wp_popularpostsdata missing post ids

Hi Sofia,

Have you read this yet? If so and if you think that’s not the issue and that the plugin isn’t really tracking your visits correctly, then please share your site’s URL so I can have a look.

Thank you very much, now… I have read

point #1 #2 , yes, I’m sure from google analytics I had visits but not post views count from plugin. I add they manually from old post views count

point #3 yes the theme had wp_head()

point #4 How Can I “to allow WPP access to the REST API” from which plugin or setting?

point #5 From phpmyadmin I can modify tables… so I think I have the access

Moreover.. I have a plugin for Cache: WP Super Cache, I had delete the cache but nothing…

Ah, this is my site. I have the problem with all my post. Where there is the post views count, I added it from phpmyadmin.

I do not know if I’m doing something wrong

From what you’ve said so far, there doesn’t seem to be a problem.

You see, the plugin can only display data from posts it started tracking since the moment you installed it. Views data from before that isn’t available, so of course older posts that haven’t been visited by anyone yet won’t have any views data stored in the database.

I did notice, however, that you have Data Sampling enabled on your site. How many visitors do you get per day in average?

How Can I “to allow WPP access to the REST API” from which plugin or setting?

If you’re not using a security/firewall plugin then you’re likely OK and you won’t need to do anything regarding this.

Yes, but from google analytics I see that I have 100-200 visitors on a single article for example, but post views of this post (like others) are stucks since days :/ there are only my post views added from me today, and 3-4 days ago

google analytics: 91 views only today on it. But the views are stucks

(…) but post views of this post (like others) are stucks since days :/

This does sound like an issue. How often does WP Super Cache regenerate its cache?

And please answer my previous question:

How many visitors do you get per day in average?

I did notice, however, that you have Data Sampling enabled on your site. How many visitors do you get per day in average?

About 300 visitors

Thanks Sofia.

If your site is getting around 300 visitors per day, then you don’t really need to use Data Sampling. Once your traffic grows (eg. 150.000 visitors per day) then you’ll want to enable it.

For the time being, please:

1. disable Data Sampling, and
2. clear WP Super Cache’s cache so changes take effect immediately.

This should have WPP start registering your views count more accurately from now on.

Ok, really useful as an explanation!

Done.

This also explains why some post ids there aren’t in the table wp_popularpostsdata ?

Oh well now it is work! ??

Thank you very much. I remember this for the future, when the traffic will grow!

Partially, yes.

When Data Sampling is active WPP only records a subset of the traffic. So, there might be instances where a page was visited and tracked by Google Analytics but WPP ignored that specific visit because Data Sampling was active. Here’s a slightly longer and more detailed explanation, in case you’re curious: How does Data Sampling work?

The other reason why a post doesn’t have any records on WPP’s database tables is as I explained earlier.

Anyways, I’m glad to know things are back on track ?? If you have any other questions don’t hesitate to ask, ok?

Yes, thank yo very much, very useful ^_^
