--- single/pages files :

 Add this as a class (Not in loop) (Gives the ID to read)
	<?php the_ID(); ?>

  Add this after "the_post();" (It counts the IDs)
	echo arixWp_PostViews( get_the_ID(), 'count' );

 Add this out of the loop. . . (It shows the post count)
	echo arixWp_PostViews( get_the_ID(), 'display' );

--- category and other loops
 Add this to display the count after "the_post();"
	 echo arixWp_PostViews( $post->ID, 'display' );



That should be it. . . Test and retest
