Show number of visits and number of comments

Hi there,

You will first need to find a plugin for the visit counts option then we can help you add it in – ideally the plugin would offer a shortcode option.

Let me know ??

Thanks Leo. I’m already using WP-PostViews, that was working with the previous theme Atahualpa. Is this the shortcode you are referring to?

the_views()

I think this is the method we will go with:
https://generatepress.com/forums/topic/post-visit-counter-and-mins-read-time/page/2/#post-1586449

So add:

add_action( 'generate_post_meta_items', function( $item ) {
    if ( 'view-counter' === $item ) {
        echo '<span class="view-counter">Post views ' . the_views() . '</span>';
    }
} );

add_filter( 'generate_header_entry_meta_items', function() {
    return array(
        'author',
        'date',
        'view-counter',
        'comments-link',
    );
} );

add_action( 'wp', function() {
    if ( is_single() ) {
        add_filter( 'generate_show_comments', '__return_true' );
    }
} );

Leo, it’s working! I’ve modified it just a bit:

add_action( 'generate_post_meta_items', function( $item ) {
    if ( 'view-counter' === $item ) {
		echo ' - ';
		echo '<span class="view-counter"> ' . the_views() . ' - </span>';
    }
} );

add_filter( 'generate_header_entry_meta_items', function() {
    return array(
        // 'author',
        'date',
        'view-counter',
        'comments-link',
    );
} );

add_action( 'wp', function() {
    if ( is_single() ) {
        add_filter( 'generate_show_comments', '__return_true' );
    }
} );
