Website visit count in wordpress

We can track wordpress visit count using function.php. Just use the following function in function.php
<?php
function visit_count()
{
// just increment and display a counter at the bottom of each page
if(!isset($_SESSION['hit_count']))
{
$count=1+intval(get_option('site_visit_count'));
update_option('site_visit_count',$count);
}
$_SESSION['hit_count']=$count=get_option('site_visit_count');
$count=number_format($count);
echo << $count
HTML_CODE;
}
?>
Call function "visit_count()" in our site to display the total number of visitors in your site. Sometimes session is disabled in your wordpress site, then the code will not work perfectly. We need to enable session in wordpress. Check the following link to know how to enable session in wordpress.

Enable session in wordpress

Normally session will not work in wordpress and we need to enable session. We can enable it by initializing. Function for initializing session is
function init_sessions() {
if (!session_id()) {
session_start();
}
}
add_action('init', 'init_sessions');

Just copy the code and paste it in your function.php
