 * Hi,
 * I have this counter for postviews, using ACF and elementor.
 * But it wont count+ Its going back to one all the time?
 *     ```
       function child_theme_head_script() {
       	global $views;
       	if (is_singular('post')) {
       		$views = (int) get_field('views');
       		$views++;
       		update_field('count_view',$views);
       		echo $views;
       	}
       }
       add_action( 'wp_head', 'child_theme_head_script' );
       ```

 * you get a field with key ‘views’ and update a field with key ‘count_view’ – is
   that on purpose, and if what is the login behind it?
