Saves view counts from <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/jetpack/" rel="ugc">Jetpack</a> Site Stats module as post meta data. This can be useful for displaying view counts in your theme and building <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query#Order_.26_Orderby_Parameters" rel="nofollow ugc">custom queries</a>.
What makes this a better solution over other view-tracking plugins is that it simply pulls the information from Jetpack, which is popular and provides fairly accurate data, so this has very little overhead. It’s a streamlined plugin that piggybacks off another which you might already be using.
Comes with a shortcode to display views and a filter to change the post meta key where views are saved.
Thank you to <a href="https://profiles.wordpress.org/dimadin/" rel="nofollow ugc">Milan Dinić</a> for improvements in the code after the initial release (and for the Serbian translation)!

WordPress Stats View Counter

Saves view counts from WordPress.com Stats Jetpack module as post meta data.

Easily count unique views of your posts.
Just install the plugin and the counting begins. No coding skills needed.
<h4>How does it work?</h4>
<ul>
<li>All views of the post will start at zero (0) upon the plugin installation.</li>
<li>When a visitor viewed your post, it will save a cookie on the visitor so that same visitor will only count as one (1) view, this way we can uniquely identify each visitor.</li>
<li>The cookie expires after a month, so if the same person viewed your post after the cookie expires it will count as another view.</li>
<li>Visitors who use “incognito” or something similar will be counted always as a unique visitor because “incognito” mode does not save cookies.</li>
<li>One (1) visitor = One (1) cookie.</li>
</ul>
Please rate and review the plugin if you find it useful.
