The post view will update in real-time. In case your site using a cache, you need to enable the AJAX post view by going to Appearance → Customize → Single Post → General: check Enable ajax Post View Count.
Have you installed any cache plugins on your site? Just click click the plugin name of the dashboard settings, then click the Purge All/Delete cache/ ...
Soledad is fully compatible with the Elementor. But when you edit your POST the Elementor, this plugin has changed the post template so the default post view functions have been removed.
This is a reason why I've added this to the Code Snippet plugin.
The Code Snippet is an extra plugin, helps you add custom PHP code without editing directly to the theme file. You can read more here: https://wordpress.org/plugins/code-snippets/
If you do not add the extra code, the post view only works with the standard post template, not working with the Elementor Template because this plugin (Elementor) has removed the post view functions.
One more question regarding the post views. Since this plugin is working i see that few minutes (maybe seconds) after the post is online, views are around 15 or 20 in one go.
What does that means? I don´t think i have "followers" so intence on the website :)
Just a quick question regarding the post views.
With how many frequency the counter is updated ? Every hour, everyday?
Because i don´t see many changes 2 or 3 views no more, on post that i know have been viewed much more time

Hi,
You must make you enable:
- Customize → Single Post → General: check Enable ajax Post View Count.
- Customize → Customize → Single Post → General: check Show Views Count.
Then clear all site cache & check again.

Sorry to ask again. But How do you clean the entire site cache ?

Hi,
In case your site doesn't install any cache plugin, please ignore the Clear cache step.

Ok but if i ignore the clear cache it will not apply the changes i´ve done to solve the number views?
Hi,
No. If you've not installed the cache plugin, this is not a problem.

Hi,
I've config the Post view on your site by adding some extra script into the Code Snippet plugin.
Please check.

Ok. I will have a look. This is in:
Ok i just saw that there is now a new plugin installed.
Just pure curiosity, why it doesn´t work without this plugin?
Hi,
The problem because you've built your post content with the Elementor plugin, so the post view functions can't work correctly.
Regards,
PenciDesign.
What should i use ?
Note: it´s not a big deal, but you mention that your theme is compatible with elementor ;)

Hi,
The post view also increases when the Search Engine bot crawls your site.

PenciDesign.
Hi.
And if i want to exclude the search engine bot ?
Hi,
The current version of Soledad doesn't have a post view filter for search engines. We'll consider adding this to the future theme update.

PenciDesign.
Ok.
Thanks for the feedback.
