Setting Counters Produces Erroneous Counts

After experimentation, I found that on ONE of my websites, whenever I use the dashboard to pre-set the page counts, it actually sets the number to exactly 44 times what I type in.

Totally bizarre, I know. If I put “1” in the Visitor/PageView boxes, they show up as “44” when the admin page refreshes after saving, and the shortcode produces that same thing on the display. If I put in “1234” and save, I get “54296”. Each refresh of the displayed page properly increments by 1 pageview.

I have another website where this is NOT the case; consequently, there appears to be some sort of collision with other plugins, but I am using the same theme and many of the same plugins on both sites.

The workaround that I am using is to divide the number I want to set by 44 and use that as the starting point.
