Multiply hits

[blacknightt1]

Hi again I want to change the number of hits from 1 to 4 For example, with each visit of each post, it should be calculated 4 times, not 1 times

Hi @blacknightt1,

Currently there's no way to do this, at least not without making changes to the plugin. You'll either need to wait for me to add a solution that allows this or you'll have to modify the plugin yourself if you need this kind of functionality right away.

I'm satisfied with this plugin, just add this item to the plugin thank you

Hi @blacknightt1,

Alright so I just added a new filter hook to the plugin called wpp_update_views_count_value that will allow you to change the views count of a post (a.k.a. "hits" that gets saved to the database when someone visits a post or a page (or a custom post type).

In your specific case, you'd need to add this code snippet to your theme's functions.php file (or to a site-specific plugin) to have WordPress Popular Posts "multiply" the views count by 4:

add_filter( 'wpp_update_views_count_value', function($views, $post_ID, $sampling, $sampling_rate) {
    return 4;
}, 10, 4);

Note that this filter hook is available only from plugin version 6.0.0 (which will be released officially soon) and on.
