 * shortcodes don’t accept parameters like that and requires echo:
 * `echo do_shortcode("[post-views]");`
 * or you can use a function
 * `pvc_post_views();`
 * optionally with post id parameter
 * `pvc_post_views( $post->ID );`

 * I must insert the shortcode here:
 * `postExcerptHTML .= '</div><div class="subhome">' . get_field('sub_title', $post-
   >ID ) . '</div><div class="subhomebold">' . get_field('subtitle_bold', $post-
   >ID ) . '</div><div style="display:block;">' . <strong>do_shortcode('[post-views]',
   $post>ID)</strong> . '</div>'`
 * And doesn’t work with:
 * `pvc_post_views();`
 * or
 * `pvc_post_views( $post->ID )`
 * And I have **w3 total cache.** Is maybe this problem?

 * errata corrige:
 * postExcerptHTML .= ‘</div><div class=”subhome”>’ . get_field(‘sub_title’, $post-
   >ID ) . ‘</div><div class=”subhomebold”>’ . get_field(‘subtitle_bold’, $post-
   >ID ) . ‘</div><div style=”display:block;”>’ . do_shortcode(‘[post-views]’, $
   post>ID) . ‘</div>’

 * I enter the code in the red rectangle but the number of visits shows all over
   and not individually. Why?
 * Example:

 * there are issues with your code syntax:
 * please just try to use plain function as explained above and check the result.
