Enabling Views Count
Step 1: First of all create a project in Firebase.
Step 2: Create Database for your Project.
Step 3: Paste the following rules:
For Single Blog:
{
"rules": {
".read": true,
"BlogID_0000000000000000000": {
".read": true,
"$post_id": {
".write": "newData.exists() && (data.exists() ? newData.val() == data.val() + 1 : newData.val() == 1)",
".validate": "newData.isNumber() && newData.val() % 1 === 0.0 && newData.val() <= 99999999"
}
}
}
}For Multiple Blogs:
{
"rules": {
".read": true,
"BlogID_0000000000000000000": {
".read": true,
"$post_id": {
".write": "newData.exists() && (data.exists() ? newData.val() == data.val() + 1 : newData.val() == 1)",
".validate": "newData.isNumber() && newData.val() % 1 === 0.0 && newData.val() <= 99999999"
}
},
"BlogID_0000000000000000000": {
".read": true,
"$post_id": {
".write": "newData.exists() && (data.exists() ? newData.val() == data.val() + 1 : newData.val() == 1)",
".validate": "newData.isNumber() && newData.val() % 1 === 0.0 && newData.val() <= 99999999"
}
},
"BlogID_0000000000000000000": {
".read": true,
"$post_id": {
".write": "newData.exists() && (data.exists() ? newData.val() == data.val() + 1 : newData.val() == 1)",
".validate": "newData.isNumber() && newData.val() % 1 === 0.0 && newData.val() <= 99999999"
}
}
}
}Don't forget to replace the marked parts with your Blogs' ID.
Step 4: Copy the Database URL.
Step 5: Go to Theme HTML Editor.
Step 6: Find the following codes:
realViews: {
databaseUrl: "",
abbreviation: "false"
}Step 7: Paste your Database URL, it will look something like following:
realViews: {
databaseUrl: "https://example-rtdb.firebaseio.com",
abbreviation: "false"
}Step 8: Save Changes and refresh your Blog Page.
Showing Abbreviated Views Count
If you would like to display the views counts in Abbreviated numbers, i.e. 67.89K instead of 67894, you just need to follow simple steps.
Step 1: Find the following codes by going to Theme HTML Editor:
realViews: {
databaseUrl: "",
abbreviation: "false"
}Step 2: Replace false with true as shown below:
Don't make any changes if it is already true.
realViews: {
databaseUrl: "",
abbreviation: "true"
}Step 3: Save Changes and refresh your Blog Page.
