I want to create a View that shows 5 of the most viewed custom post that I've created using Toolset, called Articles.

I referred to https://toolset.com/forums/topic/popular-posts-3/ and already have Post Views Counter plugin activated to collect view count.

However when I created the View and tried to create a Query filter, I don't know which field to use that stores the view count data.

Here's the link to my website: hidden link

Hello,

Thank you for getting in touch.

If the Post View Counter generates a custom field with the view count then you should be able to do this.

What you can do is to confirm with the support team for the Post View Counter plugin to see if the counts are stored in a custom field and if so what is the custom field's name.

I tested on my end and wasn't able to identify the custom field so you will need to contact them for more information. Once you have this then I should be able to say whether it is possible or not.

Thanks,
Shane
