    I’m having some trouble getting Entry “Views” Tracking to work correctly. I have a blog site where my articles are all displayed on a landing page then, link over to a single entry page. I’ve made sure caching was disabled.

    Here’s what i’m doing

    {exp:channel:entries channel="{segment_1}" limit="1" track_views="one"}
     <article id="post-full-story">
      {title} : {view_count_one}
      
      {!--
       More template stuff was here
      --}
     </article>
    {/exp:channel:entries}

    Any ideas?

    Ok, I did some digging and found that I actually have tracking disabled -oops!

    Here’s how to enable it: Admin > Security & Privacy > Tracking Preferences

    Daniel,

    Sounds like you resolved this yourself. Is there anything else I can assist you with?

    Thank you! I’ve just wasted an hour or so failing to get tracking working until I found this.

    Perhaps a note could be added to the Entry “Views” Tracking Tag documentation page?

    Griffen,

    Thanks for the suggestion. I have added a comment there now. I’m sure that’ll help others in the future.
