not working plz update plugin
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.

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

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

Elegant and Simple
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!

Latest Update of 2.0.1 Causing Security Issues
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
