I'm trying to create an users list to sort all users by the highest post views for each user, I added $output = array_slice($topuser, 0, 10); to get 10 users when i click load more in the next page, but this is repeating the first 10 users only!
After searching i found is need to add $paged and $offset to get the next page for the next users!
But sorry, I don't know how :(
I'm highly appreciated your time and help.
here's all my code i have done.
authors-ranking-list.php
<?php
function MostPopularArtistsFullList() {
global $wp_query;
$topuser = array();
$avatar_size = 100;
$args = array(
'role__in' => array('contributor', 'author'),
'hide_empty' => '1'
);
$users = get_users( $args );
foreach ( $users as $user ) {
$query = get_posts( array('author' => $user->ID, 'cat' => '3', 'numberposts' => -1, 'post_type' => 'post' ));
$counter = 0;
$post_count = count_user_posts( $user->ID );
if ( ! $post_count ) {
continue;
}
// get each post of a user
foreach ( $query as $post ){
$views = absint( get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'post_views_count', true ));
$counter += $views;
}
$topuser[] = array(
'id' => $user->ID,
'views' => $counter
);
wp_reset_query();
}
// function to sort array based on views count
function sortViews($a, $b) {
return $b['views'] - $a['views'];
