No, it will not. The plugin only counts post views for the selected post types that you enable in the admin area. This helps reduce database/server load. In the free version, only ‘post’ is available. In the PRO version, you can enable multiple post types.
-
Will it count the post view on every single visit of the user?
-
Yes, but the plugin includes settings in the admin area to control and limit view counting behavior.
-
Will it work for custom post types too?
-
In the free version, only the default ‘post’ type is supported. The PRO version supports custom post types.
