Display all views

I do not know if its possible with the plugin itself. But i made this code to do it:
Place it in your themes functions.php file and then use the shortcode [postviewcounter_total_counts] where you want to display it.

It refreshes the count every 24 hours (so it wont take too many resources from the server)

I have made a test page on one of my sites with this code on: https://folkemoedeovernatning.dk/test/ (If you get a 404, i took down the page)

add_shortcode( 'postviewcounter_total_counts', 'postviewcounter_total_counts_function' );
function postviewcounter_total_counts_function( $atts ) {

    global $wpdb;

    // Get stored value (cache)
    $count = get_transient( 'postviewcounter_total_counts' ); // Site Transient

    // If no transient (cache) available, then count again.
    if ( false === $count ) {

      // Query
      $query = "SELECT sum(count) AS count FROM " . $wpdb->prefix . "post_views";
      $results = $wpdb->get_results( $query );

      set_transient( 'postviewcounter_total_counts', $results["0"]->count, DAY_IN_SECONDS );

    }

  // Return the count
  return $count;

}

Thank you, thank you, thank you ??
Just to make it perfect, on the generated number how to separate the number to make it easy to read?
Example: 12,970; 18,099,992;
Thank you ??

Last line: return number_format($count, 0, ‘.’, ‘.’);

This should do the trick.

Well, unfortunately it did not work, can you do a rapid check?
And how can I thank your dedication?

Updated mt code on : https://folkemoedeovernatning.dk/test/ It works here. But it could be because f transients you do not have the updated version on your site. Try changing the transient name to something else, like this.

add_shortcode( 'postviewcounter_total_counts', 'postviewcounter_total_counts_function' );
function postviewcounter_total_counts_function( $atts ) {

    global $wpdb;

    // Get stored value (cache)
    $count = get_transient( 'postviewcounterTotalCounts' ); // Site Transient

    // If no transient (cache) available, then count again.
    if ( false === $count ) {

      // Query
      $query = "SELECT sum(count) AS count FROM " . $wpdb->prefix . "post_views";
      $results = $wpdb->get_results( $query );

      set_transient( 'postviewcounterTotalCounts', $results["0"]->count, DAY_IN_SECONDS );

    }

  // Return the count
  return number_format($count, 0, '.', '.');

}

Good to hear ??

Hi, how do we set the views to forever? I do not want the views to reset as I want to show the total number of views for a news post from the time the published and the view count should only increase. It should not reset after any time. Get what I mean?

Pls let me know. Thanks

Hi,
Total are stored forever. What you can remove, especially if you have lot’s of traffic and limited server resources is the daily (detailed) views – using the Reset Data Interval option.
