Add this function to your theme's functions.php file to prevent users from inflating the views count of a post or page by repeatedly hitting F5 / browser's refresh key.

Basically, this script will check whether the visitor has already seen a specific post/page today and if so it'll signal WordPress Popular Posts not to track any repeat visits for the day. The script stores this "viewed" data in localStorage, including the date of the visit.

Please note that this is not a bullet proof solution. Some more savvy users may find a way to work around it so feel free to modify it / improve it as you see fit.

Add this function to your theme's functions.php file to have WordPress Popular Posts avoid tracking visits generated by bots.

Note that this isn't a silver bullet and chances are that 1) it won't catch all bots, and 2) it might flag some visitors as bot. This is just a proof-of-concept bot tracking script, feel free to modify it / enhance it as you see fit.

Adding Views column to the Posts Manage page

This Gist shows how to add a sortable Views column to the post/page/custom-post-type edit screen.

Out of the box, the script will display the Views column on both the Posts and Pages screens. You can change that by editing the $post_types_with_views_column array at the beginning of the script.

How do I add this to my site?

Using the text editor of your preference, create a file called wpp-sortable-columns.php and add the contents of this script to it.
Place the wpp-sortable-columns.php file in wp-content\plugins.
