But for your case the JS header is nowhere to be seen. I did a search for .js file in your header, beside your theme default. js file, it seems no other js file is in it. * Try on the default theme to see? * Thread Starter [crossx](https://wordpress.org/support/users/crossx/) * (@crossx) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/view-counts-stoped-working/#post-4196003) * I think I solved!

But how? * Meanwhile I discovered that, using the Minify: Help Wizard, and unchecking all the JavaScript files embeded in , the counting works. Btw, I let checked all the following Cascading Style Sheets. * Minify Help wizard: To get started with minify, we’ve identified the following external CSS and JS objects in the theme. Select “add” the files you wish to minify, then click “apply & close” to save the settings.
