getMostVisitedPostIDs not working?

    Hello, first of thanks for this great plugin 🙂

    I’m trying to make my custom popular posts list by getting the array from getMostVisitedPostIDs. Here’s what I have so far:

    <?php
global $count_per_day;
$valute = $count_per_day-> getMostVisitedPostIDs(7,1,true,true);
$pquery = new WP_Query( array( 'post_type' => 'post', 'post__in' => $valute,'orderby' => 'count' ) );

if ( $pquery->have_posts() ) {
        echo '<ul>';
	while ( $pquery->have_posts() ) {
		$pquery->the_post();
		echo '<li>' . the_post_thumbnail('thumb-medium') . '</li>';
	}
        echo '</ul>';
} else {
	// no posts found
}

?>

    I get the output but the listed items follow no order, also, changing the value of $limit to example 1 still displays all of my posts (I have only 3 for testing). Any tips or ideas? Cheers

    Your array $valute contains the IDs, titles, and counts of the records. not only the IDs. So i think it will ignored in the query.
    Use getMostVisitedPostIDs(7,1,true,false) to get an ID list and explode them to an array.

    Awesome, I’m fairly new to php so didn’t know about explode (as I initially tried to first push the ID list into an array).

    Here’s the final output, works as expected, query monitor shows no errors 🙂

    <?php
global $count_per_day;
$valute = explode(',',$count_per_day-> getMostVisitedPostIDs(7,5,false,false));
$pquery = new WP_Query( array( 'post_type' => 'post', 'post__in' => $valute ) );

if ( $pquery->have_posts() ) {
        echo '<ul>';
	while ( $pquery->have_posts() ) {
		$pquery->the_post();
		echo '<li>' . the_post_thumbnail('thumb-medium') . '</li>';
	}
        echo '</ul>';
} else {
	// no posts found
}

?>
