    Hi everybody!.
    I have a problem with try to get popular post by views.

    //////update post view
function wp_set_post_views($postID) {
    $count_key = 'wpb_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, $count);
    }
}
//To keep the count accurate, lets get rid of prefetching
remove_action( 'wp_head', 'adjacent_posts_rel_link_wp_head', 10, 0);
//show view
function wp_get_post_views($postID){
    $count_key = 'wpb_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';
}
//////////this is my code to get list by views:
$arg = array(
 "post_type" => "product",
 "posts_per_page" => 10,
 "meta_key" => "wpb_post_views_count",
 "orderby" => "meta_value_num",
 "order" => "DESC",
);
$query = new wp_query($arg);
if($query->have_posts()) :
 while($query->have_posts()) : $query->the_post();
  the_title();
  echo '('.wp_get_post_views(get_the_ID()).')';
 endwhile;
endif;
?>

    But the result is not correct. The list is still sort by post ID.
    where is my error. How can i fix it. Thanks!

    oh. Thanks Clarion for your reply.
    function wp_set_post_views($postID) {
    …
    }
    //To keep the count accurate, lets get rid of prefetching
    remove_action( ‘wp_head’, ‘adjacent_posts_rel_link_wp_head’, 10, 0);
    //show view
    function wp_get_post_views($postID){
    …
    }
    I put two above functions in function.php.

    and below code i put in sidebar.php
    <?php
    //////////this is my code to get list by views:
    $arg = array(
    “post_type” => “product”,
    “posts_per_page” => 10,
    “meta_key” => “wpb_post_views_count”,
    “orderby” => “meta_value_num”,
    “order” => “DESC”,
    );
    $query = new wp_query($arg);
    if($query->have_posts()) :
    while($query->have_posts()) : $query->the_post();
    the_title();
    echo ‘(‘.wp_get_post_views(get_the_ID()).’)’;
    endwhile;
    endif;
    ?>
    In index.php I get_sidebar();
    So where is problem. Thanks.

    Let me explain more detail.
    The result show:

    product title 1 (2 view)
    product title 2 (1 view)
    product title 3 (5 view)
    product title 4 (8 view)
    product title 5 (3 view)

    But i need result.
    product title 4 (8 view)
    product title 3 (5 view)
    product title 5 (3 view)
    product title 1 (2 view)
    product title 2 (1 view)

    I just want to sort by views

    Thanks Clarion for your words with my heart!
    I found my problem. Because i use “pre_get_post”
    $query->set(‘orderby’,’modified’);
    I am so crazy!!
    Thanks Clarion again. Nice to meet you.
