Log ONLY logged-in users (except admins)

Hello,

We followed the code on this post and we now get all visitors logged including bots.

How could we alter the code so as to have pages/posts viewed ONLY by logged-in users leaving out admins bots as well as complete strangers?

Thank you in advance for your great work

We figured it out and posting it here in case anyone else needs the code.

// Simple History: Log page/post views ONLY by non-admin users
add_action('wp_footer', function() {
    // Do not log non logged users (visitors or bots) or admins
    if (!is_user_logged_in() || current_user_can('edit_users')) {
        return;
    }

    // Log both page and post views as well
    // is_singular https://developer.ww.wp.xz.cn/reference/functions/is_singular/
    if (is_singular()) {
        apply_filters('simple_history_log_info', 'A user viewed the page/post "{page_title}"', [
            'page_title' => get_the_title()
        ]);
    }
});

Enjoy
