Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Entry Views

The plugin was originally created as a script for use with some of my themes. However, it's not a good idea to package something like this with a theme because it'd stop working when switching between themes. Therefore, the script was ported over into a plugin for everyone to use, regardless of the theme they're using.

As soon as you install and activate the plugin, it'll start tracking post views immediately. From that point, you can use the "Entry Views" widget in one of your theme's sidebars to display the most viewed posts.

Yes, you can certainly do this. It will require editing your theme's templates and inserting a simple line of code within The Loop. You'll need to enter the following: <?php if ( function_exists( 'ev_post_views' ) ) ev_post_views(); ?>

By default, it supports the following post types: Post Page Media/Attachment Portfolio Item - Custom Content Portfolio Plugin Restaurant Item - Restaurant Plugin Recipe - Upcoming recipe plugin Literature - Upcoming literature/writing plugin

Yes, I definitely will. If you give me the name of the post type or of the plugin that you use, I will be more than happy to add support for it.

Yes, you can absolutely do this. If you're registering the post type yourself, simply add support for entry-views in your supports array. If you're adding support for a post type that you're not registering, add the following code to your plugin file or theme's functions.php: add_action( 'init', 'my_register_post_type_support' ); function my_register_post_type_support() { add_post_type_support( 'your_post_type_name', 'entry-views' ); }

One feature I'd like to add is to the admin area. It'd be neat to show each post's views on the edit posts screen and even allow you to sort the posts by number of views. Other features are really up to you all. If you have a feature request, please don't hesitate to ask.

Unfortunately, I cannot provide free support for this plugin to everyone. I honestly wish I could. My day job requires too much of my time for that, which is how I pay the bills and eat. However, you can sign up for my support forums for full support of this plugin, all my other plugins, and all my themes for one price.
