• views

• you can manually update views in your database. Or you need to set this function in a while for all your posts, but not load it on each post display. – Gregory Commented Jun 17, 2019 at 14:57
• Thank you for the reply, is there no other way to make this work? if i put that rand(700,999); to views is not adding up instead it always generate 700 t 999 views each time users click that post.. – jonard Commented Jun 19, 2019 at 16:00
• each time you display your page, you ask to generate a new number, so, no, if you don't save this data only one time, it will never be the same. – Gregory Commented Jun 19, 2019 at 19:32
• another solution, set them all as empty, and if empty, fill it, if not, don't do anything. – Gregory Commented Jun 19, 2019 at 19:33

Use something like this : (add it in your function.php) and load your site once. after it finish, deactivate the function. (don't forget to declare your $postID)

function my_update_posts() {
    $count_key = 'post_views_count';
    $args = array(
        'post_type' => 'post',
        'numberposts' => -1
    );
    $myposts = get_posts($args);
    foreach ($myposts as $mypost){
        $mypost->post_title = $mypost->post_title.'';
        $count = rand(700,999);
        update_post_meta($postID, $count_key, $count);
        wp_update_post( $mypost );
    }
}
add_action( 'wp_loaded', 'my_update_posts' );
