    Hi,

    I’m trying to change the sort-by from “comments” to “views”, and to include “range-all”, where should I change in my script (below)? The below script is created by my ex-programmer but he’s no longer helping me. Can anyone help to advise me?

    <div id="popularpost">

            <img src="https://xxxxxxx.com/wp-content/themes/premiumpixels/images/popular-post.png" style="padding:0 0 0 25px;"/>

            <ul id="popular-comments">
            <?php
            $pc = new WP_Query('orderby=comment_count&posts_per_page=7'); ?>

            <?php while ($pc->have_posts()) : $pc->the_post(); ?>

<li>
            <div id="popular-img"><a>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_post_thumbnail(array(10,10)); ?></a></div>

            <div id="popular-cmts">

            <a>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>" style="font-size:13px;"><?php the_title(); ?></a>

                <div class="popcmts">

                <?php the_time('F j, Y') ?> . <?php comments_popup_link('No Comments;', '1 Comment', '% Comments'); ?>

                </div></li>

    Hi Hector,

    Thanks so much for your prompt reply. I desperately need help as I’m not familiar with coding at all. Not too sure how to wrap the code. I believe my ex-programmer has messed up my coding. Will the changes work below? I need to add :

    order_by="views"
range="all"
stats_views=1

<div id="popularpost">

            <img src="https://womenlovebeauty.com/wp-content/themes/premiumpixels/images/popular-post.png" style="padding:0 0 0 25px;"/>

            <ul id="popular-views">
            <?php
            $pc = new WP_Query('count&posts_per_page=7'); ?>

            <?php (order_by="views") : (range="all"); ?>

            <?php while ($pc->have_posts()) : $pc->the_post(); ?>

<li>
            <div id="popular-img"><a>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_post_thumbnail(array(10,10)); ?></a></div>

            <div id="popular-cmts">

            <a>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>" style="font-size:13px;"><?php the_title(); ?></a>

                <div class="popcmts">

                <?php the_time('F j, Y') ?> . <?php comments_popup_link('No Comments;', '1 Comment', '% Comments'); ?>

                </div></li>

    Hi shirleenhoe,

    To wrap your code, select it all and press the code button.

    Now, back to the topic: the problem is that the sorting options you’re trying to use only work with my plugin, it’s not a WordPress feature. That’s why your code doesn’t work as you expected. That code you have there is a custom one made by your ex-programmer.
