Valine and Waline configuration issue

[zhaoyiluo]

Describe the bug

I tested the Valine and Waline plugins separately to see if the visit statistics worked well. On my side, it only showed the eye symbol and didn't have the number, not even with 0. Everything goes well when I tested on Twikoo.

Expected behavior

Show the visit number.

Other

For the comment plugins, can we only enable the visit statistics and disable the comment part at the end of each post?

Hi

You cannot just copy the appId and appKey from exampleSite. I have set up secure domains for these keys so Valine definitely will not work on your website with this configuration. Follow the instructions on Valine Docs to setup your own App.

The visit statistics are recorded and provided by the comment plugin. So if you disable the comment, the statistics is disabled as well. The only thing you can do is to use some CSS style to hide the comment. You can edit your_site/assets/css/_override.scss and build your site with extended Hugo to achieve that. This will provide no performance improvement and I don't plan to add an option for it.

I know that there are some service providers offering only page view count statistics. I can probably add support for some of them if this is a wide need from community.
