Hi TAGDIV team,
Recently we moved our news site to TAGDIV.
There is a problem witth the counting of post views.

To identify the problem, I compared the same post between Google analytics and WordPress-TAGDIV:

The issue has impact on several processes:
For examples:
1. Tagdiv flex block is using the post count to filter and sort posts.
2. Autors are monitoring their activity and measuring post success according to post view count.
3. Customers pay according to views.

Can you advise if I missed something in my setup or there is a bug in the template?

Thanks,

Hi haipo,
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 so it can 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 the real and unique value for your visitors is given by Google Analytics maybe from Jetpack stats too (and it can be used this option – https://i.imgur.com/lMxKPYK.png).
Thank you for your understanding!
