For you who have WordPress premium account or you self host, the Flag counter plugin will be the right thing you need. You can get it here Flag counter.
Now let me get back to us.
If you can not install a plugin like me just because of your account restrictions, this time we have a way around this. The flag counter is a widget which shows the number of visitors from different countries or cities. I remember someone asked me about this, I am sorry to take this long to answer you.
Task: Adding a Flag Counter widget
- Go to the flag counter website (https://flagcounter.com)
- Fill the fields to customize your flag counter
- When you finish customizing click GET YOUR FLAG COUNTER
- You will have two HTML codes, one for website and one for forums, copy the code for website
- In your wordpress site got to customize then widgets
- Choose appropriate widgets whether it’s sidebar or footer then click add widget
- Select Text widget, write the title for your widget and then paste the code in text area
- Set the visibility to choose where and when your widget will be displayed
- Save and Publish
Now if you happen to see Margaret tell her to visit here and take her flag counter.
Thank you all!
Thanks for this. I wondered how to add it!

Yeah, most plugins are for the premium users only…
Btw, that Hong Kong flag view must have come from me 🙂

That is obvious, the first day you visited my site I saw it and you are the first one from Hong Kong 🙂
We can not install any plugin with free sites, the widgets are our only option

Same here in Tanzania and Africa in general with exception of South Africa maybe, sometimes it’s good as of now whenever I see your flag I know you are the one who visited. 🙂

If I go to China in the future, I’ll try to access your blog. So, if you sew a flag of China in your stats later, it might have come from me 🙂
