WordPress displays article page views

When you build your own website using WordPress, if you want to display the page views of each article on the website, you will generally use a WordPress page views plug-in, which can conveniently count the page views of each article on our website.

First, add the following code to the wordpress template function functions.php file in the website backend:
/*Show article views*/
function getPostViews($postID){
$count = get_post_meta($postID,’views’, true);
if($count==”){
delete_post_meta($postID,’views’);
add_post_meta($postID,’views’, ‘0’);
return “0”;
}
return $count.”;
}
function setPostViews($postID) {
$count = get_post_meta($postID,’views’, true);
if($count==”){
$count = 0;
delete_post_meta($postID,’views’);
add_post_meta($postID,’views’, ‘0’);
}else{
$count++;
update_post_meta($postID,’views’, $count);
}
}
It can be used wherever you need to display the number of views, including the homepage, category page, and article page.
Add the call code for the number of views:
<?php setPostViews(get_the_ID()); echo number_format(getPostViews(get_the_ID())); ?>
