Deactivating and reactivating the widget did nothing to help. There is still no Popular Posts available.

Thank you for your detailed and professional response. However, I have searched everywhere to find a BlockID and cannot see it. The only field under my Advanced tab is “Additional CCS Class(es)” or I can sometimes see other fields like “Position, Z-Index, Display Mode, Annimation or Raw Custom CSS.”

I did notice that your demo clearly used anchor links, so that is promising, but I still can’t find the right box on my page editor.

Thanks

You first response is incredibly pretentious and quite condescending. Very unprofessional, as is the assumption that I was looking for advice about the appearance of my website which caused you to write a second response with your opinion of what’s wrong with it. Unsolicited advice based on a stranger’s opinion is poor customer service.

I have worked with my theme builder to identify that Gutentor editor does NOT have an obvious ability to create an anchor link as every other page builder does. It is NOT superior in that even the most basic page builder (Classic) can complete this function with ease.

I am unable to add a screenshot to this limited text box. Suffice to say that with other editors I can click on the Advanced tab at the bottom right of the block settings and see an *HTML Anchor* box where I can fill in a word or two to describe the anchor link on a heading. I can then link that hashtag to any button or table of contents. Unfortunately, in Gutentor, that Advanced tab only shows “Additional CCS Class(es)” which will not perform the same function.

My only workaround, thanks to the help of the theme builder, was to use the default heading rather than the Gutentor heading so I could utilize the HTML anchor links as described in this helpful article. This is how I’ve created anchor links in several other websites that do not use Gutentor. https://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/how-to-easily-add-anchor-links-in-wordpress-step-by-step/

I already had the 5.160.1 version installed automatically. Hopefully the error will be resolved as this was an error in the last couple days.

Thank you. I thought the same thing, but thought it was worth checking.
If it were just this plugin that was showing up in the excerpts (10 shares), would you have a recommendation for how to adjust it on your end? Or is it an issue with the sidebar widget plugin exclusively (that was built by the theme)?

The popular posts widget comes with my theme: My Theme Shop Feminine. Only one post seems to be crawling the TOC. The rest are including the shares from my Sassy Social Share plugin feature. I’m not sure if this is a plugin issue or a theme issue to be honest…
