   Hi. How do I get visits from the bots not contain my "recently viewed posts"?

   Every time my posts are being visiteds, but by bots..

   Since the plugin dont count admin's visists, I think that this is possible..

   Hi, thanks for checking out my plugin!

   Create a handler for the recently_viewed_posts_new filter in your theme's functions.php that will return NULL on the bots' visits. For example,

   add_filter("recently_viewed_posts_new", "my_rvp_ignore_bot_visits");
   function my_rvp_ignore_bot_visits( $item ) {
       $bots = 'Google|msnbot|Rambler|Yahoo|AbachoBOT|accoona|' .
           'AcioRobot|ASPSeek|CocoCrawler|Dumbot|FAST-WebCrawler|' .
           'GeonaBot|Gigabot|Lycos|MSRBOT|Scooter|AltaVista|IDBot|' .
           'eStyle|Scrubby';
       return (preg_match("/$bots/", $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']) > 0) ? null : $item;
   }

   The code is from Jay Paroline http://wanderr.com/jay/detect-crawlers-with-php-faster/2009/04/08/ . I hope this helps.
