Arewa Recently Viewed Content is a lightweight and professional WordPress plugin that tracks and displays recently viewed content for both logged-in and guest users. All data is stored on your server; no external tracking or third-party services are used.
When users are logged in, viewing history is saved to their user account. When they are not logged in, the plugin uses cookies to store history locally. After login, cookie-based history is automatically merged into the user account so nothing is lost. The plugin is designed to work correctly in WebView and mobile app contexts, supports multiple content types and layouts, and is optimized for performance and user experience.
Key Highlights:
<ul>
<li>Dual Tracking System: Tracks viewing history for both logged-in users (via user meta) and guest users (via cookies)</li>
<li>Automatic Sync: Merges guest history into user account upon login</li>
<li>Privacy-Friendly: No external tracking services or third-party dependencies</li>
<li>Multiple Layouts: Choose from Video, Article, Shop, and Carousel layouts</li>
<li>WooCommerce Compatible: Dedicated shop layout for product tracking</li>
<li>Mobile & WebView Ready: Works seamlessly in mobile apps and WebView environments</li>
<li>Performance Optimized: Efficient database queries and caching mechanisms</li>
<li>Fully Responsive: All layouts adapt beautifully to any screen size</li>

<h3>How It Works</h3>
For Logged-In Users:
When a logged-in user views a post, page, or product, the plugin automatically saves the post ID, post type, and timestamp to the user’s meta data. The history is stored in the database under the meta key <code>arewa_recently_viewed</code> and persists across sessions and devices.
For Guest Users:
When a guest (non-logged-in) user views content, the plugin stores the viewing history in a browser cookie named <code>arewa_recently_viewed</code>. The cookie expires after 30 days and is accessible across the same browser sessions.
Automatic Sync on Login:
When a guest user logs in, the plugin automatically: 
1. Reads the guest history from the cookie 
2. Merges it with any existing user history 
3. Removes duplicates (keeping the most recent timestamp) 
4. Saves the merged history to user meta 
5. Clears the guest cookie
This ensures a seamless experience where users never lose their browsing history when they log in.
Revisiting Content:
When a user revisits previously viewed content, the plugin: 
1. Updates the timestamp to the current time 
2. Moves the item to the first position in the history 
3. Maintains the most-recent-first ordering
