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.
