Posts & Pages or Clicks ?

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hi, I’m quite new on wordpress and there is still some stats I don’t understand very well. Last week, I added a picture gallery on the side bar of my blog. For a few days, when people click on pictures from this gallery, the name of the picture appears in my Posts & Pages stats, as if it was a post. Is that normal ? Shouldn’t it go in the Clicks stats ? It also counts one view per picture seen. Is that normal too ?
    I also have problem with the number of views vs visitors (two days ago I had one “like” but no visitor or view at all). I saw on other forum that it’s should be fixed now. Is it the same issue as the one with my picture gallery stats ? Thanks for your help.

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Hi there! We have a lot of information about how our stats are counted on this support page:

    Jetpack Stats

    Particularly this section on Views and Visitors should be helpful:

    Jetpack Stats

    Since the images you’ve uploaded are images that are on your site, they will appear as other pages on your site that people have visited.

    Your images link to their own attachment pages instead of off-site pages or their media pages:

    I grabbed this link from one of the ‘Posts & Pages’ listed in your stats. Every media item uploaded gets an attachment page, you don’t have to link to it though. You could instead link to the media file or to nothing:
