Get Popularity Contest Plugin to Work With Wordpress 2.6
I have pretty much given up getting Daily Top 10 to work with upgrade to Wordpress 2.6 . IN the meantime i am trying similar Popularity Contest - which I think track overall popularity and not daily.
What I like is being able to see o the fly what posts are “breaking out” and popular at any given moment. Usually the same 50 post stay in the top 50 however once in a while something will break out and I can use that information for other posts or blogs and being on the edge of a trend.
There were issues with Wordpress 2.5 and the Popularity Contest Plugin and I the issues falls over onto Wordpress 2.6 as well.
The best way to get it to work is to use a hacked version here . Worked right out of the box for me and i the 1/3 hour I have had it installed it has been fine.
I wold not recommend you upgrade to Wordpress 2.6 now. I have had numerous problems with my plugins and constant server errors, etc.
I am regretting this upgrade more than any upgrade I have ever done up til now.
That is the reason why I hate upgrading my blog. Sometimes I just hope that they stopped at one version and stop upgrading :p

Lisa, I feel your pain. We’re staying away from WP 2.6 right now. A lot of things just didn’t work right. And if you ever plan on adding bbpress to your site - WHOA! That’s even worse - I have a feeling that I’ll be staying with WP 2.5 for a very long time due to massive plug-in issues with WP 2.6.
