Shortcode on index.php

Resolved

(@jarljmr)

Hi Hector. Thank for awesome plugins. I have in use for many year! Thank very much!
I see your snippet for show views in single.php this thread:
https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/show-wpp_get_views-with-shortcode/

I use:

/**
 * Registers the shortcode [wpp_views_count].
 *
 * @author Hector Cabrera (https://cabrerahector.com)
 * @return string
 */
function wpp_views_count_func() {
    if (
        function_exists('wpp_get_views')
        && is_single()
    ) {
        $views_count = wpp_get_views( get_the_ID() );
        return ($views_count == 1) ? '1 view' : $views_count . ' views';
    }

    return '';
}
add_shortcode( 'wpp_views_count', 'wpp_views_count_func' );

I want show count views for index.php whit shortcode. But, this code no show views, except in single.php

How i can do?

Some way for do show coutviews in frontpage?

Hi @jarljmr,

If you want to show the views count of your posts on your homepage you don’t really need a shortcode. Since you’re going to be editing your index.php file anyways then you could just use this:
```
$views_count = wpp_get_views( get_the_ID() );
echo ($views_count == 1) ? '1 view' : $views_count . ' views';
```
(This need to be placed somewhere inside the loop.)

Thank Hector. I am using Generatepress and add new element > Hook.

This code:
```
<?php
$views_count = wpp_get_views( get_the_ID() );
echo ($views_count == 1) ? '1 view' : $views_count . ' views';
?>
```
Just add ?php and ? for work.

Thank Hector.
