You can use some plugin like this one: or call this widget via shortcode:

When you put this code in your function.php simply use this shortcode:

[widget widget_name="wHitCounter"]

and your Hit Counter should appear… ??

Ok,

Usually I don’t like to modifying a plugin directly because when you update the plugin you have to be careful or you’ll overwrite your code, however I do feel this is an enhancement to the plugin and I have a custom set of digits anyway – so I don’t really think it matters at this point. If you’d like to add shortcode functionality to the plugin, the process is very simple:

• Navigate to your plugins folder > wordpress-hit-counter
• Open image.php and add the following function right before the ?> close: https://pastebin.com/79BSjikg
• Save your file

*If you’d like to add it to a page just use the shortcode: [wHitCounter]

*If you’d like to add it to your template, wherever you’d like to see the counter use the following code: <?php echo do_shortcode("[wHitCounter]"); ?>

Simple as that! Hope it helps ??
