# Exclude view count

 * After duplicating a post, the view count of the copied post is copied along. 
   The view count is a feature in my paid theme, not a plugin. How can I exclude
   the view count when duplicating a post?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fexclude-view-count%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi,
 * If you go to your WP admin dashboard > Settings (sidebar) > Duplicate Post > 
   What to copy tab > can you check the ‘post/page elements to copy’ section and
   see if the view count is showing up as an option and is currently ticked, and
   if you can untick it and save the changes?
 * Otherwise, you might have to check out the Duplicate Post filters and documentations
   to exclude certain fields such as the view count in order to make sure it doesn’t
   copy over — [https://developer.yoast.com/duplicate-post/filters-actions](https://developer.yoast.com/duplicate-post/filters-actions)
