Question

Hi,

I have custom fields with image from posts, and I want to display the top 5 posts sorting by views. I am using WordPress, can you help me please?

Sorry for my bad English.

Thanks.

There’s one error with Xhynk’s reference:

The query it runs returns posts in alphabetical order (1, 2, 20, 23, 3, 4, etc)

You just need to change

'orderby' => 'wpb_post_views_count'

to

'orderby' => 'meta_value_num'

For the top 5, use:

$popularpost  = new WP_Query(array(
    'posts_per_page' => 5,
    'meta_key' => 'wpb_post_views_count',
    'orderby' => 'meta_value_num',
    'order' => 'DESC'
));
