Post Views Plugin
Now I have installed the WP-PostViews (Version 1.10) into my WordPress installation, thanks to Lester ‘GaMerZ’ Chan.
This required all the downloaded files to be uploaded to my Plugin directory, then activate the plugin.
Then I added the required code
anywhere below
in the single.php and the page.php files in my theme folder.
This now adds a statement at the bottom of posts/pages, showing how many times the post or page has been viewed by non-registered members (ie, it excludes me!!).
I also added it to the Main Index Template (index.php) so that the “popularity” of posts can be seen from the main page.
