Hi, We are currently setting up our own discourse forum and I would like to know whether there is a way to see which posts received the most likes. I looked for such feature in the statistics overview but couldn’t find anything. Then again, I might have not looked properly as I am still only getting used to all these features. Thanks for your help!

You aren’t using the correct search syntax. In the post from @dax the search term offered is in:likes whereas in your screenshots you’re adding a space and searching for in: likes - you’re adding a space between the operator and argument. Spot the difference: [space] [nospace] Look at the right hand side - when used correctly in:likes searches for posts you have liked. It automatically checks that box. When you add the space you’re actually searching for posts which contain the word likes: [likes] Presumably the post with 22 likes doesn’t include the word likes, so wouldn’t be returned by the search query. Edit: Confirmed, I just found the topic in question on unstuckpolitics.com. It won’t be returned for a query which it doesn’t match.

Easy way: discourse.example.com/?order=likes (likes gives in all topics) discourse.example.com/?order=op_likes (likes gives in OP topic aka first post of each topic) or discourse.example.com/search type in:likes and order results by “most liked” [image] Hard way: write a query for this and use Data Explorer plugin

[image] dax: or discourse.example.com/search type in:likes and order results by “most liked” This doesn’t seem to work properly. If I go to my user page here, this is a list of my most liked posts: [image] If I use search to find my most liked posts, my four most liked posts don’t appear [image]

Ok, so if that query is a list of posts I’ve liked and not my most liked posts, why does it return any of my posts? And what about this search from our forum. If I search for most liked posts I get [image] I don’t understand why this post isn’t on the list. 22 likes is more than 21. [image]

[image] smrtey: so if that query is a list of posts I’ve lik Is there a way to find list of all the posts made by an ‘example’ user, which has/have been liked by at least one other member?

Can I see in the statistics which post received the most likes

You cannot like your own post so your search query makes no sense..
