Any additional direction that you could give would be appreciated. I’m not sure where to check or even what to look for. * Thanks, Tom * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Ads by datafeedr.com] Impression & Hit Counts Not Correct](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/impression-hit-counts-not-correct/) * Thread Starter [ethanoltom](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ethanoltom/) * (@ethanoltom) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/impression-hit-counts-not-correct/#post-6017586) * Eric, Dreamhost suggested that I speak with the developer of the plugin to see if there was anything that could be changed to work around this issue. Here is the response below. * You’ll want to speak with the plugin developer or support team further about this as there is caching in place on the DreamPress servers that the plugin team may be able to configure the plugin to avoid caching. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Ads by datafeedr.com] Impression & Hit Counts Not Correct](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/impression-hit-counts-not-correct/) * Thread Starter [ethanoltom](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ethanoltom/) * (@ethanoltom) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/impression-hit-counts-not-correct/#post-6017547) * Just removed the new code and ads are back to correctly rotating randomly in only their designated Group/Widget area. But they are back to the original problem of getting no impression count again now. * Thanks, Tom * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Ads by datafeedr.com] Impression & Hit Counts Not Correct](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/impression-hit-counts-not-correct/) * Thread Starter [ethanoltom](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ethanoltom/) * (@ethanoltom) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/impression-hit-counts-not-correct/#post-6017543) * Thanks Ipstenu/Eric. * May be making some headway. I added the return_javascript=1 and most of the time it is registering the impressions, but not always. It did cause a secondary issue though. I had all of the ads assigned to a group, that group was assigned to a specific text widget location (First Sidebar, Second Sidebar, Header, etc.) and set to rotate randomly within that group. This worked prior to adding the return_javascript=1 code. Since adding the new code all ads that I have created, even those not assigned to any group, are rotating randomly in all group locations. * Thanks, Tom * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Ads by datafeedr.com] Impression & Hit Counts Not Correct](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/impression-hit-counts-not-correct/) * Thread Starter [ethanoltom](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ethanoltom/) * (@ethanoltom) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/impression-hit-counts-not-correct/#post-6017520) * Hi Eric, * Spoke with DreamHost they do use server side caching. They believe that there may be a way to handle this and I’m waiting to hear back from them. * Thanks, Tom * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Ads by datafeedr.com] Impression & Hit Counts Not Correct](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/impression-hit-counts-not-correct/) * Thread Starter [ethanoltom](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ethanoltom/) * (@ethanoltom) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/impression-hit-counts-not-correct/#post-6017491) * Hi Eric, No caching plugin installed on the site. Where would I check to see if Memcache would be active? * Thanks, Tom * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Ads by datafeedr.com] Impression & Hit Counts Not Correct](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/impression-hit-counts-not-correct/) * Thread Starter [ethanoltom](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ethanoltom/) * (@ethanoltom) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/impression-hit-counts-not-correct/#post-6017481) * Eric, * I will respond in the forum and directly via email as well, but wanted to be able to send you a screen view of what I was seeing on the “All Ads” administration page of your DR Ads plugin. I’m really not concerned as much with the Hits as I am with the Impression count not being correct, especially with it being so far off. Please see the screen shot attachment in my email. * The “bug” that I was referring to was the one that you had mentioned and linked to in your reply to my original post. I have attached it below. This Warning for an Empty Delimiter issue is new but the impressions counter issue was happening previous to this. * Eric wrote: Another thing that might be affecting ad impression counts is the bug you have in your ‘buddypress’ plugin. If you go here [http://www.ethanolnetworks.com/members/mattwerzyn/](http://www.ethanolnetworks.com/members/mattwerzyn/) you will see the following error: * Warning: strstr() [function.strstr]: Empty delimiter in /home/wp_xxxxxxxxx/ethanolnetworks. com/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-filters.php on line 641 * Thanks, Tom * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Ads by datafeedr.com] Impression & Hit Counts Not Correct](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/impression-hit-counts-not-correct/) * Thread Starter [ethanoltom](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ethanoltom/) * (@ethanoltom) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/impression-hit-counts-not-correct/#post-6017379) * When in the admin backend of the site and looking at the Ads plugin under all ads it shows a column for Hits in between Date and Start date. I had assumed that this was counting the number of clicks that an ad received. * I do have ad impression count enable for admins. I noticed the “bug” that you had mentioned just this week and the problem with the impressions count has been going on much longer so I do not believe this is the issue.
