Question about the hit counter

Is there a way to prevent the hit counter from registering hits from my computer?

I thought of an IP ban but that would not be correct.

You could wrap the contents of the /includes/counter.php file inside an IF statement such as this one:

Code:

if (!strstr(EXCLUDE_ADMIN_IP_FOR_MAINTENANCE, $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']) {
 
  ...

}

and then put your own IP address in the Down For Maintenance list of allowed IP Addresses.

Very clever, that should work. Gracias.
