<p>This plugin allows you to dynamically return the number of posts in a particular category, tag, or custom taxonomy. Inserting <code>[cat_count value="category-slug"]</code> in a post or page, or <code><?php do_shortcode('cat_count slug="category-slug" '); ?></code> anywhere in WordPress’ code will return the number of posts in that particular category.</p>
<p>Useful for creating dynamic table of contents pages, keeping track of post stats, general bragging, or any place where keeping a running tally might be desirable.</p>

<h4>PLUGIN DEPRECIATED</h4>
<p>Now, we are finally convinced that GOOGLE ANALYTICS stats and tracking systems are uncomparably superior (which also comes as other plugins, i.e. we like <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/google-analytics-for-wordpress/" rel="ugc">Google Analytics [by MonsterInsights]</a>) over useless “POST-VIEWS” plugins, because these drawbacks:<br />
– There are tons of bots, crawlers, search or aggregation engines, that view your websites and pages daily, and “view your posts”. That ends up in fake/boosted “Post views” dramatically.<br />
<strong>Beside bots, many people just …:</strong><strong><br />
– people open the pages in the background and close them without reading at all<br />
– open the pages, but close while site is still loading<br />
– open the pages, but close quickly, under 1-2 seconds, without reading your pages..<br />
– and many other reasons.</strong></p>
<p>All these actions still increases the <strong>Post-views</strong> counter. <strong>So, to say decisively, such numbers are not of any real help, instead they just mislead site-owners and their decisions.</strong>.</p>
<h3>… What is solution?</h3>
<p>We praise Google Analytics (or alike) tracking systems. <strong>This is what they are made for !</strong> This is the field, where they know what to do. Just state-of-the-art. They give you statistics not only of page-views, average duration (seconds), Realtime , but other tons of statisctis, which gives you <strong>realistic information about your posts and website</strong>, to make correct decisions.</p>
<p>YOU WILL NOT REGRET.</p>
<p>Just spend 2 minute to sign up for Google Analytics, get the code and use “Google Analytics” plugin.</p>
