WordPress Simple Pageview & Site Counter Plugin

The WP Simple Page Count plugin is a versatile and lightweight tool designed to effortlessly track and display page view statistics on your WordPress website. It can also be used as WordPress Site Counter. Whether you’re a blogger, business owner, or developer, this plugin provides an easy way to showcase your page hits with customizable shortcodes and a sleek, modern widget.

Features:

Flexible Shortcodes: Easily integrate page view statistics anywhere on your site using the shortcode like this:

Customizable Display: Tailor the widget to your preferences with adjustable parameters such as total count, today’s count, weekly count, monthly count, and a add custom starting number for the total count.

Styling Options: The plugin offers multiple style options, allowing users to choose from various layouts to match their website’s aesthetic.

How to Use:

Download the plugin zip from our Github. Then extrtact it in your WP /plugins folder. Activate the plugin.

Shortcode Integration: Place [.ewpg_page_views] (remove the dot) in any post, page, or widget to display the default page view statistics. Users can also customize the display using parameters. By default, the shortcode will display all stats in the widget using style 1.

The counter will be based on hits received by each WordPress page_id, therefore a new row that stores the page hits counter will be created for each page. Default page ID will be 1. So, if you have 10 pages, there will be only 10 entries created & updated in the plugin’s database table. The created database table will be deleted upon plugin deletion.

The counter values will reset via wpcron scheduler: Today (every 24 hours), Weekly (Every Sunday), Monthly (Every end of month), Total value won’t reset.

Custom Parameters:

• total: Include total count (e.g., total=”yes”). Value: yes
• today: Include today’s count (e.g., today=”yes”). Value: yes
• weekly: Include weekly count (e.g., weekly=”yes”). Value: yes
• monthly: Include monthly count (e.g., monthly=”yes”). Value: yes
• startno: Set a starting number for counts (e.g., startno=”1000″). Value: numbers only
• style: Choose from various widget styles (1-5, e.g., style=”3″). Value: 1 to 5
• credit: Hide the credit link with credit=”no”. Value: no

Example shortcodes:

1. To display Today & Total Hits with style 2: [.ewpg_page_views today=”yes” total=”yes” style=”2″] (remove the dot)
2. To display only Total Hits with custom startno: [.ewpg_page_views total=”yes” startno=”3234″] (remove the dot)

Default Styling Override:

Users can easily override the default styling by modifying the included CSS file or by enqueueing their own styles. The CSS file is located in the /public/css/ folder. Users can also inspect the widget css to apply CSS override.
