I want to remove page/post views from the pages/posts themselves so it is not visible to other people, but I want it to keep counting the views so I can still use the Filtering by popularity (im guessing it filters by views) and see the views when im in the page/post editor on wordpress.
Is this possible? If so.. how? I am guessing maybe some custom css could remove the views thingy just like meta info can be masked.
Hi,
You could hide them with some CSS, the views are only displayed in the post page. Try a code like this, it should work for all the post templates
.single .td-post-views {
display: none;
}
Enter it in Theme panel->Custom CSS code section.
Thanks
Hello, this did not work…
Is it possible the code is not good, because I did exactly as you said.
Hi,
It should work for the post pages, although maybe not for all the post templates. What post templates are you using?
I will test the ones you mention, maybe this code needs to be modified.
On the Theme Panel settings under Post Settings I have a default post template STYLE 13 set site wide, all of my posts use that template.
I had tested with Style 10 and it didn’t do anything for that one either.
I tried adding the CSS under Custom CSS code section in theme panel like you said, when that didn’t work I also tried adding it to Live CSS but it won’t work either.
And I emptied cache after these changes, and I tried switching between both the Ajax and Normal counter thinking the code might work for one of them.
This will work in that case, for post template style 13

.td-post-template-13 .td-post-header .td-post-title .td-post-views {
display: none;
}
This will work, but the view count is visible for a second when page loads.
Thats not good.
The code will take some time to apply, it will be loaded after the theme CSS. Try to enter it in the theme stylesheet file, at the end

The the code would load faster.
