Why aren't stats reflecting any site visits while the site is receiving likes?

  Site stats indicate no visitors or views for the last two days, though the site has had 12 or so “likes” on posts. Also, contact form has disappeared from the site About Page. Possible to check this out? Thanks for your help. GB

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

  Hey, that is a great looking site. Nice photography. :)

  Site stats indicate no visitors or views for the last two days, though the site has had 12 or so “likes” on posts.

  It is also possible to like a post directly from the WordPress.com Reader and other social shares. Those likes would not appear as direct traffic to your site, as the “liker” never navigated to your site in their browser, which would record them properly as a view.

  Also, contact form has disappeared from the site About Page. Possible to check this out?

  Yes, I can confirm that the form does not appear to be rendered to the site, eve though your form shortcode appears to work when I test it against another theme. I am going to have our engineering team take a closer look here, and I will update you when I know more.

  Thanks for your patience. :)
