Problem replacing classic widget with shortcode

    Hi,
    to manage a greater updating project I’d duplicated an existing site and beneath other smaller issues I discovered, that I have to leave the wpp classic widget by replacing it with a shortcode solution. This has worked but unfortunately the “old” widget is counting all views (of the last 180 days) while the shortcode version counts only the views of the time since having duplicated the site (see website link, first the classic widget, beneath then the shortcode element). Any idea why?
    In both elements there are the same setting (last 180 days). And the wpp dashboard of the duplicated site is showing the “old” views, too. But not the shortcode, here it is:

    [wpp header=’Beliebt’ range=’last180days’ limit=3 freshness=0 stats_views=1 order_by=’views’ thumbnail_width=75 thumbnail_height=75 post_type=’blogbeitraege’ excerpt_length=55 post_html='{thumb} {title} {excerpt}{views_copy} | {date_copy}’ stats_date=1 stats_date_format=’d.m.Y’]

    I would be glad to be able to change the classic widget right now while updating the site, but if there’s no solution I have to use classic widget as long as possible.

    Thank you in advance

    Hi @arminh,

    ‘last180days’ isn’t really a valid value for the range parameter ?? Said parameter will default to ‘last24hours’ if you pass a value that’s not within the expected ones: last24hours, last7days, last30days, all, or custom.

    Since you want to use a custom time range you need to use custom instead and also set the time_quantity and time_unit parameters (see Parameters) to specify the actual time range, like so:

    [wpp header='Beliebt' range='custom' time_quantity=180 time_unit='day' limit=3 freshness=0 stats_views=1 order_by='views' thumbnail_width=75 thumbnail_height=75 post_type='blogbeitraeg' excerpt_length=55 post_html='{thumb} {title} {excerpt}{views_copy} | {date_copy}' stats_date=1 stats_date_format='d.m.Y']

    Hi Hector,
    thank you for your very fast reply – I did’t think of the fact, that the 180 within the argument can’t be a parameter ??
    But fine, so the issue turned out to be none ??

    Thank you again for your support
    Armin
