Hi Hector – Thanks for the reply! I am using W3 Total Cache, and I tried emptying all the caches, but that didn’t change anything.
I am wondering how the upgrade scripts work – is it possible that I have the wrong table structure in one or all of the popular posts tables, and so the upgrade scripts aren’t working?
Here’s screen shots of all three tables from phpmyadmin:
sprinter_popularpostsdata
sprinter_popularpostsdatacache_backup
sprinter_popularpostssummary
Actually, the Thesis theme must be using this function, since otherwise the plug-in never would have worked, correct?
Just updated to WP 4.0, and counts are back down to zip, though the original numbers are still retained in the sprinter_popularpostsdata table.
I’d appreciate any suggestions you have for how to update the tables with the correct structure, I can provide any more details necessary.
If it helps, here’s a screen shot of part of my sprinter_popularpostsdata table, ordered by pageviews:
