i want edit this code to auto increment not just +2 for each user's click and instead increment number would be random ( + 2 , + 4 , ... )

if( $should_count && ( ( isset( $views_options['use_ajax'] ) && (int) $views_options['use_ajax'] === 0 ) || ( !defined( 'WP_CACHE' ) || !WP_CACHE ) ) ) {
                update_post_meta( $id, 'views', $post_views + 2 );
                do_action( 'postviews_increment_views', $post_views + 2 );

my full wp postview code bellow:

### Function: Calculate Post Views
add_action( 'wp_head', 'process_postviews' );
function process_postviews() {
    global $user_ID, $post;
    if ( is_int( $post ) ) {
        $post = get_post( $post );
    }
    if ( ! wp_is_post_revision( $post ) && ! is_preview() ) {
        if ( is_single() || is_page() ) {
            $id = (int) $post->ID;
            $views_options = get_option( 'views_options' );
            if ( !$post_views = get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'views', true ) ) {
                $post_views = 0;
            }
            $should_count = false;
            switch( (int) $views_options['count'] ) {
                case 0:
                    $should_count = true;
                    break;
                case 1:

  • So you just need to pick a random number, save it in a variable so you use the same value twice, and then swap the + 2s for + that variable? Which bit do you need help with?

  • And why? Why not +1? That's the actual number of views you've got.

To randomly add 1-5 views, you can change the if ( $should_count block at the bottom to:

if( $should_count && ( ( isset( $views_options['use_ajax'] ) && (int) $views_options['use_ajax'] === 0 ) || ( !defined( 'WP_CACHE' ) || !WP_CACHE ) ) ) {
    $random_increment = rand( 1, 5 );
    update_post_meta( $id, 'views', $post_views + $random_increment );
    do_action( 'postviews_increment_views', $post_views + $random_increment );
}

I'm still not sure why you'd want to do this though.
