@Peter – click on Edit next to the plugin on the Plugins page in the Admin panel, and near the top of the code you’ll see this section:

// Change this to “0″ below if you don’t want to show each post’s popularity with the post content

@define(’AKPC_SHOWPOP’, 0);

You can see I changed it to 0, and that causes it not to show up in each post. Hope that helps!

Thanks for the post. The plugins work well. One question though. I see that you don’t have King’s little popularity parenthetical at the bottom of each post. How do we rid ourselves of that?

I’ve got everything in this post implemented.. I figured out where to add the zeros in the php – I’m just not sure where to change the posts that show from 1 to 5. I know it’s probably something simple that I missed somewhere in the php. I’ll just go back and read slower. Thanks!

Thank you for sharing this topic with us Randa. It’s very useful to me. Now if I can just figure out a good plug-in for people that want to subscribe to my comments via e-mail. (One that jives with the latest version of WP) Thanks Again!!

@Jordan – I think having both in the sidebar is a good idea. The most popular plugin does allow you to decide how the “score” is assigned to posts, so if you don’t want traffic to be the main driver, it’s easy to give that a lower weight in the formula.
