It’s the solution I was looking for. A simple privacy-friendly visit counter that allows me to keep track of audience interest.
★★★★★ @mauriziocarnago
I really love this plugin. I love how one can keep records of the total number of views on Posts… It helps me keep a record of my Progress. I appreciate the good work. Thank you.
★★★★★ @rosemarypinky
This plugin has allowed me to, at a glance, see how many people have viewed the articles, as well as letting my readers know as well. Love it
★★★★★ @revelnode
I like how this integrates with the existing Posts table, giving me live feedback without relying on a 3rd party analytics cookie/js.
★★★★★ @aarnott
Easy to use and finally a counter that counts ALL visitors. Only members signed in can see the count. Very Nice!
★★★★★ @vacklin
Convenient plugin. I like the possibility to display a counter only to selected groups of users (like admins), and view statistics on WP Posts page, with ability to sort posts by views.
★★★★★ @trichview
The Post Views Counter truly gives a fair metric. I also compare it with Google Analytics Report.
★★★★★ @skilltimes
Nice to see a plugin that works as expected. Highly recomended.
★★★★★ @geoffreym
