Good basic counter
by justmehereinbrisbane·11 months ago
It does everything that I need.
Thank you
Just what I wanted
by taastrategies·1 year ago
Installed this on one website and liked it so much I installed it on a second. Nothing to do except install it, purge the cache, log out, and log in. The display of page counts on the dashboard is just what I wanted.
OK, but not very friendly

Compared to what I was using (Advanced Page Visit Counter, which was removed for security reasons), this plug-in does the job – but is very cumbersome and not very friendly. It would be so much more useful with shortcodes. Also, would like to be able to use shortcodes on any page to get statistics about any other page counts (a statistics web page if you will – without ever having to log in to the admin panel).
Two stars for me due to the plug in being cluncky, not very useful outside of the admin dashboard and lack of shortcodes and ease of use.
More trouble than its worth

This plugin crashed my website as soon as I installed it. I couldn’t even get into my admin panel to disable the plugin. I eventually found out a way to disable by going to the source file folders and renaming the folder this one came in to something else.
Fantastic Plugin…!!!!
