Hi everyone,

I recently bought newspaper theme and so far i am happy with most of the features but one thing i noticed yesterday is that the view count for the posts increases with every page refresh. i would appreciate it if anyone has ideas on how to make it not count every page refresh from the same browser window.

It is simple hit counter, nothing more.

i’m sorry but what does “hit counter” mean? i’m not sure you understood my question.

Hi Devava,

The View Counter is count the numbers of visiting of post, so if you refreshing the page is lake you are visiting the post again.
Also those values can be set manually from post https://www.screencast.com/t/VExEOofHkjM

Thank you for your understanding.

let me rephrase my question “how do you make the function that counts views exclude page refresh”

Hi,

Unfortunately there is no option to do that, sorry; perhaps this is possible with some custom work in the code, but it need to have some code skills to do that.
If you want to have this functionality, you need to implement it yourself through the code and if you are not aware of the steps which are needed to take I this case, please consider hiring freelancer/developer to help you because we cannot provide custom work at the moment, sorry!

Thank you for your understanding!
