If you use the latest version of the plugin https://github.com/lesterchan/wp-postviews/archive/master.zip,
You can do the following in functions.php
add_filter( 'postviews_should_count', 'postviews_should_count', 10, 2 );
function postviews_should_count( $should_count, $id ) {
$post = get_post ( $id );
return $post->post_type === 'post';
}

Hi and thanks for your quick answer.
I have tried but your plugin continue to record all views in the database.
I would like to record only the views that are related to a specific postype, just to ensure to limit database access.
Any idea?

Did you replace ‘post’ with the post_type?
DO note that existing posts that already have the views will not be affected. Only newer created post will not increment their post, but they will still have a initial value of 0 in the views meta.

Hi,
Yes I have replaced post with my specific postype I want to follow on views.
I have also deleted all previews meta with ‘views’ key and as soon as I display a page, a new meta is created for this page.
For info, I’m using the WP Fastest Cache cache plugin. Do you think this is something that could have an influence on this?

Pat
Does the new meta contains 0 or it keeps increasing? I am not sure on the caching part as this plugin was never designed to be used with caching.

Hi,
Seems this is increasing each time we display a page (including the home page).
I have no record with 0. All records have a number >0

The other way I can think of is to change
https://github.com/lesterchan/wp-postviews/blob/master/wp-postviews.php#L56
From
if ( is_single() || is_page() ) {
To
if ( is_single() && ! is_page() ) {
