Got the Bugger Back!

    After wasting a day looking for other popular posts grids, I noticed on my page builder (WPBakery) that there was a guttenberg editor hidden away at the bottom of the modules.

    So I swiched off my classic editor for five minutes to use the block editor, threw in the supplied shortcode from my old widget, and it all fired up straight away!

    Good what you can do when there’s a bullet pressed against your head, innit?

    That’s good news!

    If you can use the Gutenberg Editor though (I had no idea WPBakery could do that, it’s been years since I last used it) then I’d recommend using the WordPress Popular Posts block as it’s easier to use if you ever need to change anything (it works exactly the same way as the classic widget so everything should feel familiar.)

    On the other hand, if you think you won’t ever need to make any changes then the shortcode will do the job as well.

    In any case, good job!

    Hi @hcabrera

    I’m not touching anymore of Gutenberg, so I’ll stick with the shortcode.

    Seems that the code superimposed on the old widget was a godsend after all.

    One thing that hasn’t come back thogh is the sidebar widget with thumbnails the recent posts widget and the random posts widget (both using WPP) are still live, but the popular (trending) posts widget seems to have died.

    *edit*

    I tell a lie – I also found a superimposed code in the sidebar widget.

    This code didn’t seem to be as twitchy as the one on the full page, as I just added the code to a text widget and again, it worked first time.
