   The display of popular posts is beneficial as it helps increase website traffic statistics. However, on the other hand, competitors can easily identify which posts and topics have been popular on your site. One of the sections I always explore for competitor analysis and finding trending topics is the “most popular articles” section on various websites.

     While that can be something to keep in mind, we normally find it best to add what is most important to your visitors instead of being concerned that your competitors will follow your content.

     Yes, competitors can use it to analytics ones website but you can just display it like WPbeginner, without adding the views count/counter.
     But mind you, visitors can use Semrush, Google, Similarweb and some other ways to analyze your site. You own is just to know how you are playing your games.
     Thanks for the insight.

   Popular posts and related posts makes the user engagement intact and reduced bounce rate.
   it helps in more user interaction with the posts and articles.
   I have seen many bloggers showing views count and read time of the posts, like 5 minutes read or 3 minutes read.
   can we have popular posts and related posts where ever we want with this method? and
   Is this method can be used for achieving both these objectives like having read time based on word counts?

     You should be able to place it wherever widgets are allowed. For the time to read, it would depend on the plugin you use for that and if it has an integration or not.

   I would like to ask if the snippet also works on the new WordPress 6.4.2. I followed the instructions, cleared the cache, but the most read articles do not appear under the article

   Responder

   • WPBeginner Support

     The code snippets should still work with the most up to date version of WordPress.

       Thank you for the reply. It’s already working. I had a mistake somewhere and unfortunately I don’t know where. In the end, I repeated the whole procedure twice more and it worked on the third try. Unfortunately, I don’t know what I did wrong, but the snippets really work. Thank you.

         Glad they started working for you, it’s always difficult to tell what went wrong when trying the same code again works when the previous time it didn’t.

   Is there a way to make it so it’s based on user vs in general?

   Responder

   • WPBeginner Support

     We do not have a recommended method for user specific popular posts at the moment.

   If we have caching enabled, can we avoid the caching problem by resorting to JavaScript (AJAX) to send the command to record the view? Would that work?

   Responder

   • WPBeginner Support

     While there is a complex way to have that workaround, we do not have a method we would recommend at this time.

   How can I reset the meta keys or reset the counting??
   Is there any function?

   Responder

   • WPBeginner Support

     If you’re using the custom code method, it is saved as a custom field in which case you can edit the count in the edit post area itself. You can see more on custom fields in our guide below:

   Hello, thank you very much.
   It is very simple and practical.

   But with each reload, one visit is added.
   How can I fix this problem?

   Thankful

   Responder

   • WPBeginner Support

     Any time a user would reload a page or visit the page again would be another visit. For specifically excluding refreshes you would need to use a plugin with more advanced features.

   only 4 posts
   I’ve tried to change to 10 but still 4 posts show up
   ‘posts_per_page’ => 10

   Responder

   • WPBeginner Support

     You may want to try clearing all caching checking with your theme’s support to ensure they don’t have anything that would conflict with this

    Is it beyond the scope of this article to explain had you assign the functions to those buttons as in your screenshot:

    Recent Articles – Popular Posts – editor’s picks

    That is basically what I want to do…have buttons at the top of my posts page for recent, popular/trending, editors picks. I haven’t found any plugins that can do that. The all focus on side bar widgets.

    It looks like your article is starting to talk about this but where to go from there is beyond my current knowledge level.

    Thanks,

    Getting double view count on refresh (single.php). Don’t know if the remove action is working or not for “adjacent_posts_rel_link_wp_head”. Useless so far. I tried everything that is possible to remove double count. Using this code in a custom made plugin.

      I have the same problem with this code.
      Have you found any solution of this?

      Responder

    • Fuchel

      This was happening for me because I had:

      `set_post_views(get_the_ID());` in single.php
      AND
      `add_action( ‘wp_head’, ‘track_post_views’);` in my functions.php which was also adding `set_post_views(get_the_ID());` within it.

      By removing the line on single.php I fixed the double count.

