Need php template tag & shortcode

There are both:

[post-views] shortcode
pvc_post_views() – function with optional $post_id parameter

Thank you for the tips.

Is the post count value stored as a post variable? I can’t seem to find the meta key name.

Nope. It wouldn’t be effective for large traffic websites – that’s one of the reasons we’ve built this plugin.

Yes, I’ve also be mulling over this and I tend to agreed with you. Do you have any tips for returning an array of post ids of “popular posts” by view count registered under your plugin?

Yea, you just use regular WP_Query or get_posts() with “orderby” parameter set to “post_views”.

That does it! You solved my problem entirely! I’m actually using WP query parameters as rendering variables and “post_views” is exactly what I had been looking for!

Your plugin works, is light weight, carefully balances performance issues, offers powerful options (e.g. multi-select specific custom post-types) and no frills. Your assistance is also prompt and precise. dFactory you are GREAT and folks at Pageii Studio wants to say a big THANK YOU to you!

Thx for the kind words ??
