Hi there,  
I’m using the Sparkling Popular Posts Widget but I’m having issues with the count. I feel it has frozen long time ago and does not calculate accurately the count.  
Others popular posts, shows a very different story.

Any way for me to check this and how to correct it?  
Any way to reinitialize the count?

Thank you!

Hi @karibu,

Thank you for your question.

The Sparkling Popular Posts Widget displays posts depending on the posts comment count so the more the comments post have then it means the post is more popular.

If you want to display popular posts based on post views then you can use the widget provided by following plugin.

> **[WP Popular Posts](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-popular-posts/)**
