I also did and they e-mail me: “We have started new sync of the data between your website and our servers which should help with the Stats issue”.

I mean this.

Well, any solution? I need a function or something.

Of course. My local and universal time are ok (4 hours difference). But Jetpack still uses UTC by default.

I tried that trick before I came here from my site’s wp-admin, wordpress.com and also from the wordpress app but nothing changes. My timezone is well synced!

And I use PC and 2 phones. I got the app for android in both devices, but as I said, everything is synced properly.

Bea post views counter, but I added it to an existing function of the plugin.

How can I do it with Jetpack?

Of course, I’ve checked it before and it’s ok.

I think I need a function to discount 4 hours. I’ve used another plugin which also counts the views at universal time and I put strtotime ('-4 hours') and worked.

I know but when I go to wordpress.com and I see the stats for a specific post at 8pm on my local time (12am UTC), the stats shows up 0 for the next day already. Then, 4 hours later the stats starts counting again.

I have a WordPress managed hosting by GoDaddy and they run their own cache system and I can’t change it.

So are you saying cache is causing that _post_views field isn’t getting updated properly in the database?

And you can go to the amp version of this post to see the counter since I only added the shortcode to amp single at the moment.

The other activated plugin right now is BEA post views counter and saves its data in a separated table on the database. And even with other similar old plugins to yours that also collect Jetpack views gave me that issue.

So, what can I do? I can’t use the _post_views meta key to sort posts with that result.

Ok, I disconnected and reconnected my site, then I checked Php my admin and this is what I’m getting:

My site is not on full production yet and I’m currently counting my own views.

Ok, thank you. If you find a good way let me know, please, or at least some lines to add to my theme functions.

Something like this:

update_post_meta( $postID, 'post_views_year',  get_the_post_views_counter(  'year', $post_ID ) );
update_post_meta( $postID, 'post_views_month', get_the_post_views_counter( 'month', $post_ID ) );
update_post_meta( $postID, 'post_views_week',  get_the_post_views_counter(  'week', $post_ID ) );
update_post_meta( $postID, 'post_views_day',   get_the_post_views_counter(   'day', $post_ID ) );

Yes, that’s correct, but it does not create the key for all your posts when you activate the plugin, it only does it when one visits said post. As such, I am not sure it’s something that would be very useful for you.

It’s useful and I know how it works. Meta keys are created/updated every time posts are viewed.

I’m currently using that method with BEA post views and before I did with WordPress Popular Posts, but those plugins don’t work on AMP.

And well, don’t you think you can add those time periods in a future update of your plugin?

I’m very bad at coding but I’ll look into this. Anyway, I think I could edit or add some lines to your plugin instead of doing my own, because I just need to collect some time periods with new meta keys.

The only meta key your plugin creates is _post_views, right?

I didn’t find anything helpful there, but at stackexchange I found these lines but don’t work.

$popular = stats_get_csv( 'postviews', array( 'days' => 2, 'limit' => 10 ) );

$top_posts = stats_get_csv( 'postviews', 'period=month&limit=30' );

$post_view_posts = stats_get_csv( 'postviews', array( 'days' => 2, 'limit' => 10 ) );

Oh well, ok.

And is it possible to sort popular posts by Jetpack stats in a code like this?

<?php global $post; $recent = new WP_Query(array( 'posts_per_page' => 5, 'orderby' => '?', 'date_query' => array() )); while($recent->have_posts()) : $recent->the_post(); ?>

Nothing of that.

This is the first time I install Jetpack and I wanted to migrate the post views count from another plugin that creates a table in the database. Plus, I use a function to collect those views in a meta key for each post.

So, I need to transfer those views to Jetpack stats… but it seems imposible :/
