Hi guys,
Our Past 7 days popular posts widget worked perfectly fine alongside WP Fastest Cache for a week or so, but has today stopped working. No posts showing at all, just blank. Nothing extra has been installed on the site. I’ve attempted to disable the cache plugin completely and still nothing displays.
AJAX Post View Count is enabled in the theme settings, as it mentions this works best with caching plugins. However disabling this makes no difference, still no posts displaying.
What’s going on?
Hi,
We did not make any changes to that sorting method, it is also stated that it will not work with caching regardless
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/7-days-post-sorting/
This sorting option works properly when no caching is used, but it will not work at all or properly with caching. Sorry for any inconvenience caused.
Hi Simion,
As mentioned in the original post, this still isn’t working with caching disabled. It’s been 30+ hours now of the widget displaying blank information. I’ve disabled any caching plugins yesterday (despite it working fine with this for a few weeks now), and tried recreating the widget, but this still doesn’t work 24 hours later.
As long as the option is enabled in the theme panel, and the post views are active, there would be no problem. I activated the option in the theme panel, then configured a block with the 7 days popular sorting

Now, as posts gather views they will be displayed in the block (according to your category filter)

Hi Simion,
I believe this may be a bug? When I disable “SHOW POST VIEWS – Enable or disable the post views (on single post page)” the popular filter stops showing any posts.
I don’t want a visible post view count on the pages, but I do want to be able to filter by page views.
I was of the belief this would simply hide the counter on the post page but views would still be logged. Will I have to manually hide this field using custom css? I didn’t think hiding this would affect popular filtering.
Regards,
Charles
Hello superflymarketing,
Yes, if you want to hide the post view count on the page, you should do this only via CSS code because if you will disable from Theme panel, you will interrupt this functionality for the whole website.
Thanks for the message!
