Specify Page for Post View Count

  • Great plugin. Thanks, Jeremy. I use it on pngyoung.com/Hiking

    I would like to display the number of hits, specifying a post other than the current post. I would put this in a column of a table containing a list of posts.

    For example, include in the shortcode the ID of the page for which to display the count.

    Would this practical? Does it generate a separate query to JetPack for each instance? The table will be quite large.

    Thanks.

    Yes, this will make one query for each post, and will create an entry in your database for each post.

    I’ve considered adding the feature to my plugin, notably to display the stats for each post in the dashboard, but those limitations have proven problematic. You can read more about it here:

    I’ll post here whenever I make progress on this. Until then, I’m afraid I have no good solution that wouldn’t unnecessarily blow up your site’s options table.
