 * I am using the famous WP-PostViews plugin, which already comes with a function
   to call the most-viewed posts.
 *     ```
       <?php if (function_exists('get_most_viewed')): ?>
          <ul>
             <?php get_most_viewed(); ?>
          </ul>
       <?php endif; ?>
       ```
   
 * My question is: how to use the function `get_most_viewed` and create a shortcode
   for it in function.php?
 * I am no programmer and this task is beyond my current range to tackle.

 * Allow me to clarify:
 * Except for creating a short code, is there any other means to **run PHP script
   directly from the post content**?
