Views Not Counting Properly

Hi there!

Hard to tell without taking a look at your site ?? Please share your site’s URL.

Sorry about that, it is https://www.materialgear.com/

Thanks ??

Alright, just checked one of your articles and the plugin seems to be working OK. I did notice though that Data Sampling is active, which basically means that WPP won’t track all of your traffic but a subset of it only (see here for more). This explains why you don’t see the stats being updated as soon as anyone visits one of your posts / pages.

Hi, thanks for the speedy response yet again!

Would you mind looking at the screen grab of the settings I have set for the plugin and let me know what I have done wrong and suggest what I should change?

Don’t worry about it ??

The thing with Data Sampling is that it’s recommended for high traffic sites. If yours isn’t getting a huge amount of visitors per day yet, you can do either of the following:

• Set Sampling Rate to a lower value (eg. 2).
• Disable Data Sampling until you start getting a lot of visitors.

Thank you I have set it to 2 for now.

What happens if I disable it, does it still count visits?

Yep, it’ll count all visits actually.
