Hi, I am trying to show post views on my website. I have a custom post type in which I add custom taxonomies and I add your code <?php echo do_shortcode('[post-views]'); ?> to my file taxonomy-name and it’s not working, nothing to showing me.

Question is where you add this shortcode? It has to reside inside a posts loop so that it gets data from a post.
Otherwise you can try using a function and passing a post ID to it (please check functions.php plugin file to see the functions you have available)

I don’t have the loop, and I don’t have any code in my function file.

I am having about the same problem.
Post views are displayed when I am connected only…

Hello, any help?

In order to display the views you need to pass post ID. The shortcode assumes that it is used in a loop of posts because this is where the post object is always present https://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop.

If you use the shortcode outside of a loop it will not work – there is no post ID for which to get the views.

In order to get the views anywhere you want you can use a function (that is located in functions.php file in the plugin folder) – pvc_get_post_views( $post_id ). This function accepts one parameter – post ID. If you pass it like pvc_get_post_views( 123 ) you will get the views count for post 123.

Hope this helps,

how i can display on tag archive page. let say i have a url
```
https://mydomain.com/tag/counter
```
And there is no post inside, I add only HTML to this URL. So what is the way to show views on this URL?

This is my code in custom taxonomy file (taxonomy-tv_channels.php)
```
<?php get_header(); ?>

<h1><?php $taxonomy = get_queried_object(); echo  $taxonomy->name; ?> Live Tv Online</h1>


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=<?php the_field('url'); ?>


<?php echo do_shortcode('[post-views]'); ?> Views


<?php get_footer(); ?>
```
As you can see that I added the post views code inside but not working at all. If I use a loop then it messes up the page.

Also i try to search and found this, so how i can make it work with your plugin.
```
function my_count_views() {
    if ( is_category() ) {
        $views = intval( get_term_meta( get_queried_object_id(), 'category_views', true ) );
        update_term_meta( get_queried_object_id(), 'category_views', $views + 1 );
    }
}
add_action( 'template_redirect', 'my_count_views' );
```

If you are using shortcode, the temporary workaround would be to use the pvc_post_views_html filter like this:
```
add_filter( 'pvc_post_views_html', 'custom_pvc_post_views_html', 10, 5 );
/**
 * It replaces the number of views in the Post Views Counter plugin with the number of views in the
 * Post Views plugin
 * 
 * @param html The HTML to be filtered.
 * 
 * @return the html.
 */
function custom_pvc_post_views_html( $html ) {
	if ( ! function_exists( 'pvc_get_post_views' ) ) {
		return $html;
	}

	$views = pvc_get_post_views();

	$html = preg_replace( '/<span class="post-views-count">(.*?)<\/span>/', '<span class="post-views-count">' . $views . '</span>', $html );

	return $html;
}
```
The alternative option would be to use the pvc_get_post_views() function instead of do_shortcode() and pass a post ID to it.
