This is very bad plugin, Do not use it if you do not want your website to be slow.
Each visit, this plugin will insert to wp_postmeta table one row. This causes the wp_postmeta table to increase the number of rows over time. Table wp_postmeta is important because every regular WordPress query is joined to this table.
Do not use it if you do not want your website to be slow!
Example:
MariaDB [xxxxx]select * from wp_postmeta order by meta_id desc limit 10;
+———+———+—————————+————+
| meta_id | post_id | meta_key | meta_value |
+———+———+—————————+————+
| 138843 | 3466 | _count-views_day-20171118 | 1 |
| 138842 | 10266 | _count-views_day-20171118 | 1 |
| 138841 | 3436 | _count-views_day-20171118 | 1 |
| 138840 | 8485 | _count-views_day-20171118 | 1 |
| 138839 | 9338 | _count-views_day-20171118 | 1 |
| 138838 | 4667 | _count-views_day-20171118 | 1 |
| 138837 | 3144 | _count-views_day-20171118 | 2 |
| 138836 | 4425 | _count-views_day-20171118 | 1 |
| 138835 | 2458 | _count-views_day-20171118 | 1 |
| 138834 | 8210 | _count-views_day-20171118 | 1 |
+———+———+—————————+————+
MariaDB [xxxxx]> select count(*) from wp_postmeta where meta_key like ‘%count-views_day%’;
+———-+
| count(*) |
+———-+
| 71996 |

The latest version 3.0.2 does not count the views, to fix it you should open file bawpv.php and uncomment 2 lines
line #445: // if( is_home() || is_front_page() || bawpvc_main() ) {
line #454: // }

I do appreciate the old version plugin, it worked perfect. However, after wordpress upgraded to 4.4, the plugin will not work normally.[post_view time=”day”]and [post_view time=”month”]display all the same thing even I used it over one day. [post_view time=”day”]will display correct number first, then after 0.1second, it will be replaced by the number from [post_view time=”month”].
I believe it is the best plugin about counting views, however we got some pain now. Juliobox, could you please upgrade it asap?I would like to donate some bucks.

It’s a very nice plugin but after updates it stopped counting and the author was unresponsive. I purchased True Mag theme and with that it was compulsory to have this plugin in order to count views. I can understand it’s a free plugin but then also it’s not the way to create problem for other people.
It was like more then a week, after that i am giving review.

Since update 3.0 , 3.0.1 and 3.0.2 it has been nothing but buggy for EVERYONE who has updated. No views count, double counting, and blank white pages.
This was brought to the attention of the developer on October 9th or 10th. He has not responding to anyone’s concerns, nor has he mentioned he’s fixing it.
If you are going to install this plugin, don’t unless it’s 2.19.13. If you are buying a theme wait until it’s fixed or ask their creator for an alternate plugin for them to use.
It’s sad, this developer has the mindset of “It’s free so I’ll get to it later.” but doesn’t take into account the people donated to him over the years. A lot of great premium themes use this what use to be a wonderful plugin.

I’m updating my review. It seems the plugin is working and the problems I think most of us are having, besides some of the weird stuff, like wrapping in <p>…. It seems my theme TrueMag is the issue. I could be wrong but they gave me a workaround and I’m able to see the plugin is working as designed. Just go to the plugin’s settings and enable ” Will be displayed in bottom of content.” and you will see the count increasing even with caching enabled ?? but TrueMag does not..
BUT, the response of the developer has been poor. Just come out and talk to us. The attitude of “it’s free to shut up” is a poor one.. If that is your attitude then clearly state “NO SUPPORT” or just poor the plugin. But he had just upgraded and it seemed like a LOT of people had problems… Just communicate… It’s that simple.. I think this has left a bad taste in many people’s mouths, which is truly sad as the plugin is a good one, a bit heavy but good.
So – I will give a 4 star. If the dev would just speak up I would gladly give 5!
—– first review——
This is a GREAT plugin and prior to the 3.0 version it was rock solid…
Then the update….
Numerous people are having major problems, from double counts to blank pages to zero counts… Fair enough, updates are always a curious thing but the lack of response and in some cases the response of “this is free so” makes this plugin unreliable. Do I continue using it or go somewhere else? The attitude of the dev has been very poor. Just tell us you are working on it or this is how it is so we can go and do as we need…
So – When it worked it was a 6 star… PERFECT … but now it is a 0 stars as if you update or are new and use v3 then good luck.. .you are on your own and if it works then great but if it does not … lord only knows…
I hope the developer will fix this and I will be happy to donate and give it 5 stars…
Let’s cross our fingers and hope a fix comes soon.
but free is free… although I will pay – if it works ??

This plugin still doesn’t work with the newest version! Don’t download! If I could give 0 stars I would give that. No updates since weeks and no feedback.

The plugin stop working after update, so I decided to go back to my previous version. Unfortunately all my post counts gone immediately.
The support team is useless, they don’t respond for queries.

Plugin worked ok, but update
How can developer suddenly put count output in paragraph tags? Maybe use something less sensitive – span tags or something.

The plugin stopped counting?? What’s happening?
]]>Rating: 3 stars
Up to version 3.0, it would receive 5 stars. The content of the pages were no longer displayed from 3.0. Now fixed, but now the counter doesn’t count anymore. Please fix it. Otherwise I find the plugin very well and like to use it. Thank you Helmut

This works exactly as described. Nice, simple and brilliant.
Well done.
It would be great to see a graphic option/alternative so the ‘Count format’ shows a visual ‘popularity’ relative to other post counts on the same site ??
