Here’s how! List Popular Posts You can highlight your popular content in multiple ways. If you want to feature the posts with the most comments, use: [display-posts orderby="comment_count"] You can also list most popular posts by social shares. Include thumbnails, excerpts, and more The display parameters let you control what information is displayed for each post. To include an image and summary, use: [display-posts include_excerpt="true" image_size="thumbnail"] You can use any image size added by WordPress (thumbnail, medium, medium_large, large) OR any custom image size added by your theme or other plugins. Sort the list however you like By default the listing will list the newest content first, but you can order by title, menu order, relevance, content type, metadata, and more.

PSA: The classic WP Popular Posts widget has reached End-of-Life The classic WP Popular Posts widget doesn’t work very well / at all with the block-based Widgets editor introduced with WordPress 5.8. This new Widgets editor expects WordPress blocks instead of regular WordPress widgets. If you’re using the classic WP Popular Posts widget please replace it with the WP Popular Posts block instead – it has the same features and functionality as the “classic” widget so you won’t be missing anything at all. See the Migration Guide for more details. Bjorn from wplearninglab.com was kind enough to create a video explaining how to use the new block for all of you visual learners: If you cannot (or do not want to) use WordPress blocks on your website then please replace your classic widget with the [wpp] shortcode.
