Change 7 day sorting

Hello,

Is there a simple way to change the 7 days post views sorting to only 1 day for example?
I have removed unwanted days from initializing array on line 81 in td_post_views.php but that didn’t do the trick.

Could you help me change the number of days to be sorted?

I have tested Jetpack method as well but it’s too much of a resource hog on a high traffic site…

Thank you.

For interval counting only … does it needs to be changed only in td_post_views.php or is related with other files as well?

Are Jetpack stats served form wordpress.com only or they are or can be stored locally? I don’t like to be connected to wordpress.com all the time just to get stats – high traffic site?

I would really appreciate any other solution, maybe other plugins you suggest?

Thank you Alin, it helps.

I’ve temporarily enabled Jetpack sorting, but the prev next arrow pagination ain’t working right.
When I click on the next set of posts, it loads almost identical (same but different order) posts but then this set is shown for both prev and next posts.

Is theme’s 7 day sorting and ajax post views in conflict with Jetpack stats and should be disabled?

.. anyway looks like we’ll reconfigure the 7 days order, because of too many new posts added every day.

One more question about the comments … how hard is it to reconfigure the sort for most commented posts in last 2 days only, and not for all time most commented like it is by default?

Good to hear that Jetpack issue is on your side too, since I thought it’s probably just on my side…

I’ve changed the most commented sort as you’ve described but it didn’t make any change in sorting. There are still All-time Most commented post on top… I’m using Disqus comment system if that has any affect on sorting?

For Most viewed posts, I’ve put this code from 7 day random and change it to sort only post published 3 days ago… and put one custom code to td_page_views.php on line 72, after update_post_meta($postID, self::$post_view_7days_last_day, $current_day);} :
/* Custom counter */
$num_days = 2;
for($i=1;$i<8-$num_days;$i++) {
$day_index = $current_day + $i;
if($day_index > 6) $day_index -= 7;
$count_7_day_array[$day_index] = 0;
}

But doesn’t make any difference … I was told it should work.
Any suggestions?

I’ll post the solution when It will be working…

Otherwise it would be good if the theme would have it’s own post view counter working with cache, since it’s the only flaw, I see this, theme has.

Thank you and best regards,

Alin, thank you for your support.

To look for most commented articles posted within that range, e.g. 2 day is ok.
I don’t need to count comments and sort it, so I’ve copied query from random 7 day and changed it to 3 day ago, but it doesn’t change the sorting.

I cannot get your sort order right. I’ve tested sorting for 7 days random posts too, which is sorting right. But if I change instead of ‘1 week ago’ to ‘3 days ago’ it’s always showing articles within 7 day range.
The query doesn’t have any effect.
Can you please confirm this?

Anyway, I’m sorry to keep open this thread for so long but I would really like to solve this.

About the custom counter code… I’ve pasted it if someone finds it useful. I was told it should work for most cases, but it’s not working for me. 🙂

Hello,

Thank you for the details Alin.

I see you have only 2 comments … can you try adding some comments to post published earlier?
Hope it works, cause it still ain’t working for me. It’s like it doesn’t have any effect at all and is showing all time most commented posts.

The solution to show only post published 2 day ago would be great. It should work for popular 7 as well?

I’ve tried but again, it ain’t working. This would solve these 2 issues and this topic 🙂

I know, this solution is what I need …

Can you add some comment for the post published earlier than 2 days ago and check if it’s showing only posts published 2 days ago? I assume the block will show all 3 posts with comments like mine…

Alin, once again thank you.

I see it’s working for you, not for me.

This is the my code for most commented sort… if you see something wrong:
case ‘comment_count’:
$wp_query_args[‘orderby’] = ‘comment_count’;
$wp_query_args[‘order’] = ‘DESC’;
$wp_query_args[‘date_query’] = array(
‘column’ => ‘post_date_gmt’,
‘after’ => ‘2 days ago’,
);
break;

I’m using Disqus – maybe that’s why the sort ain’t working? I don’t have Jetpack installed, but this sort isn’t related to Jetpack I guess…

Hello,

Sorry, I still can’t get it to work, have tried the quotes before too..
Haven’t tried disabling plugins yet. Is there any other way to debug this issue?

I see the new theme update (6.6) updates td_data_source.php … anything related to sort?
Should this kind of query, for post published e.g. 2 days ago worked for Popular 7 day sorting as well?

Thank you.

Hi, I usually publish one or two posts per week, so I need to select “random post from last 60 days” (not 7 days) … is there any possibility to change this by modifying some parameters on td_page_views.php or td_data_source.php ?
Thanks-

This thread went from the days of posting news to posting comments.

I’m still interested in posting news every 3 days or we should have the option to post news any amount of time we need. Can this be added in the future?

Thanks
John

Hi Bogdan,

Thank you. Choosing jetpack didn’t show anything for me. I selected “-Latest-” and that showed me the latest news, which I think works for me as the site is updated frequently with at least 20 articles per day.

Is “Latest” a function or just a “select/heading” option? 🙂

Thank you
John
