How to stop measuring stats in some cases?

    Hi,
    First of all I would like to thank for this fantastic and awesome plugin. I am very happy with it!
    I really appreciate author’s support and the feature “Load tracker on all pages” was implemented after my suggestion, as far as I remember. Thank you one more time.

    I have a wordpress post, which offers some kind of calculator and it is often visited, one of the top posts on my site. I know I could do the calculator in JS, but I prefer to send a form and display a result after page load. I have Google ads on my site and the more page loads, the more ads I display.

    I want to know how many people got to the bare post, without sending any data to see results. So I added a short code:

    if (!empty($_POST)) {
    remove_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'tptn_enqueue_scripts' );

    It achieved the goal, and the initial visit is counted, but when the visitor enters some data to calculate it, I don’t count visits.

    Unfortunately it removes all the advantage of “Load tracker on all pages” and my autoptimize plugin creates a separate js file without just top-10 code, which I don’t want.

    What can I do to have top-10 script in the source of the page but somehow have a switch, whether I want to have the visit counted or not?

    I know it might be a pretty exotic request, but I would really appreciate if there was a way to achieve it – to have top-10 JS code, but without counting the visit.
    It may count something else instead like a dummy post, I don’t mind.

    Thank you in advance!

    @grzegorzjanoszka yes it was on your request. And, it’s inspired me to see what else I can track – yet to figure out how exactly!

    One way I think is by using your same logic above, but passing a different set of args with a filter function

    https://github.com/WebberZone/top-10/blob/master/includes/tracker.php#L86

    You can set activate_counter to 0 or just pass top_ten_id as 0

    Ajay,
    I got it working by using tptn_tracker_script_args. The suggestion you posted didn’t really work as I am using the fast tracker.
    Thank you again for fantastic support ??

    Thank you for confirming and the comment ??

    I’m starting to think you probably know my plugin better than me. Also glad to know you’re using my fast tracker add-on.
