    Is there a way to modify the HTML markup of the Popular Post View widget? I really only need the title of my locations and I’d rather not have to resort to using 

    display: none;

    .

    Hello,

    A quick solution would be to just copy the whole widget code to your child theme function.php and rename it, that way you will be abel to change any aspect you want.

    Thanks,

    Can you be little more specific about what code to copy? There’s quite a few functions in the geodirectoy_popular_widget.php file so I’m not sure if you’re referring to any specific function or if I just have to copy the entire geodir_popular_post_category class.

    I tried copying and renaming the geodir_popular_postview class as that seems to have the function with the markup, but nothing changes on the frontend and the new widget doesn’t display on the backend.

    Is there a way to sort these alphabetically? Currently it only has sorting by latest, featured, review, rating and random.

    This only seems to work when I’m in the listing-listview.php template. Doesn’t work though when I use the Popular Post View widget. I am using a modified version of it, but the only thing I changed was the HTML markup.

    Gotcha, no I don’t think the popual post view widget offers alphabetc sorting.

    If you already customized the markup, you should be able to also add the new sorting.

    I haven’t tested it, but simply adding the “title” option in the widget list_sort settings should work.

    In the orginal file (geodirectory_popular_widget.php) would be around line 472

    Let us know,

    I tried adding 

    <option <?php if($list_sort == 'title'){ echo 'selected="selected"'; } ?> value="title"><?php _e('Title',GEODIRECTORY_TEXTDOMAIN); ?></option>

    but it didn’t work.

    OK we have actually changed the way the query is run in the next version to avoid colflicts, as such i have added the option to sort by a-z by default.

    Thanks,
