    There isn’t currently a widget, but in the future I might consider creating one.

    It is possible for developers to extend this plugin and utilize the data collected if anyone else wants to write a widget and contribute, the plugin is open source!

    Can you please write a simple code for a 5 top shared posts widget? please…. ??
    I am sure that it will increase a lot the use of your plugin since it is something people use, and of course it will help me and I will be really thankful!

    Can you tell me how do I make this code a “shortcode”? In order to display on a text widget..

    And how do I limit that to 5 posts only?

    // Do a meta query
    $args = array(
        'order'         => 'DESC',
        'orderby'       => 'meta_value_num',
        'meta_key'      => 'socialcount_TOTAL',
        'post_status'   => 'publish',
        'post_type'     => 'post'
    );
    
    $wp_query = new WP_Query( $args );
    
    // The Loop
    if ($wp_query->have_posts()) : while ($wp_query->have_posts()) : 
    
        $wp_query->the_post(); 
    
        // DISPLAY POST HERE
    
    endwhile;
    endif;

    Is it possible to display exactly as it shows on the backend?
    Just with a shortcode or a pre-ready widget?
    I think it will be really popular and obvious to have.
    Maybe I would just omit the comments part for the widget, since it is less a priority and less common to see many results as shares and views..
