 * A few days ago I noticed that my Total and Today’s post views were WAY higher
   than they should be. It started adding 250+ views to each post, and now it says
   that today’s views are 840+ for the last few posts. While I would really love
   for this to be true, it’s not. I use both Google Analytics and Statcounter, and
   on those tools my views are more normal.
 * I am not sure what it going on. I did change themes recently, but I am not sure
   how that could be causing this problem.
 * Any ideas?

 * Are you in a position to switch back to your older theme for a day and see if
   the counts are normal?

 * I would really prefer not to, too much involved and it is an active blog. If 
   it is being possibly caused by the theme, what should I look for?

 * Firstly check if it is all the posts? Then check if the tracker code (search 
   activate_counter) appears more than once on the page. If it’s only triggered 
   after a theme change, then that might be the likely culprit

 * If this is part of a wordpress multisite installation, possibly you are experiencing
   the issue here [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/some-posts-have-total-views-stuck-at-zero-0/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/some-posts-have-total-views-stuck-at-zero-0/)
   where the views from another blog on the same site (but with same post number)
   are logged to your counter?

 * Hi,
 * Roderick. Nope. It’s not a multisite blog, but thanks. For now I had to just 
   get rid of the plugin. I may try a different one.
