Like many, I too have problems with 7 days post views in combination with cache (WP Super Cache). In my case seems to me that “post views” and “7 day count post views” are reversed. In some of my posts 7 days count is bigger than all post views. And yes, I did turn on ajax post count on theme panel.
As I could read here there are a lot of problems with this, and still no good solution. Before using WordPress i was using Joomla. They had simplier approach to this. Popular in last 7 days meant post published in last 7 days that at that time has most hits. In that way you have your newest popular posts listed nicely, and I believe that this would be easier to implement in coding theme.
Can this be done in this theme, maybe in next update?
Hi
I am not sure what could cause the difference between the post views and 7 day count post views so if you have any specific details which might help please share it here so we can duplicate the situation on our side and inspect it closer.
Meanwhile try to deactivate all plugin except Visual Composer and WP Super Cache, clear the cache memory then test the site again. Also you can view a post in browser a fee times then check how both counters are incremented.
Regarding the current implementation for this feature there is a miss-configuration as it display posts from all time not only post from last 7 days. This is on our list and theme’s developers will consider changing the actual implementation in shortest time possible. This may take some time because we have a long implementation list and we take them one by one.
Thanks for your understanding!
thx for answer, i really think that displaying posts from 7 days ago would make things easier to you to implement together with cache. There would be small problem for people who doesnt post that much often, but they can use Popular All Time function instead of this.
