supportI am using the free version of WP Post Views Counter. In my WordPress dashboard I see a graph with shows me the post view count of today but only today. Not so long ago I was able to see the daily view count on this graph and could see also data for previous months. Underneath the graph, I see a list of Top posts and that seems to work fine with views per month for all previous months. What could be causing this? The page I need help with: [ log in to see the link]
Have you changed the Cleanup Interval recently? This setting defines how long daily records are retained. To generate monthly charts, these records must be stored for at least 30 days. Typically, this value can be set to 0 , which means all daily data is stored indefinitely. However, some smaller shared hosting environments may require limiting the amount of stored data. This feature is designed to help manage that limitation, but as a side effect it may prevent the system from displaying data broken down by individual days if the retention period is set too low. Please note that only daily records are affected by this setting — aggregated data such as weekly, monthly, yearly, and overall totals are never removed.
I had actually set that interval to 0 (I was just trying out different things) the same day that I posted my question here and it seems indeed that the dashboard graph is now again showing daily data. So it looks like coincidently I did exactly what you advised and the issue is solved. Thanks for your reply and information. Understanding the impact of this setting is most helpful. Best regards
