MWR Hit Counter

MWR Hit Counter is a simple and lightweight text-based counter for your website.
It uses a single database table and a cookie to count unique visitors over 30 days.
No IP tracking, no bloated features — just a clean counter you can display anywhere.

1. Upload the plugin files to the /wp-content/plugins/mwr-hit-counter directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly.
2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress.
3. Add the shortcode where you want the counter to appear.

Examples

Template code (in PHP):

<?php echo do_shortcode( '[mwrcounter start=500]' ); ?>
