i’m seeing a similar issue: almost double pageviews of google.com but very few users. my website averages 4 pageviews per user, but after the update i see one blank referrer with few users and a bunch of pageviews.
Hello @dryheat3 & @philharmonicmoto,
Ugh, I am sorry. The plugin was indeed double-recording after version 1.3.11. I just pushed out version 1.3.12 in which this is fixed.
The referrer counts where your own site is being recorded as a referrer will be fixed retroactively, but there is not much we can do about fixing the double recording since the plugin does not know when version 1.3.11 was installed.
If you want then you can fix your data yourself by going into your database (ie through PHPMyAdmin) and multiplying all rows which were added by version 1.3.11 by 0.5 (half).
Here’s a sample SQL statement:
UPDATE wp_koko_analytics_site_stats SET pageviews = pageviews * 0.5, visitors = visitors * 0.5 WHERE date="2024-08-17";And for post/page stats:
UPDATE wp_koko_analytics_post_stats SET pageviews = pageviews * 0.5, visitors = visitors * 0.5 WHERE date="2024-08-17";Sorry for the hiccup, but thank you for bringing this to my attention!
