Displaying custom text next to post view count

Hey there, thanks for reaching out!

If you’d like to customize the output of this plugin, the first thing you should do is declare support for it in your theme’s (or child theme’s) functions.php file:

add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'my_pageviews_support' );
function my_pageviews_support() {
    add_theme_support( 'pageviews' );
}

Then, wherever you would like to output the count in your theme’s templates, you can call a simple action, for example, inside the loop in single.php:

Post Views: <?php do_action( 'pageviews' ); ?>

A more thorough developer documentation is available on GitHub: https://github.com/pressjitsu/pageviews

Hope that helps!

Hey there! I just mentioned above exactly what code you need to put in which files. If you’re still having trouble with that, please feel free to reach out to us via e-mail – support@pressjitsu.com, and we’ll help you implement it on your server.

Try it out in different places and see how it works, worst case scenario you break things and undo your changes 🙂 Try and target somewhere inside “the loop” which is inside have_posts() anywhere after the_post(), you’ll see some functions there already, like the_title(), the_content(), etc. Don’t be afraid to experiment.
