Title: Wrong views number Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Wrong views number * Resolved [elated](https://wordpress.org/support/users/elated/) * (@elated) * [12 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wrong-views-number-1/) * The plugin worked fine until recently. Now it shows wrong views number at the stats in back end. The strange thing is that inside the post meta it shows the right number, but in widget and the stats, it shows wrong. If the post have 42 000 views all time it says so in post meta, but in the widget and the stats in back end it shows only 42. If it got 50 000 views, it shows only 50. * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-popular-posts/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-popular-posts/) Viewing 12 replies - 1 through 12 (of 12 total) * Plugin Author [Hector Cabrera](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hcabrera/) * (@hcabrera) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wrong-views-number-1/#post-3789396) * Hi there, * The WPP plugin has not been updated since over 9 months now (a couple of weeks ago I added some updated german translations, but that’s all) so it must be something at your end. Can you please share your site’s URL here so I can go take a look? Also, did you change/install/update any plugins and/or themes recently? * Thread Starter [elated](https://wordpress.org/support/users/elated/) * (@elated) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wrong-views-number-1/#post-3789397) * iskamdaznam.com is the URL. I recently changed the theme, but I cant image what went wrong and why is the plugin actiong so weird. * Plugin Author [Hector Cabrera](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hcabrera/) * (@hcabrera) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wrong-views-number-1/#post-3789421) * Well, as I said before, the plugin has not been updated in a long time. Was the theme the only change made on your site? Also, what do you mean with “post meta”? * Thread Starter [elated](https://wordpress.org/support/users/elated/) * (@elated) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wrong-views-number-1/#post-3789424) * Yes, the theme is the only change. Post meta – the info about the post (date, author and views). The function inside the single post is showing corect views. The problem is when using as widget and at the back end with the stats. * See this: prntscr.com/16yd3l The first post in the top 20 shows with 42 views. * Then see this: prntscr.com/16yd9z The same post actually got 42 700 views * Plugin Author [Hector Cabrera](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hcabrera/) * (@hcabrera) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wrong-views-number-1/#post-3789431) * That views count on your single.php, where does it get it from? * Thread Starter [elated](https://wordpress.org/support/users/elated/) * (@elated) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wrong-views-number-1/#post-3789432) * I use this code for the view count in single posts: * Plugin Author [Hector Cabrera](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hcabrera/) * (@hcabrera) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wrong-views-number-1/#post-3789433) * Weird. I’ll take a look into it and let you know what I find! * **Edit:** you seem to have discovered a new bug! It’s been a while since someone found a real one, so I guess it’s time for an update. I’ll get to work on it and post back here a test version of the plugin so you can try it out. * Plugin Author [Hector Cabrera](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hcabrera/) * (@hcabrera) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wrong-views-number-1/#post-3789537) * Hi, * Just pushed an update of the plugin that should solve the issue. Please upgrade and post your feedback here. * Thread Starter [elated](https://wordpress.org/support/users/elated/) * (@elated) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wrong-views-number-1/#post-3789538) * Weird, you kind of downgraded the plugin version. It Was 2.3.3 and now it’s 2.3.2:). But it’s ok, i manualy downloaded and replaced it. Now everything is ok. Thank you very much for your time. * Plugin Author [Hector Cabrera](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hcabrera/) * (@hcabrera) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wrong-views-number-1/#post-3789539) * Yup, a possibly major bug regarding thumbnails has been spotted and need to track it down first – so I decided to remove the update before more people gets affected by it. Don’t worry, the update will come back ASAP 🙂 * Plugin Author [Hector Cabrera](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hcabrera/) * (@hcabrera) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wrong-views-number-1/#post-3789540) * Just reuploaded v2.3.3 again! If you encounter any issues, please let me know! * Thread Starter [elated](https://wordpress.org/support/users/elated/) * (@elated) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wrong-views-number-1/#post-3789543) * It’s all good.
