 * I downloaded and love this plugin, however, our site has been online for just
   over two years and we have been using another clunky counter which currently 
   reads 653,583 visitors. I’d like to set the start value of this counter at that
   and continue. I don’t care about past stats (browsers/countries/etc) we can just
   continue with the new counter. But there doesn’t seem to be any way to set that
   value. It shows up on the “counter details” page with a red ? but no place to
   enter a value. When you click on the ?, “initial count” appears redd off to the
   right. But you can’t set anything. I have written three times through my login
   account and haven’t received a reply. Can anyone help me with this please? This
   is a great counter, but this one issue is keeping me from using it. Thanks. I
   can be reached at [lairbear@gmail.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/set-initial-counter-value/lairbear@gmail.com?output_format=md)
