Displaying Number of views?

[mneylon]

Anyone know how you can display the number of views that a post got in Wordpress? ie. as part of the template

FireStats is a Wordpress plugin which snaps right in and works right away. No template modding etc.

Nice, but can it display the number of views beside each post?

Ah, Richard (RedCardinal) has that doesn't he.

Yes and it looks really well

And I believe he uses the most wanted plugin fon his sidebar.

MostWanted - a Popular Posts Plugin for WordPress - boakes.org

I actually had to login to figure out what I was doing

WP-PostViews // GaMerZ.HomePage.Version.2.0; It Is Not Just About Design;

But I've modded up the plugin to do a few things I wanted. Problms arise when you do caching of your pages - the plugin relies on DB calls.

I'm going to mod it up some more when I get a chance so that I can actually track cached views also.

Thanks for that link. Was looking for something like that for awhile now.
