WordPress.com Wrong stats on an External WordPress Installation

  • Hi, I wrote this topic: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/external-blog-having-wrong-wordpresscom-stats?replies=3 and the moderator said I should write in Support.

    The thing is my WordPress.stats worked great but since one day they stoped displaying good results.

    We can see that comparing them to other stats engines like google analytics or awstats from my Hosting.

    Or we can even see the problem by seeing the referals (that I can see are dispolaying right) and comparing them to the actually results that show in the Top Posts and Pages.

    You can see a picture here: https://i36.tinypic.com/1ig5u8.jpg

    As you can see in the picture, the first referral refers to a post I’ve made about 20 Windows XP Visual Styles, but the ONLY post in the top posts and pages with hits that have amore then a dozen hits is Website Background Patterns. This is clearly wrong.

    So, how can I fix this? I think I can’t. I’ve disable any cache plugins, I didn’t install any new plugin when this happened, it just started giving me wrong stats.

    Thank you.

    I wrote this to WordPress.com Support… when I entered my Website it said they didn’t give support to blogs outside wordpress.com…. :/

    So my problem still persists and I think I will have to disable WordPress.com stats.

    It’s the same problem this user is facing:: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/197959?replies=4#post-881650

    Sorry to bring this up, but I would really like some help on how to fix this problem.

    I’ve had the same problem with WP Stats. There doesn’t seem to be a way to fix it. As to it messing up your popular posts, what plugin do you use? I use a modified version of popularity contest and have never had a problem with it.

    I’m also having a similar problem. When I look at my stats it’s showing high views for a post I posted weeks ago. When I look at my Google Analytics stats there’s no traffic for that particular post. However, it has a similar value as my latest post. It seems the pageviews are being recorded for a different post than what users are actually viewing.

    @stahl. I use WordPress.com Popular Posts. They used to work great… but now they are all messed up. I think I will stop using them and manually assign my most popular posts… ??

    Hey, I’m having the exact same problem. I don’t have the Popular Posts plugin, just the WP Stats one. It’s showing high hits on posts I know for a fact are not getting that many hits.

    I actually have the reverse situation. Google Analytics shows no visits to a site yesterday when WP Stats shows 38 views. I know at least 15 views were there because I had posted a poll and people took the poll.

    so… still no help for this one?

    my problem is wp stats records 20-60% of the hits on various pages that my server stats record.

    my server stats have raw access logs so i can see real hits. the interface is clunky so i like wp stats, but it lowballs my posts so much that the data is irrelevant.

    it all just seems buggy.

    hmmm so im not the only guy whos facing the same issue… i think support should respond as soon as possible.
