3. If needed, configure Plugin Settings and the Widget
4. (optional) Place these tags in your template:

• single.php or page.php in the Loop

  <?php ST4_single_hits(); ?> 

• index.php (and / or archive.php etc…), in the Loop

  <?php ST4_hits(); ?> 

• sidebar.php (only if you don’t use Widgets)

  // last 5 posts in last 30 days, show the hits, show image preview
  ST4_mostread(30, 5, ‘yes’, ‘yes’);
  // show 10 posts from all published posts, show hits, don’t show preview
  ST4_mostread(0, 10, ‘yes’, ‘no’);
  // show 3 pages from all published pages, show hits, don’t show preview
