## Priskribo
Mostify is a fast, no-bloat popular-posts plugin that turns your WordPress views
and comments into ranked lists you can drop anywhere via shortcode, widget, or Gutenberg
block.
It uses a pre-aggregated bucket schema (one row per post per time bucket) so ranking
queries stay snappy even on sites with millions of pageviews — no on-the-fly aggregation,
no JOIN fan-out, no slow `wp_postmeta` scans.
#### Highlights
* **Page-views counter** — AJAX tracking with bot detection, per-visitor cookie
deduplication, and a `mostify_should_track_view` filter for custom rules.
* **Comments counter** — counts approved comments (auto-approved + admin-approved
transitions).
* **Time-period rankings** — `today`, `yesterday`, `past_24_hours`, `this_week`,`
last_week`, `past_7_days`, `this_month`, `last_month`, `past_30_days`, `this_year`,`
last_year`, `past_12_months`, `all_time`.
* **Custom periods** — build any window via `custom_hours_N`, `custom_days_N`, `
custom_months_N`.
* **4 list styles** — simple, bars, cards, medal (top-3 medal emoji).
* **Multi-tab layouts** — show several time periods side by side in one block,
each tab with its own period and sort order. Choose from 4 tab styles: horizontal
tabs, vertical tabs, horizontal accordion, vertical accordion. Leave tabs empty
to render a single period exactly as before.
* **10 color presets** — ocean, sunset, forest, berry, fire, midnight, coral, arctic,
earth, neon — plus theme inheritance and custom CSS.
* **Views migration** — one-click import of lifetime view counts from popular counter
plugins so you can switch to Mostify without resetting your rankings to zero.
Supports WordPress Popular Posts, Post Views Counter, WP-PostViews, WP Statistics,
Top 10 — Popular Posts, and Jetpack Stats. Runs as a batched background job with
live progress.
* **Display surfaces** — shortcode `[mostify]`, classic widget, server-rendered
Gutenberg block, post-editor meta box, auto-insert into the_content.
* **Admin chart** — per-post hourly / daily / monthly histogram with period switcher.
* **Performance** — 3-tier cache (request memo + object cache + transient), optional
batch-write buffer for high-traffic sites.
* **Capabilities** — role-based access via the `mostify_edit` and `mostify_view`
capabilities.
* **Privacy** — no third-party tracking. View tracking happens entirely on your
own server.
### Privacy
Mostify stores anonymous, per-post view counts on your own database. No personal
data, no IP addresses, and no third-party services are involved. The view-tracking
AJAX endpoint sets a single first-party cookie (`mostify_v_`, default 3-
hour TTL) used solely for deduplication; cookie name and TTL are filterable. The
plugin makes no outbound HTTP calls.
## Blocks
This plugin provides 1 block.
* Mostify Ranking
## Instalo
1. Upload the `mostify` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`, **or** install directly
from the WordPress admin via _Plugins Add New Search “Mostify”_.
2. Activate through the _Plugins_ screen.
3. Visit _Settings Mostify_ to configure tracking and view the shortcode builder.
4. Drop the shortcode anywhere:
5. [mostify counter=”views” limit=”10″ period=”this_week”]
6. …or build a multi-tab ranking that switches between several periods:
7. [mostify counter=”views” limit=”5″ tabs=”Today:today:DESC,This Week:this_week:DESC,
All Time:all_time:DESC” tab_style=”tabs-horizontal”]
8. …or use _Appearance Widgets_ to drop the **Mostify — Popular Posts** widget into
a sidebar, or insert the **Mostify Ranking** block in the Gutenberg editor.
## OD
### Does the plugin call any external service?
No. View tracking, ranking queries, and chart rendering all happen on your own server.
The plugin makes no outbound HTTP calls.
### How are page views counted?
A small JavaScript snippet sends a one-shot AJAX request after the page loads. The
server checks a per-visitor cookie (3-hour window by default, filterable) and a
User-Agent allowlist before incrementing the counter. Admins can be excluded via
_Settings Mostify Exclude admins from tracking_.
### Is bot traffic excluded?
Yes — there’s a built-in User-Agent allowlist covering the long tail of search-engine
crawlers, AI scrapers, social link-preview fetchers, and CLI/programmatic clients.
You can extend it with the `mostify_bot_patterns` filter.
### I already use another view-counter plugin. Can I keep my existing counts?
Yes. When Mostify detects a supported counter plugin — WordPress Popular Posts,
Post Views Counter, WP-PostViews, WP Statistics, Top 10 — Popular Posts, or Jetpack
Stats — a migration banner appears at the top of _Settings Mostify Counter_. Click**
Import** to copy each post’s lifetime view total into Mostify. The import runs in
the background in batches with a live progress bar, so you can leave the page and
come back. When it finishes, Mostify reminds you to deactivate the old plugin to
avoid double-counting. You can also register your own source via the `mostify_views_migration_adapters`
filter.
### Can I show more than one time period at once?
Yes — that’s what multi-tab layouts are for. Add tabs in the widget form, the block’s
_Tabs_ panel, or the shortcode’s `tabs` attribute (`Name:period:Sort` pairs separated
by commas). Each tab gets its own period and sort order. Pick a `tab_style` of `
tabs-horizontal`, `tabs-vertical`, `accordion-horizontal`, or `accordion-vertical`.
Leave tabs empty and Mostify renders a single period exactly as before.
### Can I customize the rendered HTML?
Yes. The renderer exposes `mostify_render_html`, `mostify_list_html`, and `mostify_list_item_html`
filters so themes can swap markup, inject columns, or override empty-state output.
### Does it work with caching plugins?
The view-tracking AJAX call happens after the page is delivered, so static-cached
HTML still triggers a fresh tracking call per visitor. Ranking queries use a 5-minute
transient + object-cache layer that any cache plugin can extend.
### How do I report a bug?
Use the _Support_ tab on the [Mostify plugin directory page](https://wordpress.org/plugins/mostify/).
