Problem with update_post_meta function
-
Hi, I’m developing a theme and I needed to create a meta field to count the hits for each post.
Follows the code:
function getPostViews($postID){ $count_key = '_post_views_count'; $count = get_post_meta($postID, $count_key, true); if($count==''){ delete_post_meta($postID, $count_key); add_post_meta($postID, $count_key, '0'); return "0 View"; } return $count.' Views'; } function setPostViews($postID) { $count_key = 'post_views_count'; $count = get_post_meta($postID, $count_key, true); if($count==''){ $count = 0; delete_post_meta($postID, $count_key); add_post_meta($postID, $count_key, '0'); }else{ $count++; update_post_meta($postID, $count_key, $count); } }
Well, to test it I created 3 posts and when I hit the post #1, the counter of the post #1 and post #2 are increased simultaneously. The same issue occurs when I hit any post: the next post counter is increased too. Only the last post (most recent) works fine.
The functions are called in the single.php file using the get_the_ID() function as the parameter.
