Flag counter not working
Yesterday I had many more views than normal on my wordpress stats= 107 But my flag counter only showed 5 new visitors (with an additional couple more views).

Same here. Wordpress counter averages about 1,000 per day, but flag counter only 5 to 10.

Re: Flag counter not working
Hi shodan,
I have taken a look at your Wordpress and your counter is only on your main page. We can only count visitors that load your counter from our server. Your counter is working correctly.
If someone is reading an article, or your "about" page, they are not going to load your counter and are not going to be counted. Perhaps your views were to those pages. I am not familiar with what your Wordpress statistics might be referring to.

Re: Flag counter not working
I saw you answered the first person's question. I've been using it for a while and have a count over 247,000. It's on every page. I haven't looked for a while - it seems to have not been working for the last couple months. It's never been entirely matching the wordpress counts - probably because of multiple page views per user. However, since July 10, it's been way too low.

Hi whichgod,
What is the address of your site?

Re: Flag counter not working
It's whichgodsaves in the dot com domain. Tried the full URL but it won't let me submit.
Tried to attach is a file with the site stats for the last couple weeks, but it won't let me. There was a range of under 100 up to 4 days where it was over 400. Average is around 400. Usually, there is about 2.5 to 1 pages to visitors ratio, so I'd expect the numbers to be close to that. Certainly not 5 or 10 per day as the counter has been showing.
thanks

Hi whichgod,
I wasn't able to find your counter installed on that page at all.

Re: Flag counter not working
That's weird. Seems like https was no longer the default. Viewing it with an https request works, but http apparently didn't. As soon as I forced it to https, it's back. It should have been https (and used to be) - but any idea why the counter wouldn't show up if the page happened to be rendered from an http request rather than https?
thanks

Re: Flag counter not working
Hi whichgod,
I do not see your counter on either http or https. Our code is nowhere to be found in the source of the page. We are not able to count visitors who do not load your code, which is likely the problem you are seeing with your statistics.

Re: Flag counter not working
I see the counter when I view the site. Can you send me something that shows what you're looking at - to the email address registered with you? I need to find out what's going on. As I said, something happened back in July. Seems like it's not your software, but there's something else I need to discover.
thanks
