Question about number of viewers

Hi Amir!

The plugin has a feature called “Time Range” that allows you to have WPP list the most viewed posts from the last 24 hours, the last 7 days, last 30 days, etc.

If you set the WPP widget to “last 7 days”, it’ll show the views count registered during that time range. Same goes for the other time ranges as well.

Thanks for the compliment 🙂

Just wanna know is this compatible with wp-rocket cache plugin and ssl + http/2?

If you enable the “Ajaxify widget” feature, WPP should be able to work with most (if not all) caching plugins out there. Just make sure you clear wp-rocket’s cache once after installing WPP so it can track your posts & pages correctly.

Hi Amir!

The statistics from WPP are independent from any others you may have on your site. Check the first two FAQs for a slightly more detailed explanation on how WPP works.

Does it show the number of views or viewers?

It’s the former, Amir 🙂

Again, as I previously said above, WPP gathers its own data from the time it was installed on your site. Any previous data gathered by a third party software such as your theme’s views function, Google Analytics, another WordPress plugin, etc. is something beyond WPP’s control.

Ah, that’s a different story!

Alright, I need to know a few things in order to be able to give you an answer / help you out:

• How does your theme calculate the views count? The process might be slightly different from how WPP does it, which ultimately could lead to differences in the views count. For example: WPP updates the views count via AJAX to prevent bot / spider visits from inflating it. Does your theme also filter out visits from bots / spiders? If it doesn’t, then that could explain the difference. I’ve tested WPP for a long time now and even compared it to the stats given by Google Analytics for my site and I can confidently say that the data is almost identical to what WPP reports.
• Are you using a caching plugin? If so, you need to clear its cache once after installing / upgrading WPP – Otherwise WPP might fail to track some pageviews until the cache is refreshed.

It’s possible, I just refuse to 😛

Personally I don’t want to know how many bots / spiders have visited my site – I care more about how many people have.

If what bothers you is that your theme is showing somewhere its views count (eg. in the post / page detail), know that WPP also has its own method to get the pageviews of a single post / page that you can use to display it on single.php (or just about anywhere else if you provide the post / page ID): wpp_get_views().

Don’t mention it 🙂 Enjoy the plugin!
