If you need to display the post thumbnail, then why not use the Thumbnail settings in the plugin page?
Because e.g. it’s also outputting an <a> tag wrapping the <img> tag. All I want is the <img> tag and also it contains custom style for dimensions which are conflicting with my CSS.

You could write a function that only extracts out the top posts and then uses query posts to get the posts and loop through them in the format you want.
tptn_pop_posts( 'posts_only=1');
This would give you an array of the post ids of the top posts. I’ll be introducing a new function that would make it a bit cleaner, but this is a good option to try for now.
Sorry but I don’t think I understand what I’m supposed to do 😡 I’m not really good at php

Hi, it requires writing custom code in your theme files.
Please see this thread of what a user has done: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/meta-valuecustom-field-name-for-wp-query-sorting?replies=12
Tried to achieve something but no output. All I really want is to be able to define the output, like as if it was inside a loop. I saw what the user tried to do but it’s not working for me.

What is the code you’ve tried to use. Please note that this goes into advanced coding
I tried this
<?php
$top_posts = tptn_pop_posts( 'posts_only=1&limit=3' );
$top_posts_array = wp_list_pluck( $top_posts, 'postnumber' );
$args = array(
'order' => 'DESC',
'orderby' => 'meta_value',
'post__in' => $top_posts_array,
);
$loop = new WP_Query( $args );
?>
<?php while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post(); ?>
<img src="<?php $url = get_post_thumbnail_id(); $url = wp_get_attachment_image_src($url,'large'); $url = $url[0]; echo $url; ?>">
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
But it’s not going by the correct order, I mean, it’s not ordering from the most viewed to the least viewed and, also, the limit tag is not working, it’s showing all posts viewed at least once.

Please try this?
<?php
$top_posts = tptn_pop_posts( 'posts_only=1&limit=3&strict_limit=1' );
$top_posts_array = wp_list_pluck( $top_posts, 'postnumber' );
$args = array(
'post__in' => $top_posts_array,
);
$loop = new WP_Query( $args );
?>
<?php while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post(); ?>
<img src="<?php $url = get_post_thumbnail_id(); $url = wp_get_attachment_image_src($url,'large'); $url = $url[0]; echo $url; ?>">
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
Hi again! First of all thanks for your time.
The limit is now working, but it’s still displaying by newest to older, instead of higher views to lower views :\

Could you please try:
$args = array(
'post__in' => $top_posts_array,
'orderby' => 'post__in',
);
It works now 🙂 Thank you very much for your time!
