Featured post and Popular post

Hi @fokhrulabedin

Thank you for your question. To clarify, are you asking how to display featured posts and popular posts in different sections of your WordPress site? Additionally, are you also asking for a way to display posts from specific categories in different parts of your site? Please provide more details or specific examples of where you would like these posts to be displayed, such as in widgets, custom sections, or specific pages, so that I can provide you with the most accurate assistance.

Kind Regards

I want to add popular post in the right side bar, and also want to add post by category in the right side bar.

Hi @fokhrulabedin

To add popular posts and posts by category to the right sidebar in WordPress, you can follow these steps:

Popular Posts:

Install and activate a popular posts plugin, such as “WordPress Popular Posts” or “Jetpack – Popular Posts.”
Configure the plugin settings according to your preferences, including the number of popular posts to display and any specific criteria for popularity (e.g., based on views or comments).
Once configured, the plugin will provide you with a shortcode or widget that you can add to the right sidebar using a widget area or a custom widget.
Posts by Category:

Install and activate a category-specific posts plugin, such as “Category Specific RSS feed Subscription” or “List category posts.”
Configure the plugin settings to select the desired category and customize any other display options.
Similar to the popular posts plugin, the category-specific posts plugin will provide a shortcode or widget that you can use to add the posts by category to the right sidebar.
To add these elements to the right sidebar, follow these general steps:

Access your WordPress dashboard.
Navigate to “Appearance” -> “Widgets.”
Locate the “Sidebar” or “Right Sidebar” widget area.
Drag and drop the “Text” widget into the widget area.
Configure the “Text” widget by adding the shortcode or widget provided by the popular posts or category-specific posts plugin.
Save the changes.
After completing these steps, you should see the popular posts and posts by category displayed in the right sidebar of your WordPress website.

Remember to choose plugins that are compatible with your current version of WordPress and regularly update them for security and functionality. Additionally, feel free to explore other popular post and category-specific post plugins available in the WordPress Plugin Directory to find the one that best suits your needs.

I hope this helps! If you have any further questions, feel free to ask.

Kind Regards
