Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
Release cadence
Occasionally updatedHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Estimated value
What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.
Est. annual revenue
Est. acquisition value
No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

Hello,I’ve been using your plugin for a long time to display the post views on my website. I also used another free plugin available at “wordpress . org / plugins / echo-knowledge-base”, and your plugin used to display its post view stats as well. However, it no longer does so. Please update your useful plugin so that this issue can be resolved for other plugins too. Wishing you all the best.

It works for me WordPress 6.7.1 Any way to isolate admin views? So far so good, thanks!

It didn’t work for me. It was counting only my views, the administrator of the site.

This plugin is exactly what I have been seeking! It is a simple implementation but elegant in its use. The Developer is very responsive to any issues that arise. The ability to customize the text portion of the shortcode’s output makes life easier!

This has been working well until Today, 8th Feb 2024, when I updated this plugin to 2.0.1 and it broke my site. It brought this error: Security check. I had to deactivate it. Please fix it. I am on the latest WordPress Version 6.4.3 Thanks

Post View Count <= 1.8.4 – CSRF – The plugin does not have CSRF checks in some places, which could allow attackers to make logged in users perform unwanted actions via CSRF attacks
