Re: flag counter not registering visitors
Hi holland25h,
Thanks for your reply.
I have had 29 visitors from China, US, Vietnam, Brazil, Ukraine, Jakarta, .... but it does not show up in the Flag counter. Does it show up when you view my page or you can view the other page which shows map of another third party counter at
The 29 visitors don't show up when I view the page.

They don't. But my visit was recorded on both sides. They might have not load your counter or they might have visited some subsection of your page...

Re: flag counter not registering visitors
Thanks holland25h,
It is not capturing the data correctly or at least sending back the information to my flag counter correctly. Because the is a Wordpress blog and in a widget on the sidebar. It will show up on any post or page. I am using 'Who's been online' by Mike Challis, a Wordpress plugin, and total records show 59 visitors and 30 unique visitors (counter moved to 1527 for the last 30 days) since last night, since I post this problem on this forum. You can see Mike Challis map on I was trying out other visitor stats maps/counters because I wanted to show total number of visitors, when I saw Flag Counter and decided to try it as I wanted to see actual number of visitors which I can get from cPanel but cannot be displayed on the site. But it looks like Flag Counter is missing a lot of visitors. Is there anything that could be done?

Re: flag counter not registering visitors
Flag Counter can only count users that load your Flag Counter image. Anything you are using that is part of your website software has the ability to count visitors that don't see your Flag Counter.
You will need to ensure that all of your visitors can see your Flag Counter and then everything will be fine. It isn't possible for Flag Counter to "miss" a visitor that loaded the image.

Hi Jeremy,
Thanks for your reply. Everyone can see the flag counter as it is in a widget on the side panel of Wordpress. You can take a look at the site and check several pages and posts at .
I do not know what else I can do to get it to count.
Thanks,
Peter

Re: flag counter not registering visitors
My visit was counted as the first from Germany.
As stated at the end of the flag counter page you should wait 48hrs to get the statistic working properly.
Be patient!

Hi Jens,
Thanks, I didn't see the 48hrs notice. I will wait the 48hrs. I am waiting the 48 hrs for the Feedjit map so I have not complained (to Feedjit) about the map. Will let you know by tomorrow night (48hrs).
Thanks,
Peter

Re: flag counter not registering visitors
You should not trust Feedijt too much. It is very simple to change your own location using Feedjit.
Means, you can not say that a visit on Feedijt from e.g. Angola will be counted by flag counter as coming from Angola as well. It can be from elsewhere on the world.
