Plugin Description

“Post Hit Counter” does what it says on the tin – it counts how many hits your posts receive. Hit counts are displayed in a new column in the post list table, in the submit box on the post edit screen and in the admin bar on the frontend.

Plugin Features

  • Easily visible hit counts in the dashboard and in the admin bar on the frontend
  • Shortcode to display view count for current or specified post
  • Widget to display your most viewed posts anywhere on your site
  • Dashboard widget to show your most viewed posts at a glance
  • No complicated analytics and statistics to wade through
  • Option to select which post types must be counted
  • Option to select which user roles should not trigger the hit counter

This is not meant as a replacement for more advanced analytics plugins – it is a counter so you can see which of your posts are more popular without diving too deeply into complicated viewing statistics.

This plugin was initially created as a demo for a workshop I ran at WordCamp Cape Town 2014. I have since fleshed it out and enhanced it to be more useful.
