Hi I’ve been using .single .td-post-views { to hide post views. After I updated to newspaper 9 the post views are showing again, how can I fix this?
display: none;
}
Hi,
That code may not work for all the post templates, it may require modifications for some. For example it works for post template default

But it does not work for post template 2

Try it with !important as a first step
.single .td-post-views {
display: none!important;
}
I could take a look if that does not work, provide an example where it’s not working.
Thanks
Hi,
.td-post-template-13 .td-post-header .td-post-title .td-post-views {
display: none;
}
.single .td-post-views {
display: none!important;
}
Both of these work (I’m using layout 13) although I don’t like that you can literally see the view count disappear when the post is loading, is there any way to load it faster so it can’t be seen? I would imagine by adding either of these codes to the theme code, if so, how?
Thanks.
Hi,
There is a way, add the code directly in the theme stylesheet at the end of the existing code

Note that after a theme update the stylesheet will be replaced with the new one, so this will have to be done again.
There would be another way, more future proof. If you have a child theme copy the post template file in it

You can modify it there safely, not worrying about losing this modification when updating the theme. A plus with this method in this case, will be that the views will not be loaded entirely instead of hidden. You could give it a try if you want.
If you don’t have a child theme, one is provided in the theme package and you can install it
