Yet, I&#8217;m set up to be able, to install 3rd-party plug-ins. I&#8217;ve been using Post Views Counter (PVC) for years.<\/p>\n<p>But an odd development has just begun. For February 9, the PVC dashboard widget is showing, that I had 252 direct views to postings. But since then, for the 10th and the 11th of February, PVC indicates that I&#8217;ve had zero visits.<\/p>\n<p>Consistently with that, the number of direct views to postings I made, since February 9, is also being shown as zero. I have set PVC to ignore viewings from bots.<\/p>\n<p>I know that this information is false, because I can just<\/p>\n<p><code>cat \/var\/log\/apache2\/access.log<\/code><\/p>\n<p>And my server log states, that my blog has been viewed, by users that have a valid browser-version as their UA, as recently as this morning, on February 11.
