baw-post-views-count

This is very bad plugin, Do not use it if you do not want your website to be slow. Each visit, this plugin will insert to wp_postmeta table one row. This causes the wp_postmeta table to increase the number of rows over time. Table wp_postmeta is important because every regular Wordpress query is joined to this table. Do not use it if you do not want your website to be slow! Example: MariaDB [xxxxx]select * from wp_postmeta order by meta_id desc limit 10; +---------+---------+---------------------------+------------+ | meta_id | post_id | meta_key | meta_value | +---------+---------+---------------------------+------------+ | 138843 | 3466 | _count-views_day-20171118 | 1 | | 138842 | 10266 | _count-views_day-20171118 | 1 | | 138841 | 3436 | _count-views_day-20171118 | 1 | | 138840 | 8485 | _count-views_day-20171118 | 1 | | 138839 | 9338 | _count-views_day-20171118 | 1 | | 138838 | 4667 | _count-views_day-20171118 | 1 | | 138837 | 3144 | _count-views_day-20171118 | 2 | | 138836 | 4425 | _count-views_day-20171118 | 1 | | 138835 | 2458 | _count-views_day-20171118 | 1 | | 138834 | 8210 | _count-views_day-20171118 | 1 | +---------+---------+---------------------------+------------+ MariaDB [xxxxx]> select count(*) from wp_postmeta where meta_key like '%count-views_day%'; +----------+ | count(*) | +----------+ | 71996 | +----------+ 1 row in set (0.08 sec) Simple Wordpress query, but it takes 3.19 seconds MariaDB [admin_dbwiki]> SELECT SQL_NO_CACHE DISTINCT post_title, ID, post_type, post_name -> FROM wp_posts wposts -> LEFT JOIN wp_postmeta wpostmeta ON wposts.ID = wpostmeta.post_id -> LEFT JOIN wp_term_relationships ON (wposts.ID = wp_term_relationships.object_id) -> LEFT JOIN wp_term_taxonomy ON (wp_term_relationships.term_taxonomy_id = wp_term_taxonomy.term_taxonomy_id) -> WHERE (post_type='page' -> OR (wp_term_taxonomy.taxonomy = 'category' AND wp_term_taxonomy.term_id=197)) -> AND post_status = 'publish' AND LENGTH(post_title)>=5 ORDER BY LENGTH(post_title) ASC LIMIT 500; ........ 17 rows in set (3.19 sec)

The latest version 3.0.2 does not count the views, to fix it you should open file bawpv.php and uncomment 2 lines line #445: // if( is_home() || is_front_page() || bawpvc_main() ) { line #454: // }

I do appreciate the old version plugin, it worked perfect. However, after wordpress upgraded to 4.4, the plugin will not work normally.[post_view time="day"]and [post_view time="month"]display all the same thing even I used it over one day. [post_view time="day"]will display correct number first, then after 0.1second, it will be replaced by the number from [post_view time="month"]. I believe it is the best plugin about counting views, however we got some pain now. Juliobox, could you please upgrade it asap?I would like to donate some bucks.

Nice job... i love this plugin
