cannot troubleshoot it, nor are we responsible for updating it).

Once installed, search for any transient that starts with jetpack_restapi_stats_cache_ followed by a random string of characters. After locating it, please delete it and re-check your Top Post Widget.
