To Display Updating View Count With LiteSpeed Cache Use: <div id="postviews_lscwp"></div> to replace <?php if(function_exists('the_views')) { the_views(); } ?>. NOTE: The id can be changed, but the div id and the script must match. The plugin's js/wp-postviews-cache.js already posts the view and receives the new count back, so you only need to write that count into your div. Add this to your theme, or to a small script of your own enqueued after wp-postviews-cache:

const target = document.getElementById( 'postviews_lscwp' ); if ( target ) { target.textContent = event.detail.views + ' views'; } } ); Purge the cache to use the updated pages. To Get Views With REST API You can obtain the number of post views by adding views to your _fields parameter: /wp/v2/posts?_fields=views,title

The screen requires manage_options. The wp_postviews_capability filter is read

add_filter( 'wp_postviews_capability', function () { return 'edit_others_posts'; } );
