How to install Page Visits Counter – Lite

  1. FIRST DOWNLOAD PLUGIN ZIP FILE.
  2. Log in to your administration panel.
  3. Go to Plugins page, click on Add New, then click “Upload Plugin” .
  4. Then click “Choose file” then select the plugin zip file.
  5. Install and activate plugin.

ATTENTION

After the plugin is installed and activated, you need to flush the cache memory for all pages and delete minified javascript (JS) and styling (CSS) files.

( Minified JS and CSS files will be recreated automatically by their own plugin/software.)

WHY?

If you are using cashing method to improve your website loading speed then you have to clean the cache memory so the plugin code gets included in your website code.
Otherwise, it will not work.

WHERE TO FIND?

A WP website cashing options can be found in:

  1. WP cashing and automatic optimization plugins
  2. Server/Hosting ( Not every hosting has this option… )
  3. Cloud

( A minify JS and CSS option can be found in WP automatic optimization plugins. )

You should flush the cache memory from all three places in the presented order.
Usually, there are buttons for that:

WHAT AFTER?

After that, log out from your website and visit the page that counts.
That visit should be recorded and you should see it in the plugin dashboard widget. To see it, you should log in again to your WP website backend and visit the menu option called Dashboard. Search for the widget like seen in the screenshot tab.
