Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about MWR Hit Counter

No. The cookie mode limits repeat increments from the same browser during 30 days. It is an approximation, not an exact person-level visitor count. Clearing cookies, using another browser/device, caching and bots can affect totals.

"Once per browser every 30 days" uses a first-party cookie to limit repeat increments. "Every page load" counts every server-rendered request containing the counter, including reloads. A full-page cache can bypass PHP execution on cached visits.

Yes. Every instance shares the same global total, but each shortcode or Gutenberg block can use its own style, size and number format. Position it with the surrounding layout or custom CSS.

No. Compact Counter only changes the displayed format. For example, 1,250 can be shown as 1.25K or 1,2K depending on locale/precision settings, while the underlying value remains 1,250.

Enable "Exclude administrators" in the settings. Requests from logged-in users who can manage site settings are skipped. Public users are unaffected.

Use [mwrcounter style="plain"] and add CSS in the theme or WordPress Additional CSS. The wrapper includes .mwr-counter-plain plus its size class. The plugin does not add decorative backgrounds, borders, shadows, underlines or animation to this style.

Yes. Updating preserves the existing counter table and old option names. New settings use safe defaults: cookie mode, WordPress locale formatting, two compact decimals and administrator visits included unless excluded explicitly.
