Hi,
my flex block with sort order popular last 48 hours was working fine until I started using a page cache. Now the count is wrong, possibly counting only once for every cached page. Is there a setting to include cached pages in the count?
Kind regards,
Brigitta
Hello Brigitta,
Can you please provide more details about what page cache option you say? Do you use the option for cache on the blocks?
Thank you!
Hello Anamaria,
I use W3 Total Cache Page Cache. Do you have an option for page cache in the theme?
The site has up to 70.000 page views per day and is way to slow without page cache.
Hello,
thank you for your reply.
Unfortunately this morning we have a huge problem. Posts from 10 or even 20 years ago are listed as most popular within 48 hours that have only been read one ore two times. The list changes by the minute with more an more old posts. I had to remove this flex block from all templates for damage control.
How is the popularity calculated? Do you use the views shown in the posts list? One of the posts creating my problem has 20 views listed but has only been opened once. post_views_last_48_hours in posts_meta is 1.
My original question was about to few actual views counted possibly due to caching. Now it is the other way round.
Please help this is urgent since this list controls out daily newsletter as well.
Update: The listing of the old posts resulted from google indexing some old posts for the first time. So they have in fact been read.
Unfortunately I still do not know how the ranking is calculated and how to include cached pages.
Or not. I have been on the staging site that is blocked for google.
Nobody has been on that site for a week. It lists posts from some time ago as most popular last 48h. Where do those values come from? While testing the list was empty when nobody clicked anything. So it worked fine before. I did not change anything on that site when going life with a copy.
Hi,
Please enable this option https://forum.tagdiv.com/ajax-view-count/
Also, our post-view counter counts every post-visualization, even if the same individual visits the post again
Thank you!
Hi,
thank you very much. I will try that right away.

Brigitta
Hi again,
unfortunately we sometimes still get old posts as most read that have hardly been called since being posted. If you use post_views_last_48/24_hours the value is way off the real calls. Sometimes we have thousands of hits on one page. The largest value in Post_views today is 97. And it is an old one again.
Is it possible to at least restrict the results to a timeframe like last week or last two days?
Hello,
Unfortunately, no, you can’t restrict them.
Thank you!
