Query Loop for Comments?

Hi Marty,

What’s easily possible through custom code is to order the Query Loop by the most comments.

Ordering posts by the most recent comments would be more complicated and out of our scope.

Getting the users with the most comments is not a feature available in the GB Query Loop. You’ll need a custom code for this. I found this article which may help: https://www.isitwp.com/display-user-with-the-most-comments/

Add cu-query-loop-com to the class list of the Grid Block under the Query loop.

Then, add this Snippet:

add_filter( 'generateblocks_query_loop_args', function( $query_args, $attributes ) {
    if (
        ! empty( $attributes['className'] ) &&
        strpos( $attributes['className'], 'cu-query-loop-com' ) !== false
    ) {
        return array_merge( $query_args, array(
            'orderby' => 'comment_count',
            'order' => 'DESC',
        ) );
    }

    return $query_args;

}, 10, 2 );
