Hi @dxylott54,
Don’t worry, I understand the problem. Thanks for reporting!
For the time being please disable the “Display excerpt” option while I look into this. I’ll leave a comment here once I’ve found a fix so you can test it out.
Thank you for your reply!
And, thank you for telling me how to deal with it! 🙂
Hi @dxylott54,
I just created a patch to fix this issue and would like your help to verify that it works as expected.
Please follow these instructions and report back your results:
- Download the development version of the plugin.
- Go to Plugins > Add New, then click on the Upload Plugin button.
- Select the zip file you just downloaded and click on Install Now.
- WordPress will detect that the plugin is already installed. Click on “Replace current with uploaded”.
- When it’s done, enable the “Display excerpt” option again and then check your popular posts list.
I have installed the development version of the plugin.
The problem was fixed!
Thank you very much! 🙂
Excellent, that’s good news. I’ll include this patch in the next update which should be out soon.
Thanks for helping out and for reporting the issue!

I am Japanese.
I am not good at English. Sorry.
However, I found a terrible glitch and I am reporting it.
Suppose the source of the article is as follows.
<p>text A</p>
<p><!–more–></p>
<p>text B<p>
(There are two hyphens on either side of “more”. This forum will combine the two hyphens into one hyphen by itself.)
If the article “text A” has a small number of characters and the excerpt has a large number of characters set, the WordPress Popular Posts widget will include “<! –more–>” is included in the source.

Depending on the character count setting of the excerpt, the source would look like this.
https://www.nichepcgamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/more-2.png
The HTML tag is not closed due to “<!–“.
Then the website will be broken as follows.

If you did not understand the English I am saying, please let me know.
I will try my best to convey what I am saying.
