A user, Divert, is experiencing an issue where their dashboard is showing 0 page views despite knowing that people have visited their pages. pfaffman initially suggested that the stats are updated only once a day, but later admitted they might have been wrong. Divert questioned the point of having “Today’s” views if they are not updated in real-time. Divert also suspected that a recently installed data-explorer plugin might be the cause of the issue. However, GI-Joe linked to a similar issue, suggesting that the problem might be related to a recent Discourse update, rather than a plugin issue.
As of today my dashboard is showing 0 page views and 1 user visit. Which I know is not true. I posted a few things and had people commenting on them on another chat, so I know they visited.
What can I do?
By the way I have always wondered what is considered a page view? since our pages are more of an infinite scroll rather than defined pages.
Those stats get updated only once per day.
If you look around a bit you can find the definition of a page view.
What is the point on having “Today’s” views if it is only updated once a day, so it will be inaccurate until tomorrow when it is no longer “Today” ?
I think I might have been wrong.
You are right in that the number shown does not change a lot throughout the day, in my case today our forum probably broke the pageviews record today, but the number is stuck in a very small value, and not even pulling the actual pageviews report change anything for today…
Yesturday I installed the data-explorer plug in and was wondering if it broke anything..
Similar to my problem here:
This seems to be a problem with one of the recent updates in discourse itself I believe as 2 incidents have been reported around the same time doesn’t make it like a plug-in problem, I guess.
