As I understand it, the sorting feature is set to prioritize ‘popularity’ over a set period of time – 24 hours, 48 hours, or 7 days. However, this feature sorts content based on the number of views rather than the publish date. As a result, an older article that continually attracts a high number of views would maintain its top position indefinitely.
I’m wondering, is there a code snippet or filter that could refine this process by integrating a date range? For instance, can we gather all posts published within the last 7 days and then sort these by the number of views? This way, the system would display posts with the highest view counts but only from the most recent 7-day period, thereby allowing more recent content a chance to rise in the rankings.
I know I could alter the code, but of course on updates that would be lost and have to manually add again.
Appreciate any feedback on this.
Hello,
Unfortunately, the theme doesn’t5 have a filter like that.
You can add the code in the child theme.
Thank you!
What filter should we hook at functions.php in order
to limit the query of popular to posts of last days eg 7 only?
thanks
