# Post / Page view count 0 (zero)

 * I wanted to include a “most popular” widget, or even a views counter at the bottom
   of each post, but every one I have tried seems to think the count is 0 for all
   posts.
 * I know from analytics that I am getting about 1,600 views/month, so I am wondering
   why WordPress does not seem to retain the count?

 * Thanks in advance!

 * By default, WordPress does not count, so if you add a popular posts tool, the
   count is from that point going forward.

 * Thanks! You are absolutely correct!
 * I am a former Joomla user, and I thought somehow that that data would be in the
   database.
