This feature was available for “inbox” messages but it doesn’t seem to be there for regular topics: there’s a counter for the number of views for the 1st post. What about a counter for the each post, or at least the last post? This way we would know how many folks are up to date with the latest. Is that an existing feature, or maybe a plugin?

This has come up before. I think this is what you’re looking for? [image] Post Views Counter Theme component Just want to mention here that I have updated the code so that it can work with Discourse new plugin API (details here). I think this component has been broken for a while laughing but now it works as of Feb 2026. The i18n is not working btw. https://github.com/freemdict/discourse-post-views-counter-theme [image]

I’m confused by this solution. The linked github repo describes things a whole theme in itself, not a component/plugin I can add to my theme.

The repo linked is a Theme Component: [image] GitHub - freemdict/discourse-post-views-counter-theme Contribute to freemdict/discourse-post-views-counter-theme development by creating an account on GitHub. The file structure and presence of the about.json file makes it so. You can install it like a normal component in the Admin panel, and add it to your theme.
