 * Hello 🙂
 * I really love your plugin – it’s great! But I have a little problem: when I update
   an article (for example, to correct an error), the counter starts from zero. 
   So all earlier views are deleted.
 * Is this function planned? What can I do to save the old views?
 * Greetings from germany,
    Caith 🙂

 * Sadly that is aside effect of allowing users to change the views easily view 
   the custom fields.
 * I would recommend only going to the edit post page when you need to rather than
   being on the page all the time.
