With this tutorial, we will create a query that will count the number of post meta key<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Let’s say we need to create a post meta views that will count the number of views per post ID.<\/p>\n

First of all, we need to request the data used by fetching the meta key with get_post_meta.<\/p>\n

With the example below, we have the post meta key called _post_like_count which will count the number of likes for each WordPress post.<\/p>\n

Here’s the code snippet to inject into your single.php or custom single post type template.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n

<?php \n$podcast_date = get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), '_post_like_count', true); \n$count = $podcast_date; \necho $count; \nif ($count > 1) { \necho 'View(s)'; \n} \nelse { \necho 'view'; \n} \n?><\/pre><\/div>\n\t
