My WordPress website ([login to view URL]) posts is showing the view counter on each post, yet the figure never increases. The count simply refuses to update after a page load, even though traffic is coming in. I first spotted the problem on the pages where I dropped in some Claude-generated custom code, so I suspect a conflict or a hook firing at the wrong moment. Here’s what I need from you: • Trace why the current counter logic is frozen. It could be in [login to view URL], a custom plugin, or the Claude snippet itself—please investigate every likely hook (wp_head, wp_footer, AJAX handlers, REST endpoints, etc.). • Repair or rewrite the routine so views increment reliably on standard Posts. If a lightweight, well-maintained plugin serves better than the present solution, feel free to recommend and configure it. • Preserve existing styling and make sure the final count displays exactly where it does now. • Test on a staging copy first, then confirm live results with a few manual refreshes and an incognito session so we both see numbers climbing. You’ll have full admin and (if needed) FTP access. Deliver the fixed code, a quick change log, and a note on any plugin you add or remove. I’m happy to answer questions about the Claude snippet or provide sample URLs as soon as you’re on board. Post links : [login to view URL] [login to view URL]

I can inspect the existing snippet and its hooks on staging, check whether caching prevents the increment request, and repair the counter while keeping the display/styling in place. I will test normal and incognito visits, preserve existing counts and leave the fixed code with a short change log. ₹1,500 is my quote for this isolated counter issue, with a one-day turnaround once access and the current snippet are available. I would confirm counting rules first—should every refresh count, or only one visit per session?

A view counter that never increments almost always means the write is happening on a request that never reaches PHP. On a cached WordPress site the first visitor triggers the counter, everyone after that gets the cached HTML, and your code never runs. The count looks frozen while traffic is real. The other usual suspect: the increment fires on a hook that runs before the post is resolved, or it writes to post meta while an object cache serves a stale value back. So I would check, in this order: whether page caching or a CDN is in front of the post pages, which hook the custom code uses, and whether the value is read from cache after the write. Then move the increment to a small AJAX or REST call fired from the browser, which runs on every real view regardless of caching, and add a light guard so refreshes and bots do not inflate it. I work with WordPress and PHP regularly, and with Claude Code daily, so I am comfortable reading code generated that way. It usually works in isolation and breaks against the surrounding stack, which is exactly what this looks like. Send me admin access to a staging copy, or the snippet plus the plugin list, and I will confirm the cause before touching anything. Quick job: I would expect it fixed same day.

I can trace and repair this without changing the existing display or guessing at the cause. I will reproduce the failure on staging, inspect the Claude snippet, theme functions, plugins, post-meta writes, hooks and any page/object cache involved. If full-page caching prevents the PHP increment from running, I will move only the increment to a lightweight AJAX or REST request after page load, validate the post ID, limit it to standard Posts, and use an atomic update so simultaneous views are not lost. I will test normal, logged-in and incognito requests with caching enabled, preserve the current styling, and provide the changed files plus a short changelog. I will not add a plugin unless it is clearly safer than the current code. Please provide staging admin/SFTP access and the active snippet. One question: should repeated refreshes from the same visitor count, or should the counter deduplicate within a time window?
