Use WordPress Popular Posts on the homepage

Hi
I am using WordPress Popular Posts on my Newsmag site and I am not finding a way how to put a widget on the homepage with the visual composer.

The plugin provides a php query function like this ( <?php wpp_get_mostpopular( ‘header=”Popular Posts”‘ ); ?> )

But I don’t know how to put in on my homepage with my visual composer.

Has anyone a way to do this?

Thanks in advanced

If only shortcodes would work in visual composer 🙁 ….

Anyone?

Maybe create a sidebar, and put a text box in there with the shortcode?

Use the pure HTML/code option box in Visual Composer?

Or,
perhaps try using Google – great resource for learning WordPress?

Yeah on a single post view I can use textbox in the widget and that works 100%

But when I am on the homepage I cannot put the shortcode inside there. Just doesn’t show up.

Ah, so you have tried the instructions provided by the Visual Composer folks – since shortcodes *do* work in visual composer if done properly, and also tried the various raw HTML, and coding boxes found in the site builder when setting up home page?

Perhaps problem with the shortcode conflicting with something.

Oh well, maybe official tech support might be able to help sort it for you.

Cheers!

Ahh yeah of course!!! Did not see that 😀

Thank you both Lucian and Chris for the help
