Dear tagDiv Support,
I run a multiple author website, and I set JetPack only for Administrators and Editors. So I was sure that only Administrators and Editors were able to see stats.
Unfortunately, I discovered that in any case all users can see POST VIEWS COUNT on back-end dashboard.
I really cannot show this sensitive data to authors and collaborators, these are for me non-disclosable information.
So I pray you to support me in making proper changes to avoid that authors and collaborators can see Post Views Count on back-end dashboard. Only Administrators and maybe Editors can see them.
If not possible, I can also accept that no one can see Post Views Count (I can use Analytics, JetPack stats, etc), but it urges for me to hide these non-disclosable information.
Waiting your courteous reply,
Best Regards,
Marco M.
Only Administrators and maybe Editors *should see post views count.
PS: I have updated right now the Newspaper theme to 9.7 (plugins included) and I have extended support for 1 year more.
Hi,
In order to show the views counter only for admin you need to set this custom code in wp-content/themes/Newspaper/functions.php
if ( !is_admin() ) {
echo "
<style>
#td_post_views
{
display: none;
}
</style>";
}

Thank you!
It doesn’t work, sorry!
I made the suggested changes but nothing happened.
As simple author, I can see views counter đ
Can you check it please?
Hi,
I checked that code again, and for me is working on the backed ( posts), but is look like is make some conflicts and change the fronted layout.
Please remove that code from theme file and try this one -> https://www.screencast.com/t/mBr94Famvr in wp-admin/edit.php
if( current_user_can( 'administrator' ) ){}else{
echo " <style> #td_post_views { display: none; } </style>";
}
Please make sure that you clear all cache
Thank you!
Dear Calin,
I applied your suggestion, and it happens something strange: “Views” label disappeared, but the views count numbers are still there in their column, even if now it is an untitled column.
Something wrong from my side?
Let me know,
Thank you and best regards,
Marco
Hi,
Please replace the code with this one
if( current_user_can( 'administrator' ) ){}else{
echo " <style> #td_post_views, .td_post_views, .column-td_post_views { display: none; } </style>";
}
Hope that this will work better!
Thanks.
Yes! This solution works fine!
Thank you very much,
Have a nice weekend,
Marco
