Hi all

Is it possible to display the most popular posts using a WP_Query

This is the code I’m using to display posts.

<?php
$idea_args  = array(
	'post_type' => 'post',
	'order' => 'ASC',
	'post_status' => 'delivered'
);

$idea_loop = new WP_Query($idea_args);

if($idea_loop->have_posts()):
	while($idea_loop->have_posts()):
		$idea_loop->the_post();

?>

<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">
	<div class="ideasContainer__idea">
		<h3><?php echo the_title();?></h3>
		<p><?php echo the_content(); ?></p>
	</div>
</a>	

<?php
endwhile;
endif;
?>

<?php wp_reset_postdata(); ?>

I would like to create this html structure but for the most popular posts

<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">
	<div class="ideasContainer__idea">
		<h3><?php echo the_title();?></h3>
		<p><?php echo the_content(); ?></p>
	</div>
</a>

Can I query the Like Button in the query or how would I create this html structure while displaying the most popular post.

There is a recipe for query_posts function:
