    The problem is the outbound links are not showing up in the report. If I go into the WP admin, and check Site Analysis -> Recent Outbound Links there is nothing there.

    So they are tracking, but not being displayed.

    Yes, the link is on this page:

    http://www.brocadepartners.info/home/success-cases/

    And it is the link that says:

    “Case Study: Royal Victoria Regional Health Centre”

    It is the 3rd link down, in the middle of the page.

    You will need to login to our site to view the page. The test user login is:

    user: dtest
    pwd: jambo1

    No, not a lightbox. The link opens in a new browser tab.

    Yes, but I’m talking specifically about the outbound links. They aren’t showing up. We have a number of outbound links to YouTube videos that I clicked on, and they don’t appear in the report.

    Also, does it take a lot of time to update the data? I’ve been on with my test user on the other computer since my last post here and none of my subsequent activity is showing up in slimstat.

    Ok, so I went on another computer to login as my test user and slimstat displayed the username.

    I clicked on a few PDF’s and outbound links and Slimstat tracked the “recent downloads” and “top downloads” but not the “outbound links”, so we are getting closer.

    Are you using our Custom DB add-on?

    No we aren’t.

    If that’s not the case, then there’s something affecting the cookie that Slimstat reads to decide if that’s an existing user or not.

    Can you help us with this? It worked with version 3.x

    Some reports are now hidden by default, but you can easily add them back by checking the corresponding checkbox inside the Screen Options drawer.

    Thanks, but that still leaves the issue of the actual data not showing up for “outbound links” and “recent downloads”. Again, this data appeared in 3.x but is not showing after upgrading to the latest version last night. I’ve logged into our site as a test user using Chrome, and clicked on links of both kinds, but no data is showing up in the reports.

    Hello, I have deleted the plugin and installed it again fresh. It is tracking, but now there are other problems, which is quite frustrating. We have not gotten this software to work since day one, and each new upgrade seems to break things that previously worked. It is maddening!

    The software is not displaying registered users by their usernames like it used to in 3.x. Instead, it shows an IP address. All settings are at default. It is critical for us to track by username like we were able to do before.

    Also, your release notes say “Restored the following reports: Recent/Top Downloads, Recent/Top Outbound Links” but no data is showing for any of these and I don’t even see Recent/Top Downloads anywhere. It used to be on the “site analysis” screen but isn’t there anymore.

    Lastly, there is the issue with the “export to excel” add-on we purchased. We are using 1.7 and the latest is 2.2 but there is no option to upgrade 1.7 in the WP plugin screen. It doesn’t indicate that an update is available. Manually clicking “check for updates” says “the plugin is up to date” which is false. The add-on does not work and there is no option to upgrade it!

    Then you can go back in and accept through the settings…

    Where? I don’t see it. The GNU license would not go away for me either, using Chrome, and so I clicked “do not accept” like you suggested, but I don’t see anywhere in the setting to accept. Now I’m worried Slimstat is not going to work.

    No caching plugin used.

    We upgraded before, but the outbound links and recent download reports didn’t work, so you helped us go back to 3.9.9 via this method:

    “If you don’t want to lose your data, you can:

    make a backup of your wp_slim_* tables
    rename wp_slim_stats to wp_slims_stats_4
    rename wp_slim_stats_3 to wp_slim_stats
    rename wp_slim_stats_archive to wp_slim_stats_archive_4
    rename wp_slim_stats_archive_3 to wp_slim_stats_archive
    delete the folder wp-slimstat under /wp-content/plugins/ (DO NOT UNINSTALL the plugin, just delete the folder via FTP)
    upload 3.9.9 via FTP”

    This worked for a while, but we noticed today we have no data from 5/28 onwards. So we upgraded to 4.x via the WP plugin admin screen just a few minutes ago, hoping that would solve the problem. I’m starting to think we may need to delete everything and start from fresh.

    It worked. Thanks!

    Sounds cool, but we need that data now as we just launched a lead-generation campaign for our client and they are expecting results!

    So can we delete the plugin and install 3.9.9? Will that work? We already cataloged all previous data so we are not concerned with past data. We just need new outbound links and downloads to show up.

    Thread Starter bopjo1

    (@bopjo1)

    Sorry to continue, but that data was crucial to our campaign and 2 weeks means we will lose a lot of information. Is the data still being collected and stored in a database and just not being shown? Will the data from the next 2 weeks still be collected and shown when the plugin is updated?

    Finally, it is possible to go back to a previous version of slimstat before 4.0?

    Thread Starter bopjo1

    (@bopjo1)

    Ok, so until then “Recent Downloads” and “Outbound Links” will show no data on the “Site Analysis” screen?

    Thread Starter bopjo1

    (@bopjo1)

    Thanks for the reply. So there will be another update to slimstat?

    Great, thanks!
