Counter Does Not Work

please check the count wait time on settings.
regards

Hi Andrew,

I don’t see anything for count wait time in the settings. Not sure what I’m missing here.

Under General I have: Default Counter Value, Set Counter to Default Value, Visitor-hit cooldown.

Under Cleanup I have: Cleanup intervall, Max age of the IP to remove, Defines a comma-separated list of Robots, which prevents a count.

Under Statistics I have: Page-hit cooldown

Please advise.

Thanks,
Brian

Hi Andrew,

I stepped through your code a bit and see the issue. I might be confused on how the plugin is supposed to work. I expected the Default Counter Value or the count set in the shortcode to be the starting count so the counter would show the Default Counter Value + the Actual Count.

In ads_wpsitecount.php line 151 I changed:

$user_count = $count;

to

$user_count = intval($count) + intval($wpdb->get_var("SELECT Count FROM $table_name where IP='0'"));

Now I am seeing the expected result.

Thanks,
Brian

Hi
I not understand what you doing with this changes… You have not understand what my counter makes ?…
The counter count the sites with the IP and only if the same ip hase the timeout reached.
On the FIRST TAB into Settings you can find the interval timeout 30 sec. to 24 hour (last param)
Into this timeout no counter count on same ip.

Otherwise the plugin is not compatible with your system. I used unix servers.

I have setup new wordpress with this counter an works perfect for me.

Hi Andrew,

Consider the following shortcode: [ads-wpsitecount count=8249]

This will always display a count of 8249. I expect it to display 8249 + Actual Visitor Count.

Thanks,
Brian

Hi
This is correct, on place holder.
[ads-wpsitecount count=8249] display output is 8249, thats right.

count=valule + actualcount is not supported at this time, sorry

Want you set the counter to 8249 then you can do that on settings at Tab ‘general’.
Fill in the counter value on top, then mark the checkbox (next field) to reset to this value! Without mark checkbox, counter will no set to the new value.

i hope it works now…

Hi Andrew,

I realize there is a bit of a language barrier here but I’ll try to make it clear.

“count=valule + actualcount is not supported at this time, sorry” <— This what I needed so I just modified it to work this way.

I have a feeling some of the others complaining about the counter not working are expecting it to work this way too, so it might be a good idea to add support for this. One option for STATIC COUNT and another for STARTING COUNT.

Thanks,
Brian

hi
this option is basically a garbage product since i needed it for display in help. It makes no sense to display any virtual number, since this is a statistic and I also do not understand why you have to add a number to a counter. no, you are currently the only one who has seen it that way and it is also the first such request.

thank you anyway for this information.
regards

I agree nobody should be using a virtual counter anymore but I have an old school client who insisted on it even though I gave them analytics. Their site has been around for 10-20 years so it wouldn’t make sense to add a counter starting at 1 when they’ve had thousands of visitors by now.

I thought maybe https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/counter-no-counting/ and others might be expecting it to work the way I do. Just my opinion but I think having a static number for a counter makes less sense.

Anyway thanks for this product and I’ll just modify for my needs no big deal.
