 * Hi,
   first of all thank you for this amazing plugin.In the settigs there is a 
   oiption to set “_Log views from_” everyone, or logged in or logged out visitors.
   I need a setting “exclude Admin and current post author”.Is there a way to achieve
   this? Maybe a filter? (I didn’t find anything on the github wiki)Kind regards,
 * Ole

 * Hi [@olpo24](https://wordpress.org/support/users/olpo24/),
 * For this you could use the [wpp_trackable_post_types](https://github.com/cabrerahector/wordpress-popular-posts/wiki/3.-Filters#wpp_trackable_post_types)
   filter hook to have WordPress Popular Posts track views only if the visitor is
   not logged in / not an admin / not the author of the current post/page. For example:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       /**
        * Don't track page views if user is an administrator
        * or if user is the author of the entry.
        *
        * @param  array $post_types
        * @return array
        */
       function maybe_do_not_track_views($post_types) {
       	if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
       		$post_id = get_queried_object_id();
       		$current_user = wp_get_current_user();
       		$author_id = get_post_field('post_author', $post_id);
       		$current_user_is_admin = current_user_can('manage_options');
   
       		if ( $current_user_is_admin || $current_user->ID == $author_id ) {
       			return array('do_not_track');
       		}
       	}
   
       	return $post_types;
       }
       add_filter('wpp_trackable_post_types', 'maybe_do_not_track_views', 10, 1);
       ```
