Thinking a bit more, could you (the plugin author) add a check that says ‘if loads of the values shown in the stats page are zero, put a little note at the top of the page that suggests to disable caching’?
Looking through the support threads it appears I have a very similar problem to http://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/overview-shows-0-visitors-but-the-rest-of-the-statistics-work but I may be missing more data than in the previous support thread
Edit: looks like all I had to do was disable caching! Now it works

In reply to: [Expound] Can't set header image in child theme?Yes but when you click on a theme (or a child theme – wordpress has the same behaviour for both) that isn’t active, but is listed under ‘available themes’ it sends you to the ‘customize’ page e.g. clicking the image of the Expound theme when it isn’t active sends you to https://www.mywebsite.com/wp-admin/customize.php?theme=expound
I would argue the intention of this is to allow you to configure your new theme before pressing the button ‘Save and Activate’. By not having the header image option visible, it defeats the point of sending you to the ‘customize’ page: by your argument wordpress may as well just immediately activate the theme and not bother with the ‘customize’ screen (which also serves to provide you with a preview).
Why should this one option be missing, when you can set all of the other options e.g. background colour, site title etc.

In reply to: [Expound] Can't set header image in child theme?OK I have fixed the problem, although I’m not sure whether there is still a bug in the software, so I wouldn’t set this as resolved just yet.
The option only appeared under the ‘customise’ menu once I had selected the header image by first enabling the theme, then clicking ‘header’. The reason why I was having problems before was because I was clicking on the not enabled child-theme theme (e.g. like clicking on the picture for the not-enabled expound, 2012 or 2012 themes in the image below), which took me to the ‘customize’ menu which did not have ‘header image’ listed.
Only by enabling the theme then clicking ‘header’ was the problem fixed (but for any users thinking ‘oh crap, I can’t set the header, so I won’t bother enabling the theme’ they will never get to the solution/workaround).
Here is an image explainig the bug/solution: http://img849.imageshack.us/img849/3690/ukbs.jpg
Can any other users replicate this problem, or did my site randomly start working and I’ve invented a plausible explanation as to why? (I’m always wary of subtle bugs as they tend to lead to security issues, plus it’s nice to know your code works as you intended it!)
Thanks
