  Stats have suddenly stopped updating on our blog this morning, but no update or change has been made (aside from a new post).

  Any ideas of how to fix this issue?

  What makes you think your stats are not working?

  Looks like we’ve had plenty of likes but no views are showing up. Do other wordpress users not register at views?

  Thanks for any help – we just changed blogging platforms so are still learning.

  Likes are misleading – forget about them. Your followers and anyone with a WordPress.com blog who is logged into WordPress.com can “like” your posts in several locations without ever clicking into your blog and creating a page view stat. Those who have username accounts only but no blog can become followers and click the “like” button.

  I have reduced my RSS Feeds on this page > Settings > Reading to “summary” from “full text” to compel followers to click into my blog to read the full posts and create a page views stats when doing so.
  For each article in a feed, show
  _Full text
  _Summary

  The other benefit of “summary” RSS Feeds is that I don’t have to waste my time chasing down content thieves and making DMCA complaints to have my stolen content removed from splogs.

  You’re welcome. :)
  P.S. If you are interested in doing so you can add a third party visitor tracker, provided it’s non-Javacript. I use sitemeter. Scroll down to “visitor tracking” on this page.
