Integrate WP-PostViews with Kadence Pro Using Shortcode for Enhanced Entry Meta Display on Category Archive Pages

To enhance the display of post views on your category archive pages using Kadence Pro, you can integrate the WP-PostViews plugin by hooking it into the kadence_after_loop_entry_meta
element. This integration involves using a shortcode to align the post views with the entry meta date, providing a seamless and informative experience for your site visitors.
By following these steps, you’ll ensure that the post view count is prominently displayed alongside other key meta information on category archive pages, giving your audience valuable insights into the popularity of your content.
