Wix Blog: Hiding the View Counter on Your Posts

5 min read
With Wix Blog, you have the ability to add a view counter to your posts. This counter displays the number of readers for each of your blog entries, both in your blog feed and on individual posts. 

However, if you prefer a more minimalist look or simply want to keep your readership numbers private, you can easily hide this counter from your site's editor. This gives you more control over your blog's appearance and the information shared with your readers.
