Create custom page with top posts
5 replies · Started by Angelica on November 18, 2019
I am trying to create a page with top posts but so far all I managed was to create a template and copy the contents of the archive page. Nothing works.
I can handle the query code (gonna use wordpress popular posts query), but no clue as to how to do it using GP.
What I want to achieve: https://anthemes.com/themes/food/popular/
What I have: https://doce.blog.br/top
Hi there,
How are you setting the query right now? In a custom page template? If so, you should just be able to set your necessary options in your WP_Query call.
Let me know :)
I managed to get the query going, the title and description are all set.
But I still get no pagination, no images and no layout like the main blog (I'm using 3 columns).
Home: https://doce.blog.br/
I only copied the index.php template and added:
$query = new WP_Query( 'post_type=post&meta_key=views_weekly&orderby=meta_value_num&order=DESC');
And I have some filters to get my title and custom description for the page:
add_filter( 'get_the_archive_title', function( $title) {
if ( is_page( 'top' ) ) {
$title = get_the_title();
}
return $title;
}, 50 );
add_action( 'generate_after_archive_title', 'teste' );
function teste(){
if ( is_page( 'top' ) ) {
$desc = '<div class="taxonomy-description">ssss%s</div>';
echo get_the_content();
}
}It looks like you're using WP Show Posts now, which is a really good idea. Otherwise, you'll need to add those elements (pagination, featured images, columns) into your page template.
Yes, it works great, I wish it inherited the layout options as well.
It's an amazing plugin, Tom.
Glad you like it! :)
