Delay in counter updates (cache)

    Hello, friends.
    Tell me what to insert into the code: 

     <?php
    if (function_exists('wpp_get_views')) 
        echo wpp_get_views( get_the_ID() ); // This will only work when used inside the loop!
?>

    so that the view count is updated every 1 minute, not in real time (as in the WPP Cache Expiry Policy settings)
    Thank you!

    Hi there!

    The wpp_get_views() template tag doesn’t have such a feature, so if you don’t want it to show the “live” views count but a “cached” version of it you can use transients (which is what the “WPP Cache Expiry Policy settings” is actually doing behind the scenes):

    <?php

if ( function_exists( 'wpp_get_views' ) ) {

    if ( false === ( $views_count = get_transient( 'wpp_views_count_' . get_the_ID() ) ) ) {

        // Get views count.
        $views_count = wpp_get_views( get_the_ID() );

        // Put the results in a transient. Expire after 1 minute.
	set_transient( 'wpp_views_count_' . get_the_ID(), $views_count, 1 * MINUTE_IN_SECONDS );

    }

    echo $views_count;

}

?>
