Hellow,

I updated to 1.0.9 and the problem remains. If i enter “views” as the dynamic “order by field” i get only one post displayed, and if i write “post_views” instead i get nothing (while the elementor widget is set to display up to 6 posts’ thumbnails).

I got it to work for a moment by entering “pvc_most_viewed_posts” as a query ID, but after re-installing my plugins i can’t get it to work anymore. So i’m back at square one. Thank you for the support, if you have any ideas on how to display posts by “views” i’m all ears 🙂 .

Kind regards,

Hellow,

Thank you so much for your answer. Well when i cheked for the custom meta fields in the post panel, i didn’t find anything, there is only a data in the settings bar on the right but it doesn’t show a meta field that i can clearly use. Here is a screenshot .

So i went into the “query” file of the plugin “Post View Counter” , and it seems that the meta field would be ” post_views ” . But when i enter ” post_views ” in the Dynamic OrderBy Field of advanced query in the elementor post widget, it becomes empty. My only way to display something is to write ” views ” but then it only display one post.

I’m kind of desperate here. I’ll paste you the query file of the plugin Post Views Counter in case it helps :

<?php

The closest thing that i found about what could possibly solve my problem was this thread : https://wordpress.org/support/topic/neve-single-post-layout-and-elementor/ .

But my problem is not “my homemade template doesn’t display when i choose the default layout”…. no my template shows… however the “post content” block/widget from elementor, that allows me to display the video, doesn’t show it’s content on Neve when the page is in “default display”.

Thank you in advance for anyone who is brave enought to give it a look 🙂
