There are several ways to display popular articles on Joomla homepage, depending on the version of Joomla and the extensions used. Here’s a general approach:
1. Determine the criteria for a popular article, such as most viewed, most shared, or highest rated. This can be done through native Joomla functionality or extensions such as JomSocial, K2, or JReviews.
1. Install and enable a module or plugin that can display popular articles on Joomla homepage. Examples of such extensions include Articles Anywhere, RokSprocket, or JoomDev Article Spotlight.
1. Configure the module or plugin settings to select the criteria for popular articles, the number of articles to display, and the layout and styling of the module or plugin.
1. Create a module position on the Joomla homepage where the popular article module or plugin can be displayed. This can be done through the Joomla module manager or template settings.
1. Save the settings and preview the Joomla homepage to see the popular articles display in the designated module position.
1. Optionally, customize the design of the popular article module or plugin to match the look and feel of the Joomla homepage. This can be done through CSS styling or template overrides.
