Hello, I bought your Post Grid plugin recently, and I really like it. Great work. The only thing I cannot figure out at the moment is how to generate a grid of popular posts. I read this thread:

Popular Posts

It seems like I should choose the options:
Post query orderby > Meta value (number)

But there is no information about the meta key field and what to insert there.

Could you please help me with this?

Welcome to our forum.

I just checked the plugin, can see they don't use meta key to save view count, they create custom table on the database to save views data, so I don't see any possible way to integrate with our plugin to display popular post.

I hope you understand,

The only way to display popular post by override query arguments via filter hook available in pur plugin, please see this documentation,

https://pickplugins.com/documentation/post-grid/filter-hooks/post_grid_query_args/

 

you will need to ask their support to get popular post ids as an array, so you can integrate with our plugin via filter hook.

Regards
