Display post views within admin post columns

wordpress snippet

I posted a cool snippet yesterday to (track post views using post meta) I wanted to add a little to that today. Adding this snippet to the functions.php of your wordpress theme will display the post views next to each post in the wordpress admin.

snippet : PHPcopy

add_filter('manage_posts_columns', 'posts_column_views');
add_action('manage_posts_custom_column', 'posts_custom_column_views',5,2);
function posts_column_views($defaults){
    $defaults['post_views'] = __('Views');
    return $defaults;
}
function posts_custom_column_views($column_name, $id){
	if($column_name === 'post_views'){
        echo getPostViews(get_the_ID());
    }
}

Tried the snippet on two themes (multisite) – froze the admin pages in both cases and showing only 2 posts for each site. Why would that happen?

  @facebook-36916051:disqus this should not happen at all I would guess that the snippet may have issues with a pluggin you already have running. I have never tried this snippet on multi-site version of wordpress so I’m not sure. However it should not be a problem,
  I assume you have this snippet setup

  Then you can use the above to display the post view in a new column but both snippets are required. If you disable all the pluggins you can see if it works then and then enable one by one to see what plugin is a problem.

    thank you, Kevin, got it! I did not realize both snippets must be setup for everything to work

      Cool, glad to see you got things working.

Nice snippet. Is there a way to sort the posts by the number of views? It would be very helpful!

Its working. Thanks
But sorting the posts based on views would have made it complete. It helps to pull up posts that need more attention to generate traffic.

I can’t see view count . In the view count section , I saw this error message
Fatal error: Call to undefined function echo_views() inE:Softwarexampphtdocswpwp-contentthemesarclitefunctions.php on line 10
