 * Is it possible to manually adjust the number of views for a post? I’ve just installed
   Independent Analytics and I’d like to add views counted with another plugin to
   the Independent Analytics views.

 * Hi John,
 * Thanks for using Independent Analytics!
 * We don’t have a way to do this yet, but I can see how this would be helpful for
   showing off your stats. What if we added a way to manually adjust views in the
   shortcode?
 * For instance, if the post had 500 views already, you could use a shortcode like
   this to make that adjustment:
 * `[iawp_view_counter add="500" label="Views:" icon="1"]`
 * It would take the views recorded by Independent Analytics and simply add another
   500.

 * Thanks, that would work on individual posts, but I do like your dashboard. Sounds
   like the only way is to refresh the page hundreds of times!

 * Plus, do you have an ‘all time’ view on the dashboard, or is it a year max?

 * Haha okay I’ll see if we can come up with a better way to merge previous data
   from other sources. 
   There isn’t a way to select All Time, but that’s a great
   idea. We will add that in an upcoming update. The way to access that data for
   now will be to manually select the date range.
