I want to know whether the posts displays under the Popular stories in the homepage is already programmed to display the posts where the most viewed posts displayed automatically or is it randomly displaying some posts?
Since i have not launched the website, i do not know how it works? Also what about the Main Stories and Editor’s Pick category on the homepage? Is it the latest posts?
No, ‘Popular Stories’ is just the Title of section. It is not programmed to display most view or randomly. All those section (Main Stories, Editor’s Pick, Trending Stories, Popular Stories) will show Latest post initially. You can manage to show each section by category from each setting in customizer.
