I took the freedom to ignore step #1 and step #3, as they seem being part of your primary approach to achieve your goal and not being your goal itself. I believe you can achieve your goal in a simpler way. function assign_last_posts_cat_by_views( $posts_number = 50, $delete_last_posts_transient = true ) { if ( true === … Read more

Open the template file of your homepage (it can be named different in different themes, so impossible to give you the exact name of file, but usually they are … Read more
Base on the updated code, the answer to your question, “How can I add filter or query to show the most views post (new posts) of last 24 hours?” is that you can’t do that. Your code is not tracking time at all. There is no way to pull ‘last 24 hours’ if you aren’t … Read more

You can automatically add a custom field to each new post on publish (on change status to publish). And then set it’s value to a random number between 829 and 1013. Here is the function that will do just that. // Create custom field on post publish function wpse_custom_field_on_publish( $new, $old, $post ) { if … Read more

This won’t work if page caching is enabled, I would recommend creating an ajax request which calls this function instead. e.g. add_action( “wp_ajax_nopriv_view_count”, ‘view_count’ ); add_action( “wp_ajax_view_count”, ‘view_count’ ); function view_count(){ update_post_meta($_GET[‘id’], ‘view_count’, $count++); } (then create an ajax call in JS which passes through the page id to this counting function) Ajax shouldn’t be … Read more
