Visitor Counter Plugin – Track Unique Visitors by IP Address

The Visitor Counter Plugin for WordPress allows you to track unique visitors based on their IP addresses, providing more accurate visitor counts for your posts and pages. It features a shortcode that displays the visitor count with customizable inline styles for both the “Views:” label and the number itself. The plugin includes an admin panel where you can configure settings such as excluding admin visits from being counted. It’s ideal for anyone looking to monitor real visitor engagement while maintaining control over styling and functionality.

Explanation of the Changes

1. Inline Styles for “Views:” and Count:
   • The vc_display_view_count() function now includes two inline style variables: $label_style and $count_style.
   • These styles are applied to the “Views:” label and the count number respectively, using inline styles directly within the HTML output.
   Example styles:
   • "Views:" has blue text (#0000FF) and normal font weight.
   • The count number has orange text (#FF4500), bold font weight, and an 18px font size.
2. Example Output: When you use the shortcode, the HTML will look like this: Views: 120

html code:
Views: 
15

This allows you to customize the appearance of both elements independently via inline styles.

Usage

• Add the shortcode:
• The inline styles will automatically apply to the “Views:” label and the visitor count.

The shortcode:
[visitor_count]

If you need to customize the CSS you can ether edit the plugin files or use this to over write the CSS. Save this to your style.css

.vc-view-label {
    color: #0000FF; /* Blue text for "Views:" */
    font-weight: normal;
}

.vc-view-count {
    color: #FF4500; /* Orange text for the count */
    font-weight: bold;
}
