WP-PostViews

Now I can independently control the logic of counting! Like this:

function exclude_wp_post_views_count($should_count, $id) {
    if ( current_user_can('administrator') ) { // or other condition(s)
        $should_count = false;
    }
    return $should_count;
}
add_filter('postviews_should_count', 'exclude_wp_post_views_count', 10, 2);


Thanks for the filter 'postviews_should_count'!

Enables you to display how many times a post/page had been viewed.
