Stats on virtual pages

    Hi folks,

    in my blog, I create some virtual pages from data from a custom database table. Therefore I use filters like rewrite_rules_array, query_vars and template_include. The created virtual page has no post_id or post metadata but of course an url.

    Now I noticed that google analytics is counting these virtual pages by their urls. But the jetpack statistic is not showing these pages.

    Is there a way to check if the stat counting script is placed on the virtual page? How do I place the counting script manually on these virtual pages?

    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Jetpack Mechanic ??

    I’m afraid that won’t be possible. Jetpack Stats rely on post IDs to store its stats. If a page doesn’t have a post ID, it can’t be tracked by Jetpack.

    Is there a way to check if the stat counting script is placed on the virtual page?

    The script is hooked into wp_footer(), and will consequently appear at the bottom of your source code, right before the closing </body> tag, when you’re logged out of your WordPress account. Here is how it looks on your site, for example:
    https://i.wpne.ws/jOyB

    As you can see, the script includes a post parameter that matches the current post ID. It’s set to 0 on the home page.

    How do I place the counting script manually on these virtual pages?

    If wp_footer() is added to the page, the stats tracking code will be added. However, since no post ID exists, the post ID is most likely set to 0, the default fallback:
    https://github.com/Automattic/jetpack/blob/4.6/modules/stats.php#L140-L165

    I hope this helps.
