Strange number of views for Draft post

    I am using the following code inside my posts to display the total number of visits:

    <?php echo number_format(wp_statistics_pages(total,wp_statistics_get_uri(),wp_statistics_uri_to_id(wp_statistics_get_uri())));?>

    If there is a simpler version of the function, please do let me know.

    The problem that I am facing is that when I am making a post in Draft mode and I preview the post, the number of views displayed is 1,257 views, which does not change every-time I preview the post. this sounds for me like a normal behavior due to not having the post published yet. However, after I publish the post and I view the post, it still shows 1,257 views. I would have to refresh the post so that I get 1 view. Please let me know if this is how the function is designed to work.

    Many thanks.

    No, the above is completely incorrect, try this:

    <?php echo number_format( wp_statistics_pages( 'total' ) ); ?>

    If your inside the content of a post you could also use the shortcode instead:

    [wpstatistics stat=pagevisits time=total]
