It seems that as my homepage is not the default index.php but a wordpress page, the data in the $posts is the page data and not the posts data. As a result, in the get_current_posts() functions the line $ids[] = $post->ID was filling the array with the page id. The solution I found was to retrieve the post id on my template as told in the <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop#Multiple_Loops_in_Action">wp codex</a>, replace the line 1314 with: global $wpdb, $posts, $do_not_duplicate; and replace the $ids[] = $post->ID; line with the following code: if($do_not_duplicate) { $ids[] = $do_not_duplicate; } else { $ids[] = $post->ID; } I’ve been doing some investigation and found the problem.

Our most popular are pretty stagnant. I'd love a simple solution, if possible, for have an option of most popular this week, or this month, etc. I see the mod listed above, but don't know if I can handle that kind of coding.

Or to simply discard older posts? We have some evergreen posts that got a lot of traffic long ago and so the "most popular" list is practically etched in stone, making it nearly useless for a news site like ours. We want "what are people reading and linking most now" not a hall of fame. Adding a weight for date would be handy, so it could slowly de-emphasize older posts.
