  I have noticed that on recently created pages a view counter is visible, older pages do nnot have it. How do I disable it? I already looked at the Jetpack icon section, I do not seem to have a view counter setting there.

  WP.com: Yes
  Jetpack: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to moderators and staff)

  Disabling the view counter on your recently created pages can be a bit tricky, especially if the option isn’t available in your Jetpack settings. Since you’re using both WP.com and Jetpack, and have confirmed you’re on the correct account, the issue might be elsewhere. Sometimes, changes in themes or additional plugins can cause such features to appear unexpectedly.

  To resolve this, you can try these steps:

  1. Check Theme Settings: Some themes have built-in features for displaying view counters. Go to your theme customization settings and look for any options related to post views or counters.
  2. Inspect Plugins: Besides Jetpack, other plugins might be adding the view counter. Deactivate your plugins one by one and check if the view counter disappears.
  3. Custom CSS: If you can’t find an option to disable it, you can hide the view counter using custom CSS. Add the following code to your site’s Additional CSS section:
     css .post-views { display: none; }

  If you still face issues, you might want to reach out to the support forums or check out resources that can offer a more in-depth solution. For instance, understanding concepts such as can sometimes provide a mental framework for tackling these types of technical challenges by breaking down the problem into manageable parts. This approach can be very effective when dealing with multiple settings and configurations.
