I like plugin - query to retrieve liked posts in order of likes WordPress
- SOLVED
Hello,
I've asked this question before [[LINK href="http://wpquestions.com/question/showLoggedIn/id/3433"]]here[[/LINK]] but left it to late to get back to it. Sorry to all those who replied.
So I'm starting a new question using a more simplified plugin based round the same idea.
The plugin 'I like this' simply adds a feature to posts where someone can like a post, but not actually connect with anything outside of wordpress (facebook, digg etc). The plugin can then add a counter to posts when called in the loop.

My question is...
I need a query, on my page template 'most-loved.php' which is used on my 'Most Loved' page, to retrieve only the posts which have had a like hit - and to display in order of the posts with the most likes.
So far my 'most-loved.php' looks like this...
<?php
/**
* Template Name: Most Loved
* @package WordPress
* @subpackage XXX
*/
get_header(); ?>
<?php $mostloved = new WP_Query(); ?>
<?php if ( $mostloved->have_posts()) : while ($mostloved->have_posts()) : $mostloved->the_post(); ?>
// Most Loved Post's Loop contents here...
// Including this for my like counter... <?php if(function_exists(getILikeThis)) getILikeThis('get'); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php next_posts_link(__('MORE LOVED')) ?>
<?php previous_posts_link(__('LESS LOVED')) ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
Can a simple query like this be adapted for what I need it to do.
Person to give me a fully working answer and code will get all the money :-)
Thanks for time, reply any questions if need info.

You can use this query:
$mostloved = new WP_Query(array(
'order' => 'DESC',
'orderby' => 'meta_value',
'meta_key' => '_liked',
'paged' => $paged
) );

Hi Hai, do you have any idea why my page navigation is not working?
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php next_posts_link(__('MORE LOVED')) ?>
<?php previous_posts_link(__('LESS LOVED')) ?>
<?php endif; ?>
I set my query to display one post per page so I could test my pagination...
<?php $mostloved = new WP_Query(array(
'order' => 'DESC',
'orderby' => 'meta_value',
'meta_key' => '_liked',
'paged' => $paged,
'posts_per_page' => '1'
) ); ?>
But no pagination links appear?
