Knowing what content resonates with your audience is one of the most powerful assets for any content creator. How many people read your last post? Which tutorial was the most popular? Having a view counter on each article isn't just a vanity metric; it's a powerful strategic tool.

Fortunately, for those using the Wapkiz and Wapaxo platforms, enabling this feature is incredibly simple. In this guide, we'll walk you through the step-by-step process so you can start measuring the relevance of your posts today.

Why a View Counter Matters

Before we get into the technical part, let's understand the benefits:

  1. Understand Your Audience: The number of views clearly shows which topics generate the most interest. With this information, you can create more content that your audience truly wants to see.
  2. Social Proof: Posts with a high view count tend to attract even more readers. People are naturally more inclined to read something that has already been validated by many others.
  3. Motivation: Watching the numbers grow is a great incentive to continue producing quality content.

How to Activate the Counter on Wapkiz & Wapaxo: Step-by-Step

The secret lies in correctly configuring your post view page. On platforms like Wapkiz and Wapaxo, pages are often split into a configuration area (SET parameters) and the visible content area (the HTML).

The SET area is where' you insert commands that don't appear visually on the page but instruct the system on how it should function. This is where' we will activate the counter.

Step 1: Locate Your Post View Page

In your admin panel, go to the page manager (or theme editor) and open the file responsible for displaying an individual blog post.

Step 2: Activate Counting in the SET Area

At the very top of the page's code, you will find the SET parameters section. To activate the counter, simply add the following tag:

[blog]...v=on|| Blog Content [/blog]

This tag tells the system: "For this page, start counting each new unique visit."

Important: If you want to disable counting in the future, just change it to v=off or remove the tag entirely. Even if the "v" tag isn't present, the view count number might still be displayed, but it won't increase with new visits.

The general structure at the beginning of your code will look something like this:

[blog] v=on || ... your HTML code and blog tags starts here ... [/blog]

Step 3: Display the View Count on Your Page

Now that the system is counting the visits, you need a way to show this number to your readers (and to yourself!). To do this, use the special Wapkiz/Wapaxo tag in the location where' you want the number to appear.

The tag is: %*hits%

You can insert this tag anywhere' in the visible content area of your page. A good practice is to place it near the post title, date, or author's name.

Complete Practical Example

Let's put it all together. The code for your post view page could look like this:

[blog] to=:url-1:, v=on || <div class="post-header"> <h2>%title%</h2> <p class="post-meta"> Published on: %*date% | <b>Views: %*hits%</b> </p> </div> <div class="post-content"> %text% </div> [/blog]

Breaking down the example:

  • v=on is in the SET area, invisibly activating the counter.
  • %*hits% is placed next to "Views:", ensuring the total visit count is clearly displayed for everyone who accesses the post.

Conclusion

And that's it! With just two small additions, you've enabled a crucial tool for your blog's growth on Wapkiz and Wapaxo. From now on, you will have a clear insight into the performance of each article, allowing you to make smarter decisions about your content strategy.
