Hello Friends, Today I am explaining you that how can we get popular posts or most commented post in wordpress. Yesterday I was working on one project in which I want to find out popular post means most commented post in wordpress So I found one solution of this so I thought to share it on my site. Below is the code by which you can get top 5 popular posts or most commented posts :
<?php $popular_posts = new WP_Query('orderby=comment_count&posts_per_page=5'); ?>
Above is the code by which you can find top 5 most commented posts in $popular_posts and then just use while loop to print 5 top posts or most commented posts.If you want 7 or 10 or any number of posts then just replace number of posts with 5 or 10.
