Stats not being shown
-
The stats do not seem to be recorded for one of my blogs. I am having “likes” but not seeing any stats for people reading the posts. It seems to be working for one of my blogs but not the other … ??
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

We don’t have a clue which blog you refer to and cannot help because we operate only from blog addresses ie. URLs starting with http:// Please provide the URL for the exact blog in question in the form of an active link starting with http:// when you need help with any blog.
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. Provided you are logged in when visiting, your own views are not recorded on any public blog you registered.
Our stats are page view stats. Please do not assume that everyone who clicks a like button actually reads the post on your blog because odds are they may not.
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. And, they can even comment without clicking into the blog either.
Likes and shares and comments and reblogs and follows are not page views. In fact, likes, shares, comments and reblogs are completely misleading when you are talking about page view stats.
Your followers and anyone with a WordPress.com/Gravatar account who is logged into WordPress.com can “follow” your blog, “like”, “share” and “reblog” your posts in several locations such as the Reader, without ever clicking into your blog and creating a single page view stat.
Logged in 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 Dashboard > 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.

When I click “view enhanced stats” from my dashboard I am directed to wordpress.com. All my other websites are listed except for the one I want the enhanced stats for. Why isn’t it shown in drop down menu? Stats are showing up clearly from within my live sites dashboard.
