Have been using this a while along side Advanced Queries and Elementors Loop widget to display a list grid of most popular articles on a website. Doesnt seem to be working anymore. I think its still keeping count of the post views, but the views template variable isnt pulling in the correct posts. From the posts it is showing it looked like it stopped updating in January of this year. Will need to find another solution!
