Abnormal "-1" text in the navbar

    Hi there, currently I’m learning to implement wpp_get_views() to display view count for each post. Following your wiki, I added this piece of code into theme functions file and modifying the display page:

    if (function_exists('wpp_get_views'))
    echo wpp_get_views( get_the_ID() );

    It displayed correctly view counter for each post. But since then my navbar always display text “-1” first (which I suspected a return value from the plugin) as you can see from this link.

    What should I do now? I’m looking forward to your response, thank you.

    Hi!

    The wpp_get_views() template tag will return -1 if the first parameter -the post ID- isn’t numeric or is null/empty. My guess is that get_the_ID() is returning false which is making wpp_get_views return -1 as well.

    For your code to work as it is, you must use it inside the loop.

    So basically I don’t need to paste those code into my theme function, just use it directly in the loop. Your suggestion worked, thank you ??
