Hello
I have placed a popular post block to show top articles viewed in the last 7 days, but it doesn´t show anything, Do I have to wait 7 days to see the result?
Thanks
Hello Albert,
This sorting option will pick posts that are popular in the last 7 days, ordered by page views. Popular posts mean those posts that have the most views and no need to be published in this period of time to be displayed.
This option comes with a small performance penalty and it does not work well with caching plugins yet.
For more information about this feature, you should find in our documentation, here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/7-days-post-sorting/
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thank you for the message!
Hello
Yes, I have read the documentation, but I can´t show this view.
First of all, I enabled 7 days post sorting from block setting in theme panel. Then, I placed a block setting (block 7) on a page and I ordered by “Popular “last 7 days) – theme counter (enable from panel)” option. But anything is displayed. I don´t know exactly if it´s a caching problem.
Thanks
Hi,
i am having similar issue, i turned on the 7 days post sorting feature from the block settings (theme panel).
Then i added block 21 in newspaper default sidebar and choose its Sort order: (last 7 days)….
but no post is showing up. However, custom title for this block: which is “Post” appearing on the page.
here’s the link http://www.techgadget360.com (under specification widget)
Hi,
Please make sure you have post views enabled on your site and also if you use a cache plugin this sort order will not work properly like Catalin stated above. Also enable ajax view count – http://screencast.com/t/U4jJuAi2Dnn
Also you can test it by editing a post and take a look at custom fields: http://screencast.com/t/mSiJvu61tGj then refresh the post a few times and check if it increments. If those values are changed when the post is viewed then 7 days sort should work properly.
Thanks!
Hello
I can see 7 days popular post now. I have enabled post views and ajax view count. I notice that they appear not exactly sorted by most views, for example I have placed 5 articles and I can say that top 5 articles views are displayed but not in order, I don´t know if I could change this order or it´s a cache plugin problem.
As you said before, I have installed the recommended plugin WP-Cache, could it works with this configuration? What is exactly the small performance penalty?
Thanks
Hello,
The popular 7 days is sorting posts from the most popular down. So if a post has 10 views and others have below this number, then the post will be displayed first. Please clear your cache before testing it.
As for the performance penalty, it is a small difference in loading speed as more request have to be made to the server in order to check the post views but it is not a significant increase.
Thank you!
Hello
Ok, it´s ok. It seems that is displayed by order after clearing caches.
Thanks
