Note that it will not work in Plus UI older versions. Make sure you get the lastest template update.
Requirements

Enabling Views Count
Step 1: First of all create a project in Firebase.
Step 2: Create Database for your Project.
Step 3: Paste the following rules:
For Single Blog:
{
"rules": {
".read": true,
"BlogID_0000000000000000000": {
".read": true,
"$post_id": {
".write": "newData.exists() && (data.exists() ? newData.val() == data.val() + 1 : newData.val() == 1)",
".validate": "newData.isNumber() && newData.val() % 1 === 0.0 && newData.val() <= 99999999"
}
}
}
}
For Multiple Blogs:
{
"rules": {
".read": true,
"BlogID_0000000000000000000": {
".read": true,
"$post_id": {
".write": "newData.exists() && (data.exists() ? newData.val() == data.val() + 1 : newData.val() == 1)",
".validate": "newData.isNumber() && newData.val() % 1 === 0.0 && newData.val() <= 99999999"
}
},
"BlogID_0000000000000000000": {
".read": true,
"$post_id": {
".write": "newData.exists() && (data.exists() ? newData.val() == data.val() + 1 : newData.val() == 1)",
".validate": "newData.isNumber() && newData.val() % 1 === 0.0 && newData.val() <= 99999999"
}
},
"BlogID_0000000000000000000": {
".read": true,
"$post_id": {
".write": "newData.exists() && (data.exists() ? newData.val() == data.val() + 1 : newData.val() == 1)",
".validate": "newData.isNumber() && newData.val() % 1 === 0.0 && newData.val() <= 99999999"
}
}
}
}
Don't forget to replace the marked parts with your Blogs' ID.
Step 4: Copy the Database URL.
Step 5: Go to Theme HTML Editor.
Step 6: Find the following codes:
realViews: {
databaseUrl: "",
abbreviation: "false"
}
Step 7: Paste your Database URL, it will look something like following:
realViews: {
databaseUrl: "https://example-rtdb.firebaseio.com",
abbreviation: "false"
}
Step 2: Replace false with true as shown below:
Don't make any changes if it is already true.
realViews: {
databaseUrl: "",
abbreviation: "true"
}
Step 3: Save Changes and refresh your Blog Page.
