Ok,
Usually I don’t like to modifying a plugin directly because when you update the plugin you have to be careful or you’ll overwrite your code, however I do feel this is an enhancement to the plugin and I have a custom set of digits anyway – so I don’t really think it matters at this point. If you’d like to add shortcode functionality to the plugin, the process is very simple:
- Navigate to your plugins folder > wordpress-hit-counter
- Open image.php and add the following function right before the
?>
close: https://pastebin.com/79BSjikg
- Save your file
*If you’d like to add it to a page just use the shortcode: [wHitCounter]
*If you’d like to add it to your template, wherever you’d like to see the counter use the following code: <?php echo do_shortcode("[wHitCounter]"); ?>
Simple as that! Hope it helps ??
