The “bonkers” stats are worse than ever after a quiet time and pretty much make the plugin obsolete. * Assuming you guys are working hard on an upgrade, seeing that the last update to the plugin was 9 months ago now (version 1.5.2). * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Seriously Simple Stats] Add Spotify, Deezer, SoundCloud, Amazon](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/add-spotify-deezer-soundcloud-amazon/) * [paspen18](https://wordpress.org/support/users/paspen18/) * (@paspen18) * [2 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/add-spotify-deezer-soundcloud-amazon/#post-17478052) * Stats will only work for direct download consumers like Apple, Google and Pocket Casts. * Spotify downloads the file once and then hosts on their servers (incl. the best stats of all platforms IMO through their Podcast interface). Not familiar with Soundcloud. * Best “overall” stats package would be Chartable as they at least partially bring together Spotify and direct downloads. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Seriously Simple Stats] Bonkers stats every other day for a week now](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bonkers-stats-every-other-day-for-a-week-now/) * [paspen18](https://wordpress.org/support/users/paspen18/) * (@paspen18) * [2 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bonkers-stats-every-other-day-for-a-week-now/#post-17203960) * [@zahardoc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zahardoc/) * Fix worked out fine so far. * However today, there is another “bonkers” day. Checked the DB and the “hits” are now coming through with referrer “itms” (500+ all within a couple of seconds). Appears “itms” is what Apple calls the iTunes crawler service. * Not sure if Apple changed anything on how they are crawling rss and how that is, or should be, reflected in the stats plugin. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Seriously Simple Stats] Bonkers stats every other day for a week now](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bonkers-stats-every-other-day-for-a-week-now/) * [paspen18](https://wordpress.org/support/users/paspen18/) * (@paspen18) * [2 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bonkers-stats-every-other-day-for-a-week-now/#post-17188213) * [@zahardoc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zahardoc/) * Thanks for that. Added it to the file as described. * Hope the next release of the plug-in will address the issue directly. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Seriously Simple Stats] Bonkers stats every other day for a week now](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bonkers-stats-every-other-day-for-a-week-now/) * [paspen18](https://wordpress.org/support/users/paspen18/) * (@paspen18) * [2 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bonkers-stats-every-other-day-for-a-week-now/#post-17188039) * [@zahardoc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zahardoc/) just checked my database. All the hits in question have an empty “referrer” field. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Seriously Simple Stats] Bonkers stats every other day for a week now](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bonkers-stats-every-other-day-for-a-week-now/) * [paspen18](https://wordpress.org/support/users/paspen18/) * (@paspen18) * [2 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bonkers-stats-every-other-day-for-a-week-now/#post-17188002) * Hi * Experiencing exactly the same issue. From my perspective, it appears like a bot or a new “service” is represented as downloading all episodes in the catalogue in one go. Our daily stats are typically in the neighborhood of a multiple of the number of episodes in our archives plus the number of actual downloads on that day. * Downloads get represented under “other” in the listening sources. * Appears that the “downloads” tracked by the plugin are bogus if I compare the numbers to other services like Chartable or Podtrac. * Thanks for looking into this.
