 * I am sure this is simple but I am unable to find where to edit the post views
   count at within the Dashboard of WordPress. I was able to edit it manually within
   wp_postmeta but imagine there must be a quicker way.
 * I have tried editing a page/post directly within the Dashboard of WordPress but
   there is nothing there representing the view count. I tried reading other requests
   here regarding this and it seems like I am missing something obvious. Thanks 
   in advance.

 * You can edit it under the Edit Post page under the Custom Fields section. That
   is the WP default Custom Fields.

 * Lester, thanks for the reply. Even though I had read that in previous posts the
   issue was that I did not figure out to select Screen Option > Custom Fields in
   order to actually see the field. Once I did that my problems went away. Issue
   resolved.
