I have tried to use all 3 methods and yet the views are seamingly not all taken in account.
To be sure I set all delays to 0 and connected myself directly to phpmyadmin to look at a specific post post_views. When I hit F5 it works, but when using the website to go from one page to another (no browser reload) and page is loaded through ajax (pjax, theme is Waveme) the view is not incremented.

Is there a way to call the increase view function programmatically when page is loaded by ajax or something like that? How can we fix this?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

There’s a built in pvc_view_post( $post_id ) function located in functions.php file that allows you to do that programatically. Please try that.

For further reference if someone needs to do the same :

function increment_view_AJAX_script() {
    $ajax_nonce = wp_create_nonce('increment_post_view_nonce');
    ?>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        jQuery(document).ready(function($) {

            // Trigger action only when ajax loads page use PJAX or any other triggers your system uses to load page without browser reload
            $(document).on('pjax:complete', function() {


// find the ID in the template. Here it is in <main id="main"><article id="post-123">...</article></main>
                var mainElement = document.getElementById('main');
                var articleElement = mainElement.querySelector('article');

                if (articleElement) {
                    var postIDFull = articleElement.getAttribute('id');
                    if (postIDFull && postIDFull.startsWith('post-')) {
// Extract post ID from ID attribute (ex: post-643)
                        var postIDNumber = postIDFull.substring('post-'.length);
                        var postID = parseInt(postIDNumber, 10);
                        
// Call AJAX action to increase post views
                        $.ajax({
                            url: <?php echo json_encode(admin_url('admin-ajax.php')); ?>,
                            type: 'POST',
                            data: {
                                action: 'increment_post_view',
                                post_id: postID,
                                nonce: '<?php echo $ajax_nonce; ?>',

                            },
                            success: function(response) {
                                
                            }
                        });
                    }
                }
            });
        });
    </script>
    <?php
}
add_action('wp_footer', 'increment_view_AJAX_script', 500);

/**

function litt_increment_post_view_callback() {
    if ( isset($_POST['nonce']) && wp_verify_nonce($_POST['nonce'], 'increment_post_view_nonce') ) {
        if (isset($_POST['post_id'])) {
            $post_id = intval($_POST['post_id']);
            pvc_view_post( $post_id );
        }
    }
    die();
}
add_action('wp_ajax_increment_post_view', 'litt_increment_post_view_callback');
add_action('wp_ajax_nopriv_increment_post_view', 'litt_increment_post_view_callback');
