Site Stats Not Showing….

    I’ve just returned back to my blog and immediately made blog post and the past 24 hours I’ve had emails saying that people either like my blog or that people have started following me. Now still being a newbie to the blogging world I like to check my site stats and I tried checking them but it was coming up with the message, “No stats are available for this time period.” This message has been appearing for the past 24 hours, does anyone know how to fix it or if I can even fix it at all?

    HELP PLEASE!! :(

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

    People can follow/like posts from ‘the reader’, without visiting the site (and yes, actually without even reading the posts).

    Exactly what do you think is incorrect? Our stats are not real time stats. For details see here http://en.support.wordpress.com/stats/ and note the views and viewers take hours to update.

    Also note that those who follow your blog in the Reader or by email don’t have to click into the blog unless they wish to.

    Likes and shares and reblogs and follows and comments are not page views. They are completely misleading when you are talking about page view stats. Your followers and anyone with a WordPress.com blog who is logged into WordPress.com can “follow” your blog, “like”, “share”, “reblog” and comment on your posts in several locations such as the Reader, without ever clicking into your blog and creating a single page view stat.

    Visitors using a mobile can read the full post without creating a page view stat. https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/wordpresscom-reader-show-full-text?replies=31#post-1373606

    You can control the length of the entry sent out on your RSS feed here > Settings > Reading. Choose the “summary” setting for your RSS feed rather than to “full text”. That will compel followers who are not using mobiles to click into the blog to read the full post which will create a page view stat.

    It’s okay now, it’s fixed itself I think. I just thought it was odd how it was taking longer than 24 hours to update, I thought there was either something wrong with my blog account or there was a bug on the website etc. but its showing up with fugures now so theres no worries.

    Thank you to those who commented to help me out. Very kind and very helpful, I will not hesitate to use the support forums again in the future if need be.

    Many Thanks
    Stacey
