I’m using a Big Grid which uses the Sort Order ‘Popular (last 7 days) – theme counter (enable from panel)’. However, I’m having the feeling that it doesn’t work when I disable ‘Show Post Views’ under ‘Post Settings’ in the Theme Panel. Could you confirm?

PS: I don’t know if it’s relevant, but I turned on the Ajax view count since I’m using WP Super Cache.

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

Yes, you are right. It needs the post view active as it counts views to determine which posts are the most popular.

Thank you!

Hey Bogdan,

Would there be a way around this? 🙂

Hi,

The post views setting needs to be enabled in order for the popular sorting to work. When there is caching installed, the ajax view count needs to be enabled.
I don’t understand what exactly you want to do about this setting. Maybe you could provide additional details.

Thanks

I want to show the most popular posts of the last 7 days, but not show the amount of views an article has. 🙂

Hi,

You could hide the view count on the post page with some CSS, while the count will still work as a function in the background

.td-post-views {
display: none!important;
}

Thanks
