 * Hello, i like your plugin, but I need to set a initial starting number like 1935712
   views.
    This value is derived from the previous counterstat, so my customer would
   start the new counter from this value. Could you help me how I can set your plugin
   to start from 1935712 views and count from this value? Thanks a lot
 * note: sorry for my bad english

 * Buongiorno Andrea, per caso ha risolto in qualche modo? Servirebbe anche a me
   una soluzione.
    Grazie per la gentile risposta!

 * Sorry for not answering this before.
 * Please check on each post / page you will see the Page View Counter in the right
   sidebar of the editor. There you can set the Total Count for that post or page.
 * [See screenshot here](https://i.gyazo.com/463956047e78f190d2e1026c89d71e2f.png)
   of what that looks like.
 * Thank you

 * Thanks [@a3rev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/a3rev/) first of all congratulations
   on your plugin, it has a clean and elegant code.
    I have already seen the functionality
   on the single post but I was wondering how to increase the count of all the posts
   already published in one go. Switching to your plugin I have lost all 18-year
   visits on MenteDigitale.org and would like to recover them, but I have thousands
   of posts already online. Sorry for my bad English, I use Google Translate.

 * Yes there is no way to bulk update the post counts. This is something we will
   look at – initially my thinking would be to write a simple Export / Import script
   for export the Post ID, Post Name and total views in a CSV.
 * The totals could be updated on the sheets and then Imported.
 * We would need to include option to select type / taxonomies to export /import–
   eg
    * Posts * Post Categories * Post Tags * Pages Plus any Custom post and taxonomies–
   for example WooCommerce Products, Product Categories and Tags
 * Would that work for you?
 * Your Google English translate is very good.
 * Thank you

 * Steve, your idea to create an Export/Import script to update the post counts 
   is really essential. Hope to see that function soon in an update to your plugin.

   with some SQL query?
