    Good afternoon, Adam!
    Thank you for the plugin, I love it. But I have a question: Is it possible to display the number “0” in the absence of views of a post? Your plugin, if a post has views, – displays the number of views, but if the new post and still no views – the plugin does not output anything. It seems to me that this is not a very good decision and in my opinion it needs to display the number “0”. Can I somehow change that?

    I’m having trouble pushing a new version out, but in the plugin.php file search for this line:

    if ( empty( $views ) ) return;

    and change it to:

    //if ( empty( $views ) ) return;

    That should be all you need!

    Thank you, Adam!
    Yesterday tried your way to comment out the “if (empty ($ views)) return;” – does not work, maybe it was necessary to wait for an update to the database from jetpack? But today came update your plugin, and after update – it worked! Posts, even without views, show the number of ‘0’.
    But! plugin correctly displays the number ‘0’ only if use the shortcode “[view-count]” or so: <? php echo do_shortcode (‘[view-count]’); ?>, but if use the plugin so: <? php echo get_post_meta ($ post-> ID, ‘views’, true);?> – It still will not display the number “0”.
    In any event – thanks a lot!

    Cool, I’m glad the update worked!

    That’s on you to format the output when using <?php echo get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'views', true ); ?>. You’ll want to do something like this:

    <?php
    
    	$views = get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'views', true );
    
    	if ( empty( $views ) ) {
    
    		echo 0;
    
    	}
    
    	else {
    
    		echo $views;
    
    	}
    
    ?>
