Re: flag counter not registering visitors

Hi Jens,

Thanks for the info. I was searching for a counter that will reasonably accurately show visitor count and not unique visitors only but include repeat visitors. I can compare the data displayed with what is shown in cPanel on the server. I hope Flag Counter solves my problems.

Thanks,
Peter
PS. Will let you know, on this forum, after tomorrow.

Re: flag counter not registering visitors

Hi Jens,

Looks like flag counter is not counting properly. If you view my page at http://www.bachutha.com/about you will see what cPanel counted and you will also see what the flag counter counted. Map of  Wordpress plugin "Who's been online" count of unique visitors has increased from 1527 to 1631 (104 unique visitors but it's internal database records shows many repeat visits) and according to cPanel there are 102 to 140 visitors per day. The Flag Counter shows a total of 52 visitors (probably should be around 200) since July 7th 2011.

There is something that is not quite right, somewhere. What should I do now?

Thanks,
Peter

Re: flag counter not registering visitors

My visit was counted today That is the good news.
What I have considered in the past is that it makes no sense to compare results of different analytic tools. They use different tracking technologies and it can not be said that one is the best, neither wordpress nor google or others.
Flag counter (FC) can only count visitors who have been displayed the FC image. If they visit you frequently and they don't clean their cookies in the meantime they will no be counted twice.

A good idea of checking what is going on is to check the FC visitor log. You will see only those visits registered by FC and you can check whether they are new or not counted as new.

Re: flag counter not registering visitors

Thanks for the visit but it does not count everyone as shown in my About page http://www.bachutha.com/about even Feedjit has similar mis-counts.

Is there a Worpdpress plugin version of Flag Counter?

Re: flag counter not registering visitors

Yes, it is provided by a third party. Check the regenerate html at your  FC management. 
You will find several other options, e.g. wordpress, underneath the codes provided by FC.

Re: flag counter not registering visitors

Thanks, I clciked on Wordpress and entered my wordpress username, password and blog (bachutha.com) and then hit post. It went busy for  a while then came back. I checked my Wordpress admin panel and did not see any new plugins to activate.

I checked my emails but there is no new plugins to upload to my self-hosted Wordpress site.

Is this okay? Does it upgrade the original code transparently?

Re: flag counter not registering visitors

As I said, it is a third party application. I recommend to go back to the previous installation if you feel it went wrong.
I don't have a wordpress account. It is hard to give a serious statement how it would appear in wordpress.

Re: flag counter not registering visitors

Do I have to copy the new regenerated code after clicking on Wordpress?

Re: flag counter not registering visitors

I tried it again and it said 'login failed' and that is because my blog is not hosted at Wordpress.com but on my own site. I copied the newly regenerated code and it shows 18 flags collected but 12 flags are displayed on the Flag Counter. Between message #17 and this message there are an additional 12 visitors to my site at http://bachutha.com
