wpForo 1.x.x [Closed] Counting non-registered visitors so all views count

DavidBorrink · 2020-09-30T20:41:56Z

We have been following a couple threads here to try and get our view numbers to match what we're seeing on Google Analytics and on the Topic pages. Here are those threads:and these two:and We have cleared all caches on the forum dashboard, turned off all caching choices in the features tab in the settings area of the dashboard, and added the filter code recommended for version 1.7.8 and above since we have 1.8.4 running. But the numbers are not changing like we think they should. For example: today we have a topic that is getting a lot of traffic. Hundreds of visitors. The topics registered at 37 views for a bit, then we did the above steps and it went to 39. On the Main Forum page where you see the subforms, this area has messages like "15 people viewing", but if you go to the topic they would be going to, we still have 39 views listed, this number should be shooting up, like to 54 at the moment if "15 people viewing", and there have been hundreds coming over to see it. Our number of views should be 400-500 by our estimations. We followed all the instructions in the above posts, is there something else we haven't done?

I do understand what you're saying about the numbers not being able to change to get to 1,000, because the filters were not in place for the early moments of the post. I did clear the cache and our numbers are up to 397 from 301 so visit counts are going up more. We'll move forward from here. Thanks for your input.
