¿Estás buscando una manera de rastrear las visitas a las entradas sin un plugin usando post meta? Si bien es probable que haya un plugin para esto, hemos creado un fragmento de código rápido que se puede utilizar para realizar un seguimiento de vistas de post sin un plugin usando post meta en WordPress.
Instrucciones:
Añade este código al archivo functions.php de tu tema o en un plugin específico del sitio:
function getPostViews($postID){
$count_key = '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 $count.' Views';
}
function setPostViews($postID) {
$count_key = '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, $count);
}
}
// Remove issues with prefetching adding extra views
remove_action( 'wp_head', 'adjacent_posts_rel_link_wp_head', 10, 0);
Opcionalmente, añada también este código a una columna del administrador de WordPress que muestre las vistas de las entradas:
// Add to a column in WP-Admin
add_filter('manage_posts_columns', 'posts_column_views');
add_action('manage_posts_custom_column', 'posts_custom_column_views',5,2);
function posts_column_views($defaults){
$defaults['post_views'] = __('Views');
return $defaults;
}
function posts_custom_column_views($column_name, $id){
if($column_name === 'post_views'){
echo getPostViews(get_the_ID());
}
}
Esta parte del código de seguimiento de vistas establecerá las vistas de la entrada. Sólo tiene que colocar este código a continuación dentro del archivo single.php dentro del bucle de WordPress.
<?php
setPostViews(get_the_ID());
?>
Nota sobre el almacenamiento en caché de fragmentos: Si está utilizando un plugin de almacenamiento en caché como W3 Total Cache, el método anterior para establecer vistas no funcionará, ya que la función setPostViews() nunca se ejecutaría. Sin embargo, W3 Total Cache tiene una función llamada fragment caching. En lugar del método anterior, utilice el siguiente para que la función set PostViews() se ejecute correctamente y rastree todas las vistas de sus entradas incluso cuando tenga habilitado el almacenamiento en caché.
<!-- mfunc setPostViews(get_the_ID()); --><!-- /mfunc -->
El siguiente código es opcional. Utilice este código si desea mostrar el número de visitas dentro de sus mensajes. Coloque este código dentro del Bucle.
<?php
echo getPostViews(get_the_ID());
?>

Hi,
Can I do like fake views count + real count?
It means I can set starting value manually (because I want my new published post to show a value like 3,429 views in the first minute) so that my post will look like it has a high amount of post views, of course, combined with real count also.
If yes, where to set the fake view count base on the code?
What would be the meta key for this to call it in a query?
‘post_views_count’ is the meta key.
Hi is it possible to make somehow the number of views display only if it’s more than 1000?
You could use this code when displaying the comment count:
if (getPostViews(get_the_ID()) >= 1000) {echo getPostViews(get_the_ID());
}
Is there a way to exclude admin views from the count?
You may want to use something like this code to conditionally count views: https://www.isitwp.com/check-if-user-is-logged-in/
Hey Debjit Saha i can’t able to find single.php folder in my template, where should i paste the code?
The main loop for single posts may be in another template file. You may want to check for a post.php file or a similarly named file.
Thank you for this code. it worked perfectly.
Nice snippet.
How can I reset the counts and start counting again?
If you know the post id of the posts you want then this should work.
UPDATE yourDatabaseName.wp_postmeta
set meta_value = 0
where meta_key = ‘post_views_count’ and post_id = 1934
Hello, very good your post.
My question is how to bring the data from Google Analytics to show the number of views of Posts and Pages?
Do you have a Post or a link on how to implement this?
Sadly we don’t have a current recommendation for this exactly. That said, you may want to check out: https://www.monsterinsights.com/how-to-check-stats-for-individual-wordpress-posts-and-pages/
Any google analytics plugin that can pull view data and display in wordpress?
There are plenty… You can check out our complete list of best Google Analytics plugin.
The codes are not working for me.I have bbpress topic,means post type is “topic”. But when i checked meta_key is genearting in backend. But meta values are not updating on each visits
Great articles, it work fine on my page
my question is, does the count will just start after implementing that code ?
because all my old page showing 0 or 1 views while actually it already got thousands views.
Yes, the counting doesn’t start until the plugin is active. Any views before this were not recorded by this plugin.
Thanks a lot – works great!
I’ve ‘improved’ the function get_post_views slightly so it will return the proper text depending on the number of views. Here is my version:
function get_post_views($postID) {
$count_key = ‘post_views_count’;
$count = get_post_meta($postID, $count_key, true);
if($count==”){
delete_post_meta($postID, $count_key);
add_post_meta($postID, $count_key, ‘0’);
return “0 Views”;
}
if ($count==’1′) {
return “1 View”;
}
return $count.’ Views’;
}
Maybe you like to adopt this version.
Thanks for sharing! 🙂
thanks.
This has helped me a lot, thank you very much!
Great! Works like charm… I only wanted to view it in the admin area and just the first two codes do the trick!
Hi,
Thanks for the code, it works like a charm without cache enabled…
But, how can I make it work with wp rocket?
Please…
Anyone know how to format or truncate the numbers? So instead of 4445 views, it’s 4,445 or 4.5K ?
You may want to use PHP functions like round() and number_format() for this use case.
Hi, somehow my code runs fine but it is doing +2 increment each time, the views go 0, 2, 4, 6. Which has been annoying please help. I placed the code as well as the show post views portion both in a function that has a action after content. The counter works, just that its in multiples of 2.
You may want to check to make sure that this function, setPostViews(get_the_ID()), is only added once. Which hook are you using?
wil the work in lightspeed cache?
Code appearing on home page
Opps sorry, please disregard my previous comment. I realized I was calling the setPostViews function multiple times. My bad….
After fixing this, I am only seeing the view count go up +2 anytime I refresh the single blog post.
Does anyone have a fix for this? I don’t imagine this will be much of a problem considering that most users wont actually be refreshing the page, though it would be nice to have an actual count number to display..
Thanks for the code 🙂
