Adding counts in pages?

Hi there,

I don’t remember how that [wpp_views_count] worked to be honest so if you could share the link to the topic where you saw it I might be able to help out.

Nevermind, I found the topic: Show wpp_get_views() with shortcode. I forgot I even pinned it haha.

The reason why that shortcode doesn’t work on pages is because it’s using the is_single() conditional which doesn’t work for pages. Change it to is_singular() and it’ll work for pages too:

/**
 * Registers the shortcode [wpp_views_count].
 *
 * @author Hector Cabrera (https://cabrerahector.com)
 * @return string
 */
function wpp_views_count_func() {
    if (
        function_exists('wpp_get_views')
        && is_singular()
    ) {
        $views_count = wpp_get_views( get_the_ID() );
        return ($views_count == 1) ? '1 view' : $views_count . ' views';
    }

    return '';
}
add_shortcode( 'wpp_views_count', 'wpp_views_count_func' );

Yes, this way shows overall count. You plan to update it to show overall, and today views on pages? Something better looking?

Awesome, thanks for reporting back.

No, I have no plans to do that as that shortcode was something I wrote for another plugin user on request. It’s not part of the main plugin.

If you want to extend it and/or improve its design you’re free to do so. Check the documentation of the wpp_get_views() function to learn how to get data for other time ranges.

If you have any other questions don’t hesitate to ask.

That’s hard for me. If you can fast update it the way i need it, would be awesome. Even if you can enable it in your pages by placing it top, mid and bottom. If not, everything is fine. ??

Alright, I’ll help you out a bit.

To have the shortcode display total views + views from the last 24 hours you can do this:

/**
 * Registers the shortcode [wpp_views_count].
 *
 * @author Hector Cabrera (https://cabrerahector.com)
 * @return string
 */
function wpp_views_count_func() {
    if (
        function_exists('wpp_get_views')
        && is_singular()
    ) {
        $total_views_count = wpp_get_views(get_the_ID());
        $total_views_count = (1 == $total_views_count) ? '1 view' : $total_views_count . ' views';

        $views_count_from_last_7_days = wpp_get_views(get_the_ID(), 'last7days');
        $views_count_from_last_7_days = (1 == $views_count_from_last_7_days) ? '1 view' : $views_count_from_last_7_days . ' views';

        return "<strong>Total views:</strong> {$total_views_count} | <strong>Last 7 days:</strong> {$views_count_from_last_7_days}";
    }

    return '';
}
add_shortcode('wpp_views_count', 'wpp_views_count_func');

THanks man, but you have made it for 7 days. I think i’ve corrected it like that.

/**
 * Registers the shortcode [wpp_views_count].
 *
 * @author Hector Cabrera (https://cabrerahector.com)
 * @return string
 */
function wpp_views_count_func() {
    if (
        function_exists('wpp_get_views')
        && is_singular()
    ) {
        $total_views_count = wpp_get_views(get_the_ID());
        $total_views_count = (1 == $total_views_count) ? '1 преглед' : $total_views_count . ' прегледа';

        $views_count_from_last_24_hours = wpp_get_views(get_the_ID(), 'last24hours');
        $views_count_from_last_24_hours = (1 == $views_count_from_last_24_hours) ? '1 преглед' : $views_count_from_last_24_hours . ' прегледа';

        return "<strong>Прегледа общо:</strong> {$total_views_count} | <strong>Прегледа днес:</strong> {$views_count_from_last_24_hours}";
    }

    return '';
}
add_shortcode('wpp_views_count', 'wpp_views_count_func');

If possible, can you tell me if we can make it to count per ip or something only for today, not per click.
And is there a way to put that code somewhere so i get it in all pages, so i won’t put it 1 by 1 on 1000 pages and of course a way to exclude it from certain pages.

Thanks. I think that should be good update, cuz its useful.

It’s doable, yes, but this is something that requires a bit of coding and testing as it’s not a feature included in the plugin. You’ll have to hire a developer for this one.

And is there a way to put that code somewhere so i get it in all pages, so i won’t put it 1 by 1 on 1000 pages and of course a way to exclude it from certain pages.

Yes, there is. Have a look at the_content filter hook.

I see. Do you have any email or way to contact you?

I do. Click on my profile picture for more details.

Mind you though, if you plan to contact me to help you with the IP address thing I’m afraid I’ll have to turn you down. I’m currently busy with other projects and so I’m not taking any freelance job offers for now.

I see, thanks. I’ve wrote to you in your form.
