# wordpress.com stats plugin – no posts page

 * I’m using the wordpress.com stats plugin on WP-2.6.2. I’m using a static front
   page. It seems to be recording stats for every page on my blog EXCEPT for the“
   posts page.” Front page, pages, and individual posts all have stats, but not 
   the main page with all the posts. In the admin section I have that page set as
   my posts page, and it shows the little smiley face at the bottom, yet in my stats,
   there is nothing about that page.
 * Anyone else experience this with using a static front page?
    Any ideas on a solution?
   I don’t even know where to start on this one.

 * I’m not sure what you mean… How do you know it’s not tracking that page?
 * A page with multiple posts on it like that won’t show up in the list of “Top 
   Posts & Pages”. It’s neither a Post nor a Page, as such. It’s the “front page”,
   which is special and shows lots of posts.
 * So, while the hit will be counted for the overall impressions, it doesn’t count
   as a “Page” in terms of stats.

 * I guess I don’t see why not; it IS a page because it is within the theme’s page
   structure. it is annamayer.com/news. On my stats page it shows impressions for
   the front page, so I don’t understand why it wouldn’t for this page? people have
   to click on a link to see it. We would like to know how many people are clicking
   the link to choose that page. Is there a way to have “News” show up under “Top
   posts and pages”?
 * also, would you have any ideas on this possibly related issue?

 * Hey, I’m just telling you the way it is. The main blog page is not a “Page”, 
   it’s the main blog page. It’s special. It all has to do with the query.
 * Every time you get a Page or a Post, a query is executed for that specific Page
   or Post’s content. A single entry like this has a Post ID. That is the number
   used to track these for stats.
 * But groups of posts don’t have a single post ID. Anything that shows a LOT of
   posts has a default query with more than one post on it. And this does not have
   a single ID and so it does not get tracked as a single entry. It gets the ID 
   of zero and only counts for overall impressions.
 * The fact is this: The page shows multiple posts, therefore it is not a single
   post/page as far as the stats system is concerned.

 * ok. I understood you point, I was hoping that somehow there might be a work-around.
   thanks for you help.
