Doesn’t count properly

Hello @eragonsoftware,

That’s really weird behavior. A few questions that could help us assert what’s going on:

• Are there any errors in your PHP error log?
• Does your WP Cron run regularly? Ie if you install a plugin like WP Crontrol, is there some other task blocking the queue or do look things as expected?
• Can you share the contents of the optimized endpoint file /koko-analytics-collect.php?
• Does your wp-content/uploads directory contain a writable koko-analytics directory? Is there anything in that directory?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Danny, thank you for your reply

No errors are present, even if I turn debugging on.
Cron works allright, sometimes Litespeed cron fails to execute, but it executes later (as in … same day, but with a delay)

There is an events_buffer.php file in the uploads/koko_analyitics folder, however, it seems strange that its content is exit() right after the php startline, but after the ?> closing php bracker, there are some serialised data lines
like
a:6:{i:0;s:1:”p”;i:1;i:1739027226;i:2;i:38004;i:3;i:0;i:4;i:1;i:5;s:22:”https://m.facebook.com/”;}
Is that how it’s supposed to be ?

I’ve replaced the real path below, for safety reasons, with 3 dots

<?php
/**

• @package koko-analytics
• @license GPL-3.0+
• @author Danny van Kooten
  *
• This file acts as an optimized endpoint file for the Koko Analytics plugin.
  */

// path to pageviews.php file in uploads directory
define(‘KOKO_ANALYTICS_BUFFER_FILE’, ‘/…/public_html/wp-content/uploads/pageviews.php’);

// path to functions.php file in Koko Analytics plugin directory
require ‘/…/public_html/wp-content/plugins/koko-analytics/src/collect-functions.php’;

// function call to collect the request data
KokoAnalytics\collect_request();

Hi @eragonsoftware,

Thanks for the quick response!

The <?php exit; ?> on the first line is there on purpose to prevent others from accessing the contents of that file over the web.

The delayed cron execution shouldn’t be a problem, especially if it still runs on the same day but as of a few versions ago it doesn’t matter if it runs a few days late either.

Digging into this I did find a slight issue with the optimized endpoint file, but it shouldn’t be causing any issues. In theory, at least. Can you please try removing the koko-analytics-collect.php file to verify? The plugin should then automatically switch to using the AJAX endpoint for gathering its data.

Is counting correct using the AJAX endpoint?

Allright, I removed the file and will keep monitoring and comparing server no. of visits with what koko is reporting. I will get back to you within 24 hours, if it’s not a bother, don’t close the topic.. let’s keep this as an open issue, and I’ll post feedback.

Thank you for your assistance

Thanks @eragonsoftware – please do keep me posted.

Hi Danny, just a feedback. It seems removing the endpoint file has solved this issue, so thank you for suggesting that.

I have a feedback with regard to the counting of the pages, for instance…it’s 12:30 am (00:30) in my location and the stats say something like:
Your site had 68 pageviews today, of which 182 were in the last hours.

You see the logical error here ??

Thank you for all your support, and this great plugin.
I will close this issue as solved.

Awesome @eragonsoftware, thank you for getting back! Will fix that logical error too.

Best,
Danny
