Hi there, we would like to turn off the page view number function for the newspaper theme, but couldn’t find the option, can you help us with this? thanks
Hello,
If you use a standard template, then you can use the option in the theme panel to deactivate view count –
If you use a single post template from the tagDiv Cloud Library, then it must be edited with tagDiv Composer, select the single post view count element and use the right click on this item to delete it – https://i.imgur.com/VIiWBF8.png – https://i.imgur.com/jsKBvhK.png
Thank you!
I have the same problem. Counting page views takes up too much server resources when the page has a lot of readers. I’m using a single post template. Single post view count element is deleted. Unfortunately, post views are still being counted.
How to block/disable it.
Hello,
Please check to also have the ajax view count disabled – https://i.imgur.com/vnaNke9.png and if the standard pack is active, deactivate this option as well – https://i.imgur.com/L57O4lr.png
I hope this will help!
Thank you!
tagDiv Standard Pack is disabled
ajax post view count is disabled
7 days post sortind is disabled
show post view is disabled
Unfortunately, it still counts post views in cms 🙁
Are you sure? My admin said it just hides the view, but the counting process is happening in the background anyway.
Hello!
If you disabled the settings, as my colleague explained to you, then how could it count extra views? Do you use an extra plugin for this feature?
Thank you!
I don’t use any additional plugin. I’m just surprised that this feature still works and that’s why I’m writing to you. Maybe this is something to investigate and fix in a future template update?
I am looking for a solution on the forum, because you have helped me a few times with other problems 🙂
I did the test.
I have several pages with your template on different hosting with different plugins.
Counting views works on every page even though I have disabled all options and even disabled all plugins.
Hello!
Is it crucial for you to disable the function that counts the views even if the views do not appear anywhere on your website?
Thank you!
Yes, very much. For two reasons:
1.
People logged in to cms who are not administrator or publisher can see it. This is data that can reveal too much information, e.g. in the context of advertising.
2.
I use your products on websites that generate large amounts of content and high traffic. If I have 26,000 articles in cms, the database and the server are unnecessarily loaded.
So I can disable this option or change the server. Either solution will cost me. Programmer or new machine 😉
Hello!
I will add this option to our improvement list.
Thank you for your feedback!
Ok, thank You 🙂
I don’t see that option.
here is a screenshot from my theme panel.
How will I disable view counts in posts?
Hi,
If you have a Single Post Template from Cloud Library, then you need to edit the post with tagDiv Composer => https://www.screencast.com/t/jHatJGC1qRf, select the Single Post Views => https://www.screencast.com/t/NhUGCRfI and with right-click, you can delete it.
If you have a standard template, then you can disable the post views from Theme Panel -> Post Settings -> Post and Custom Post Types => https://www.screencast.com/t/LAv90B5eZ (please make sure you have tagDiv Standard Pack activate for standard template)
Thank you!
I will add that this way you will only disable the view from the front end. In cms, impressions are still counting and the server is loaded.
Hi,
Please provide more details with screenshots.
Thank you!
kubick, was this issue ever resolved?
Unfortunately, their template still generates meaningless functionality. If you have a large website with sudden increases in website visitors, the database and server load is guaranteed.
I couldn’t explain to support what was going on, so I outsourced it to an external developer. Unfortunately we have to update the changed code after each theme update 🙁
I have to pay for it.
