### About this Plugin

WP-PostViews counts how many times each post, page or custom post type has been read and gives you somewhere to show the number. The count is kept as post meta, so it sorts, queries and exports like anything else WordPress stores about a post.

### Static WordPress Challenge

Displayed counts and templates will export correctly, but counts will not increment on a static-only deployment. Use Static Studio or another live/proxied endpoint for frontend tracking; alternatively accept frozen counts or disable visitor counting.
