Overall

Daily

This will try to prevent W3 Total Cache and other caching plugins from caching the tracker script of the plugin. Try toggling this option in case you find that your posts are not tracked.

If activated, Top 10 will use the Transients API to cache the popular posts output for 1 hour.

Daily counter will display number of visits from midnight. This option is checked by default and mimics the way most normal counters work. Turning this off will allow you to use the hourly setting in the next option.

Think of Daily Popular has a custom date range applied as a global setting. Instead of displaying popular posts from the past day, this setting lets you display posts for as many days or as few hours as you want. This can be overridden in the widget.

If this is checked, all settings related to Top 10 are removed from the database if you choose to uninstall/delete the plugin.

If this is checked, the tables containing the counter statistics are removed from the database if you choose to uninstall/delete the plugin.

Keep this unchecked if you choose to reinstall the plugin and don't want to lose your counter data.

This will add the Top 10 metabox on Edit Posts or Add New Posts screens. Also applies to Pages and Custom Post Types.

If this is selected, the metabox will be hidden from anyone who is not an Admin. Otherwise, by default, Contributors and above will be able to see the metabox. This applies only if the above option is selected.

A link to the plugin is added as an extra list item to the list of popular posts
