Hi,

I’m not sure I understand, this: http://awesomescreenshot.com/05340qznd6 are likes or post views? as I have noticed that your post views have increased so the posts views do work fine: http://screencast.com/t/lXmbS0N2d1ex

Thanks

Note that the post views only counts the “views” of the pages on YOUR website. It uses a data field, which appears with the post meta (e.g., if you open a post, look at custom fields and you can see the number there).

If you were previously using another counter system, with an existing datafield, you would need to edit a file in the theme by hand to change the datafield used by the theme to your existing datafield — which is likely shown in the list of custom fields for your posts when you open any existing post.

You would change the data field used by the theme to your existing counter data field, by editing
/themes/newsmag/includes/wp_booster/td_page_views.php

and then edit this element at top of file — in this case I’ve changed the field name to my own existing data field so that the pages now show my historical counts, not just the counts since I installed theme:
static $post_view_counter_key = 'views';