20. Ryley Ameden

    Fixed this issue:

    Cannot use WP_Query, used get_posts and it is now working. Then use a foreach look to loop through the posts and display them. See below:

    $blog_cat_array = get_the_category();
    $blog_cat = $blog_cat_array[0]->term_id;

    $popularpost = array(
    ‘posts_per_page’ => 2,
    ‘meta_key’ => ‘wpb_post_views_count’,
    ‘orderby’ => ‘meta_value_num’,
    ‘order’ => ‘DESC’,
    ‘category’ => $blog_cat,
    ‘post_type’ => ‘post’,
    );
    $pop_posts = get_posts($popularpost);

    foreach($pop_posts as $pop_post){
    the_title();
    }

    I really like this option and have built it into my site.
    I have one question regarding the count. I found that the counts were rather high so I changed the code around a bit. With every count increase I wrote the IP address to a log file. I found hat two-third of the counts were legit and the other ones came from googlebot, apple, etc. and just now apews Is there any way to get the counts right and do you know if the ‘regular’ plugins have found a way around this?
    Thx!
    BTW: Keep up the good work, I thoroughly enjoy this site!

    Responder

    • bah

      you can take maxmind ISP IP database and only count humans. This is the best option. Second just dont count common bots user-agent-names

      Responder

      • Erwin Barendregt

        Thanks so much. I will definitely look into that.
        In the mean time I implemneted the solution which was implemented in the WordPress Popular Posts plugin. That works for now, but the solution you recommended seems more future-proof. Thanks again!

    $count = get_post_meta($postID, $count_key, true);

    }else{
    $count++;
    update_post_meta($postID, $count_key, $count);
    }
    }
    //To keep the count accurate, lets get rid of prefetching
    remove_action( ‘wp_head’, ‘adjacent_posts_rel_link_wp_head’, 10, 0);

    function wpb_track_post_views ($post_id) {
    if ( !is_single() ) return;
    if ( empty ( $post_id) ) {
    global $post;
    $post_id = $post->ID;
    }
    wpb_set_post_views($post_id);
    }
    add_action( ‘wp_head’, ‘wpb_track_post_views’);

    function wpb_get_post_views($postID){
    $count_key = ‘wpb_post_views_count’;
    $count = get_post_meta($postID, $count_key, true);
    if($count==”){
    delete_post_meta($postID, $count_key);
    add_post_meta($postID, $count_key, ‘0’);
    return “0 View”;
    }
    return $count.’ Views’;
    }

    and my visits counts always as two. What’s happening? Thanks.

    Responder

    • ScoDal

      I modified this a little to use it as a shortcode. To use this with a shortcode, add this to your functions.php:

      function wpb_set_post_views($postID) {
      $count_key = ‘wpb_post_views_count’;
      $count = get_post_meta($postID, $count_key, true);
      if($count==”){
      $count = 0;
      delete_post_meta($postID, $count_key);
      add_post_meta($postID, $count_key, ‘0’);
      }else{
      $count++;
      update_post_meta($postID, $count_key, $count);
      }
      }
      //To keep the count accurate, lets get rid of prefetching
      remove_action( ‘wp_head’, ‘adjacent_posts_rel_link_wp_head’, 10, 0);

      function wpb_track_post_views ($post_id) {
      if ( !is_single() ) return;
      if ( empty ( $post_id) ) {
      global $post;
      $post_id = $post->ID;
      }
      wpb_set_post_views($post_id);
      }
      add_action( ‘wp_head’, ‘wpb_track_post_views’);

      function wpb_get_post_views($postID){
      $count_key = ‘wpb_post_views_count’;
      $count = get_post_meta($postID, $count_key, true);
      if($count==”){
      delete_post_meta($postID, $count_key);
      add_post_meta($postID, $count_key, ‘0’);
      return “0 View”;
      }
      return $count.’ Views’;
      }

      function wpb_most_viewed_posts() {
      // start output buffering
      ob_start();
      ?>
      4, ‘meta_key’ => ‘wpb_post_views_count’, ‘orderby’ => ‘meta_value_num’, ‘order’ => ‘DESC’);

      //begin loop
      while ($query->have_posts()) : $query->the_post(); ?>

      <?php

      // Turn off output buffering
      $theResult = ob_get_clean();

      //Return output
      return $theResult;
      }
      // Create shortcode
      add_shortcode('wpb_most_viewed', 'wpb_most_viewed_posts');

      //Enable shortcode execution in text widgets
      add_filter('widget_text', 'do_shortcode');

      Then simply add [wpb_most_viewed] to your desired page/post and it should display your most popular posts.
