    There are many ways to display most popular posts – you need to decide what method works best for you.

    If you want to use “comment count” as a proxy for popularity (the most popular posts have the most comments), you can sort by comment count like this:

    [display-posts orderby="comment_count" order="DESC"]

    If you want to use social sharing (like Facebook likes), first install EA Share Count and use that for your social sharing buttons on your site, then use this shortcode:

    [display-posts orderby="meta_value_num" meta_key="ea_share_count_total" order="DESC"]

    If you want to use pageviews, first install Jetpack, enable the Site Stats module, then install BE Stats, and then use this shortcode:

    [display-posts orderby="popular"]
