Hello,
the postviews counter increases when the article page is opened or also when the preview of the post is visualized on the home page?
Thanks
Hello,
Our view count elements from the theme counts each view regardless of the user who visits the posts (even the refresh will be counted), but if there cache or other similar options for improvements those can interfere. The first step will be to use the Ajax View Count to keep count when a cache is used.
If you want to have more control over post view count, please notice that you can handle it from Custom Fields from each post editor, like this -> https://www.screencast.com/t/fGWl7fxh6 -> https://www.screencast.com/t/wmrhc7pLPMk2
Now, Google Analytics provides real and unique value for your visitors, maybe from Jetpack stats, too (and this option can be used: https://i.imgur.com/lMxKPYK.png).
Thank you!
Hello, thank you for the answer.
Actually my question was to find out if the counter is incremented only when an article is actually opened (“sinlge post template”) or also when the preview of the article (image and title only) appears on the homepage or in some side bar for example.
Thanks
Hello,
Yes, the post view increases only if the post is opened.
Thank you!
