What to do
- Update to the latest version (2.0.5). Anything older than 2.0.3 has at least one known issue listed below. Dashboard → Updates, or Plugins → “update now”.
- If you cannot update right away, deactivate it until you can.
- Turn on auto-updates for it: Plugins → “Enable auto-updates” on its row.
- If you ran a vulnerable version and something looks off (spam pages, strange admins, redirects), run the free scan.
With WP-CLI: wp plugin get page-visits-counter-lite --field=version shows what you run; wp plugin update page-visits-counter-lite updates it.
