 * Dear support,
 * I can’t seem to locate where I can change the default product sorting for my 
   product catalog to most popular. I have removed default sorting under Product
   Catalog > Layout > Remove Product Sorting but the catalog is still being sorted
   by default sorting and not by most popular (if I choose most popular from the
   list again it will do it). In the image below you can see which setting I am 
   looking for.

 * Thanks a lot for your help!

 * Hi [@sandraoest](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sandraoest/),
 * Thank you for reaching out to us.
 * Upon checking with your shop page, it shows that your chosen default sorting 
   that is “by popularity” is working properly as it should.
 * The sorting dropdown shows like this at shop page’s first load: [https://i.snipboard.io/Z0YG5H.jpg](https://i.snipboard.io/Z0YG5H.jpg).
 * Did you see something different at your end?

 * Hi Kharis,
 * Thank you for your quick response.
 * The products that appear in the catalogue at shop page’s first load aren’t my
   most popular products. If you choose another sorting and choose popular products
   again, you see the products change. This is why I think the default product sorting
   would need to be changed for the catalogue to show the correct most popular products.
 * Thanks a lot for your help!
 * Best,
   Sandra

 * Thank you for getting back, Sandra!
 * For your information, products sorting feature is defaulted to WooCommerce and
   there is nothing to do with Botiga theme. To verify this, if you can you may 
   temporarily switching to one of default WordPress themes in private or troubleshooting
   mode.
 * P.S.: Troubleshooting mode can only be enabled with additional plugin. Try [https://wordpress.org/plugins/search/site+health/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/search/site+health/)

 * Hi Kharis,
 * I couldn’t find the option to change the default product sorting in the Woocommerce
   settings. According to article’s online its supposed to be found in **Customizer
   → WooCommerce → Product Catalog**. In the Botiga theme there is no such option
   so I believe it’s theme related that I can’t change it.
 * Do you mean that if I install a plugin and change the setting in the troubleshooting
   mode it will also change it in the normal mode? Because that is what I want to
   do.
 * Best,
   Sandra
