I have jetpack and the stats installed but I am not getting any results when I add the sort order to the block.
AFAIK Jetpack Stats aren’t supported for NewsMag. There’s a code tweak for newspaper, but we’ve not seen anyone from Tagdiv recommend it.
We also have problems with the popular articles block though, the supplied code doesn’t work with our host (WPEngine) and they’ve yet to provide an alternative. Using Jetpack stats isn’t ideal, for one it doesn’t filter by type, which means pages including your home page, can appear in the results.
Hi
@ieanea please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com with your site login details so we can take a closer look at this issue, also include a link to this topic.
@pixeldynamo Jetpack Stats isn’t supported yet by Newsmag theme, we will add this in the next theme update.
I am not sure at what code are you referring so please provide more details about it or a link where we can access it, so we can take a look.
Thanks!
Thanks, just sent an email.
Sorry, I should have posted in Newspaper. I just recently changed from Newsmag to Newspaper.

I’m referring to the native popular articles code in the theme. It doesn’t work with WPEngine sites.
Hi
The popular sort works only if the post views from theme panel > post settings is enabled: http://screencast.com/t/iqu4iMFwwO and if you’re using a cache plugin it’s best to enable the ajax post count: http://screencast.com/t/CF8axlR0c
Thanks!
Post views have to be shown publicly for the module to work?
Ajax is already enabled.
Hi
The theme doesn’t have an option to keep the post views active but hidden in the same time, but you can use this css in theme panel custom css to achieve that:
.td-post-views {
display: none;
}
Thanks!
