Tutorial 1
Use this code in functions.php
function rm_post_view_count(){ if ( is_single() ){ global $post; $count_post = esc_attr( get_post_meta( $post->ID, '_post_views_count', true) ); if( $count_post == ''){ $count_post = 1; add_post_meta( $post->ID, '_post_views_count', $count_post); }else{ $count_post = (int)$count_post + 1; update_post_meta( $post->ID, '_post_views_count', $count_post); } } } add_action('wp_head', 'rm_post_view_count');
Or use this code in your single.php
if ( is_single() ){ global $post; $count_post = esc_attr( get_post_meta( $post->ID, '_post_views_count', true) ); if( $count_post == ''){ $count_post = 1; add_post_meta( $post->ID, '_post_views_count', $count_post); }else{ $count_post = (int)$count_post + 1; update_post_meta( $post->ID, '_post_views_count', $count_post); } }
then use this code for display post counter
global $post; $visitor_count = get_post_meta( $post->ID, '_post_views_count', true); if( $visitor_count == '' ){ $visitor_count = 0; } if( $visitor_count >= 1000 ){ $visitor_count = round( ($visitor_count/1000), 2 ); $visitor_count = $visitor_count.'k'; } echo esc_attr($visitor_count);
Tutorial 2
Add this code your functions.php
// function to display number of posts. function getPostViews($postID){ $count_key = 'post_views_count'; $count = get_post_meta($postID, $count_key, true); if($count==''){ delete_post_meta($postID, $count_key); add_post_meta($postID, $count_key, '0'); return "0 View"; } return $count.' Views'; } // function to count views. function setPostViews($postID) { $count_key = 'post_views_count'; $count = get_post_meta($postID, $count_key, true); if($count==''){ $count = 0; delete_post_meta($postID, $count_key); add_post_meta($postID, $count_key, '0'); }else{ $count++; update_post_meta($postID, $count_key, $count); } } // Add it to a column in WP-Admin add_filter('manage_posts_columns', 'posts_column_views'); add_action('manage_posts_custom_column', 'posts_custom_column_views',5,2); function posts_column_views($defaults){ $defaults['post_views'] = __('Views'); return $defaults; } function posts_custom_column_views($column_name, $id){ if($column_name === 'post_views'){ echo getPostViews(get_the_ID()); } }
Add this code to single.php
<?php setPostViews(get_the_ID()); ?>
Add this code for display post counter
<?php echo getPostViews(get_the_ID()); ?>
