I’m having a hard time using this snippet I’m getting double views each time the post is queried.
This is in my functions.php file:
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";
}
return $count;
}
function setPostViews($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);
}
}
// Remove issues with prefetching adding extra views
remove_action( 'wp_head', 'adjacent_posts_rel_link_wp_head', 10, 0);
Then I places setPostViews(get_the_ID());
into a template part that i loop in the archive.php like this:
<?php
$term = $wp_query->queried_object;
$args=array(
'post_type' => 'anuncio',
'posts_per_page' => 1,
'orderby' => 'rand',
'tax_query' => array(
array(
'taxonomy' => 'ciudad',
'field' => 'slug',
'terms' => $term->slug,
),
),
'meta_query' => array(
array(
'key' => '_adStatus',
'value' => 'activo'
)
),
);
$loop = new WP_Query( $args );
while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post(); ?>
<?php get_template_part('templates/ads/ad'); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
This is my ad.php file:
<?php
$adID = $post->ID;
$attachment_id = get_post_thumbnail_id( $adID );
$size = "grid-cover";
$image = wp_get_attachment_image_src( $attachment_id, $size );
$url = $image[0];
setPostViews($adID);
?>
<a href="#" class="ad <?php echo $post->ID; ?> lazyBackground" data-background="<?php echo $url; ?>">
<p class="h2 ad-title"><?php the_title(); ?></p>
<p><?php echo get_the_content(); ?></p>
<form method="post" id="<?php echo $post->ID; ?>clickCounter" class="hidden">
<input type="submit" class="<?php echo $post->ID; ?>">
</form>
</a>
<script>
jQuery(document).ready( function() {
jQuery('.ad.<?php echo $post->ID; ?>').click(function() {
jQuery('#<?php echo $post->ID; ?>clickCounter').submit();
});
jQuery('#<?php echo $post->ID; ?>clickCounter').submit(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
jQuery.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: ajaxurl,
data: "action=adClickCounter&id="+<?php echo $post->ID?>,
success: function() {
window.setTimeout(function(){
window.open("<?php echo $reDirectUrl; ?>","_blank")
}, 50);
}
});
});
});
</script>
