I don't understand this 4. step in the install procedure

get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'views', true ); would be used in a theme .php file.

[view-count] could be used in a post/page or a theme file filter function.

Hello Adam,

I was not able to see my stats on the front-end with the function get_post_meta( $post->ID, ‘views’, true ); added to wp-includes/theme.php

However, [view-count] displays the correct value (but on a single post) of the views that I can also see in the field postmeta –> views.

Please could you tell me more on how to use the fonction get_post_meta( $post->ID, ‘views’, true ); as the data in the postmeta file are accurate.

I would really appreciate your support

Thanks
Guy

You probably need global $post; stated in the function beforehand.

This is the answer from Gabfire support

open single.php and page.php
Paste this
$views = get_post_meta( $post->ID, ‘views’, true );
echo “lu $views fois”;

right after the_content();
