Popular (last 7 days)

I do not want my readers to see views each post has on the website just beside the eye on every post. I read in one of the questions here that in order for the ‘Popular (last 7 days)’ to work well, ‘show view’ must also be enabled on the theme panel along with the ajax view count.

I have disabled the ‘show post views’ but left the ajax view count.

Will this affect the way ‘Popular (last 7 days)’ works ?
I do not have any cache plugin or jetpack installed which I also read here affects this feature. Kindly advise.
I’m using the latest theme update 2.3.5

And if disabling “show post views” affects Popular (last 7 days), then kindly provide me an alternative because I do not want the views I get on my posts to be a public information.

I think you can remove that from the particular post template(s) you’re using. Requires editing the post template in your theme folder to remove that little element on the post.

How is this done ?

Hi

To have the sort working you need to keep the view count active. If you don’t want the views appear on the post you can hide it using this css in theme panel > custom code custom css: http://screencast.com/t/BpSqEK1d0

.td-post-views {
display: none;
}

Thanks!
