   I'd like to track views on custom post types using "wpp_get_views()". I noted this post by "learnthat" which offered some good clues, but applies to Widgets, which I'm not using.

   Any suggestions?

   Hi Jonathan,

   Actually, the wpp_get_views method queries the wpp_popularpostsdata table to get the views count of a given post ID. The post type isn't really neccesary here.

   Are you sure that you're passing a valid ID to the function?

   I've tried:
   <?php wpp_get_views($post->ID); ?>

   And:
   <?php wpp_get_views('17'); ?> (Targetting a specific post)

   To no apparent avail.

   You need to echo it, my friend ;)

   <?php echo wpp_get_views($post->ID); ?>
