I also used another free plugin available at “wordpress . org / plugins/ echo-knowledge-base”, and your plugin used to display its post view stats as well. However, it no longer does so. Please update your useful plugin so that this issue can be resolved for other plugins too. Wishing you all the best. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/686b5803cc18102d924a50f54aabf69c0789150c1b0e99ba99b091135875055a? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Works](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-2206/)󠁿 [Dr. Melvin Temo](https://profiles.wordpress.org/temovision/) December 13, 2024 It works for me WordPress 6.7.1 Any way to isolate admin views?
