No. Views Metrics works with any WordPress site. WooCommerce is completely optional. When WooCommerce is installed, you get bonus features like product view tracking and a “Sort by most viewed” option on the shop page. ### Which tracking method should I use? If your site uses a caching plugin (WP Rocket, W3 Total Cache, LiteSpeed Cache, etc.), choose **JavaScript (AJAX)** or **REST API**. These record views asynchronously and keep counting correctly even when pages are served from cache. For sites without caching, **PHP (Standard)** is the simplest option. ### How does the unique visit throttle work? The throttle prevents the same visitor from inflating view counts. When set to e. g. 1 hour, a second page view from the same user within that hour is not counted. Set to 0 to count every page view. ### Is the plugin GDPR compliant? Yes. You can choose how IP addresses are stored: full (best duplicate detection), anonymized (last octet removed), or disabled (no IP storage at all). A ready-to- use privacy policy snippet is provided under Advanced settings. ### Can I exclude bots and crawlers from view counts? Yes. By default, crawlers (Googlebot, Bingbot, etc.) and AI bots (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google Extended, etc.) are excluded. You can also exclude logged-in users, guests, specific roles, categories, posts, and IP addresses. ### Can I import views from another plugin? Yes. Go to Views Metrics > Advanced and use the Import tool. It supports WP-PostViews(` views` meta key), Post Views Counter (`post_views_count`), or any custom meta key. Preview the import before running it. ### How do I display the view counter manually? Use the `[cfvm_views_counter]` shortcode. It supports attributes for period (`today`,` week`, `month`, `total`), custom text with a `{count}` placeholder, and more. Two Gutenberg blocks are also available: Post Views and Most Viewed Posts. ### Does it work on multisite? Yes. Views Metrics supports multisite with network-wide activation. Tables are created for each site automatically, including newly created sites. ## Àwọn àgbéyẹ̀wò Kò sí àwọn àgbéyẹ̀wò fún plugin yìí. ## Àwọn Olùkópa & Olùgbéejáde “CodeFaeries Views Metrics” jẹ́ ètò ìṣàmúlò orísun ṣíṣí sílẹ̀.
