    Hi,

    Trying to add a 'most popular' in the content - query filter, or 'most viewed' , but i don't find it in the query 'order by'.  Am i missing something?

    Hi, thank you for your request. Are you referring to posts or products? Posts Extended Grid or Products Grid?

    Hi,

    Posts extended Grid - Query - Order By : no 'most viewed'  

    See screenshot from my other website (made with Soledad)

    "Meest gelezen" = Most read. + showing meta-data 'views'  Block shows most read posts sorted DESC

    Hi,

    Sorry for re-adding info/question

    Searched via phpmyadmin in the database.

    The table wp_postmeta contains an entry 'penci_post_views_count'.  This is used by another theme 'Soledad'.  No other 'count'-field discovered.

    So i think that my new purchased theme TheGem is not capable of showing the total views of a post.  However, i found a block pattern that has the title "Most Popular".  Very strange, and may i ask, how do i display the most popular posts with that block pattern?

    Thanks

    Hi, sorry for this delay because of the weekend. And thank you for sharing these details. 

    TheGem doesn't include the count fields for post views. The "most popular" sidebar post listings are based on the "random" query. Kindly let us know if the count field on post level is a crucial feature for you so we can check how much time is needed for the implementation. Thank you.

    Hi, thanks for your answer.

    The count field on post level is not 'crucial' for me, but let me say 'kind of important' to have the possibility to sort posts on views. Would be very kind to see this implemented.

    Regards, Guy
