Hi,
I want to know how to make the views count work. Not even in your demo works. You can see here: http://prntscr.com/7a6k60 that every post counter says 0 views.
But you can see here: http://prntscr.com/7a6jwp that the first post have 176 views.
How can i fix this? I want my post to show the views from outside the post too.
Ok, now i see that, that number is for comments…
So, how can i make that number the views count?
And… how can i show all time views of each post, no only since i use this theme?
Thanks in advanced
Hi,
Change this comments function like this: http://screencast.com/t/dyZDv6xfpXmO Add this line there replacing the other and remove the href, replacing it with and “#”:
$buffy .= td_page_views::get_page_views($this->post->ID);
the views counter is theme specific feature and it uses a custom filed to keep the count for your post views which started counting when you installed the theme so can’t show the all time views for your posts since before using this theme.
Thanks
To show your past page views….
Also, note if you have an existing data field for page view counts, like we did on our site under a data field called “views” … you can change the default data field to use your EXISTING counts by editing this file:
/theme/includes/wp_booster/td_page_views.php
change this field name at line 3 to whatever your EXISTING reads/count field name is:
in our case we had existing counter for many years with field name of “views”
static $post_view_counter_key = 'views';
This will then show the OLD counts for your theme plus ALL new counts (which is what you want);
but NOT counts since activating theme from the default theme data field.
(Obviously if you didn’t have a prior data field / mechanism/ theme/ plugin / counting views, there is no way for this system to know your past reads. BY changing the field above the theme will now read/write from your existing data field, but you need to figure out WHAT that data field actually is!)
