  Is anyone else having trouble with their stats not updating? For example, my stats show 1 view today, but I have 10 “likes,” so obviously more people have been to the blog post. http://badinkadink.wordpress.com/2013/12/03/travel-theme-sky/

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

  I should clarify, I found this explanation on the WordPress Stats page:

  Why is the number of views less than the number of likes?
  Readers may like your post without visiting your site, for example on the Reader. Since they didn’t actually visit your site, liking a post in this way does not count as a visit.

  This doesn’t explain it though, since many of these Likes are not followers of my blog.

  Be aware that our stats are not real time stats. For details see here http://en.support.wordpress.com/stats/ Note the views and viewers take hours to update.

  Also note that anyone with a WordPress.com/Gravatar account who is logged in can click the “like” button, share your posts on social networks and click the reblog button, without ever visiting your site.

  Ok, I’ll wait a little longer, but I still suspect a problem, since I see the same trend for the past few days. It’s highly unusual (never happened) to have 3 consecutive days of 1 view each.
