I realized that the most voted News do not come up in the first position on my homepage. For example I have News which has been voted 5 times and they are in the first position in Published News but other News which has been voted for more than 50 times, but they are far back in other pages. I believe that the most voted News should come automatically in the first position.

My questions are:

1-am I right that the most voted News should come up in the first position under Published News?

2-If yes, what should I do, that my script works properly.

I appreciate any suggestion.

There is a setting in you admin page to configure the sort order. however, by default, the latest that goes to the frontpage will be listed on the top.

Could you please let me know where I exactly can change that? I appreciate it.

Thanks

Are you sure that you want to do that?

If the most voted stories are on the top then your published-page will be quite static. Now the content stays fresh because everytime a new story is published it goes to the frontpage.
I suggest that you do a tab for most popular stories and keep your published page as it is.

Thank you for your tip. I think you are right and I won´t change anything on my website.

If you decide to change the order, do the following:

Open /index.php and go to line 35 or look for the code bvelow:

if(!isset($_REQUEST['search'])){$search->orderBy = "link_published_date DESC";}

Change it to:

if(!isset($_REQUEST['search'])){$search->orderBy = "link_votes DESC";}
