Descrizione

MNP Newsroom allows you to display trending content on your site using a performance-focused approach.
Instead of querying the main database on every page load, it uses a dedicated lightweight table and the WordPress REST API to serve data asynchronously.
This plugin is designed to minimize server load on high-traffic websites.

Key Features

Performance: Data is loaded via AJAX (REST API) to avoid caching conflicts.
Smart Tracking: Visits are counted after a configurable delay (default 3 seconds) to improve accuracy.
Bot Handling: Logic included to detect common bots and prevent them from inflating view counts.
Time Ranges: Filter posts by Today (24h), Trending (48h), or Week (7 days).
Customization: Includes a custom CSS editor and multiple layouts (Image Left, Right, or Text Only).

FAQ

I updated from an older version and the widget disappeared.: We updated the shortcode prefix for security reasons. Please replace [mis_populares] with [mnpn_populares] in your widgets or pages.
