  A couple of things that I could not find in your online support. My followers widget is displaying 0 followers when I do have some followers. Second, why is my facebook share button showing that 6 viewers have shared my most recent post but when I go into the shares tab on the stats page it only shows one share for the same post. (I have gone onto the facebook pages of those that I know have shared the post and my post is not displayed on their facebook page.) I’m probably misunderstanding how this works…Thanks

  Hi Erick,

  My followers widget is displaying 0 followers when I do have some followers.

  A number of other people also reported this issue, and our team has fixed this up. If you continue to have trouble with it, please let me know.

  The shares tab on your stats page will show the number of times someone clicked the Facebook sharing button to share your post on Facebook. The number of shares on the Facebook button itself is reported by Facebook directly. If some people share your post on Facebook without clicking the sharing button on your post, we can’t track that on your stats page but it may still appear in the count you see on the button.

  We have a little note about that on your sharing stats page here: http://wordpress.com/my-stats/?blog_shares

  Please let me know if you have any questions about that. :)
