Hi porcelainulairi,

I just tested the app and it does seem to be updating topics. Be sure you have version 3.6 running (it was just released).

You might try closing the app and reopening it to reset it. (Not sure if that's what you mean by restarting it). To do this, double click the button until you get the row of apps, and then click the x on the WordPress app.

If that doesn't work, the iOS forums are a good place to look for additional solutions or post your issue.

Sorry about that. I tagged this thread for Staff help.

I have the latest version of the app from the App Store. The link you listed shows a version much older than the one I have.

This is just to be sure are you running the latest version of the app http://en.blog.wordpress.com/2012/08/09/wpios-3-1/

I am using the most recent version of the WordPress app. I am following several topics, but when I go to the Reader using the app, they are not updating. I will swipe down to try and manually update, but that does not work either. I have some topics that have the "most recent" post at 31 days.

I have tried restarting the app and my iPad, but now all of the topics are not updating. I have also checked my reader using the browser on my iPad and they are updating there, so it appears to be an issue with the app only.

That is not a free hosted WordPress.com blog. WordPress.com and WordPress.org are completely separate sites with different username accounts and logins. You are posting to the wrong support forum. If you don't have a username account at WordPress.ORG click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, so you can post to the support forums there and receive advice from WordPress.ORG bloggers.

You're welcome. In the future, never paste from other sources directly into the Visual editor: use the buttons Tess suggested, or paste into the Text editor then switch to Visual for formatting.

It's possible that I did copy and paste from Word, although I don't remember. I followed your directions, justpi, and it looks fine now. Thank you!

@derawu: To correct the post, select all and click the "Remove Formatting" button; then select all, select Paragraph from the format tool (if it isn't already selected), switch the editor to Text and back to Visual; then turn the headings to bold again and click Update.

Are you copying and pasting from Word (or other word-processing software)? You seem to have a lot of "junk" code which makes me this this is the case. If you want to work off-line in a word-processor-like program get WindowsLiveWriter. It's free and works well with WordPress.com.

If you must use a word processing program, then use the "Paste fro Word" button or "Paste as Plain Text" button on the visual editor:
http://en.support.wordpress.com/visual-editor/#row-2
see #5 and #6 in that link.

Word is a fine word processor, but it does a very poor job of formatting online.

justpi — Sun, 10 Feb 2013 04:04:22 +0000

The coding of the post is a mess. Did you copypaste from another source (such as Word)?

I set my paragraphs to have a certain spacing pattern, yet, when I clicked publish, all the formatting was wacky. Lines were bold that weren't supposed to be. Spaces were missing in some places, and there were extra spaces in others. So I went back and fixed it...and when I updated it some things were fixed but then new areas had wrong formatting. I've updated at least 10 times and it just doesn't seem to be holding my changes.

Likes and shares are misleading when you are talking about page view stats. Your followers and anyone with a WordPress.com blog who is logged into WordPress.com can "like" and "share" your posts in several locations such as the Reader without ever clicking into your blog and creating a page view stat.
http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2012/07/09/wordpress-followers-likes-and-stats/

I choose to reduce my RSS Feed to "summary" here > Settings > Reading
For each article in a feed, show
Full text
Summary
Doing that compels followers to click in and read the full post on my blogs.

WordPress.com stats are not real time stats. that means they take time to update. Also as I posted above one does not need to click into your blog and create a page view stat to click a like button.

Why don’t post/page views add up to total views?
Post/page views are included in total views, but there are many views to your site that are not a post or page URL. The front pages, category/tag/date/author archives, and searches are all examples of other views that only count towards total views. http://en.support.wordpress.com/stats/#additional-info

My stats bar has not been updating. I know people visit my blog because they are liking my posts but none of them show up on my daily stats or on the little bar at the top. I've had my blog for about a year now but only in the last month or so has it done this. Could someone please tell me how to fix this? (Please keep in mind that I am not technically savvy. If you could tell me exactly what to click/where to go, it would be much appreciated.)
Thanks for any help you could give!

My blog appears to have 0 stats even though multiple people have told me that they visited my blog in the past few days. The stats were correct three days ago, but have now stopped working correctly.

This is my blog: http://sweetrecipesblog.wordpress.com/

You're welcome and not to worry as no stats will be lost.

Thanks so much for your help on this, I really appreciate it.

I would not worry about this and here is why. The fact you had a browser issue re: viewing the stats does not in any way shape of form have an effect on the page views being recorded by the software. I expect that the stats are cached and will rectify over time. However, I flagged this thread so Staff will check your stats for you when they can.

coypu — Sat, 25 Aug 2012 18:09:42 +0000

I've done that and the stats have now changed marginally to record hits made in the last few minutes. Does that mean that any hits that have been made during the time it wasn't working will not now be recorded? I'd kind of hoped that they would be stored and would come through once it was up and running again.

Is there anything I can do then? I've never had it before and as I say I changed nothing.

timethief on "Stats not updating"

timethief — Sat, 25 Aug 2012 17:24:58 +0000

No there is no "general problem" that I'm aware of at all. This issue seems to affect only a few bloggers.

When I logged in this morning I had 18 hits. It's not changed all day, and yet I know there have been hits on the site throughout the day. I haven't changed anything at all. Is there a general problem with the facility?

Yes to all three. My computer has only just completed updates which wouldn't apply, unless there were more while I was away. I know the potential for mechanical problems is huge with the numbers on WP, it was just unusual for this action to be working one day and not the next.

I'll keep an eye on it and see if the graph thing sorts itself out. It highlights yellow but won't reveal. I had a few hits that day and I want to know what people were reading (since they were full length articles).

Thanks for your suggestions though timelord.
