The (Govintra) Most liked widget lists the posts your staff have liked the most, as a compact set of rows with a date next to each one, wherever you place it. It only appears in the list of available widgets when likes are switched on for the site; if likes are off, the widget is not just hidden but absent from the Widgets screen altogether.
Add the Most liked widget
- Go to Appearance, then Widgets.
- Find (Govintra) Most liked in the list of available widgets and add it to a widget area, such as Homepage second column. See Setup widgets on the homepage.
- Change the settings and select Save.
Which posts the widget shows
