the stats are cached…  so they update every hour by default, though you can change that time, using wp cron…

so is wp cron running?  try scheduling a test wp blog post for 5 mins in future… and see if it publishes…

check forum – toolbox – cron inspector… is the sph stats cron listed as running…  you can force it to run at the bottom of that panel…

if its not running, you can try deactivating simple press (do not uninstall) and then reactivating… if there was an issue with the sp crons, that will restart them…  but they still require wp cron to be running properly…

as to number of members, you can control on forum – options – global display options…

Thanks for your response.

It’s looks like wp cron isn’t running. I tried the schedule post test twice, and both times it “missed schedule.” I’ve never done anything with wp cron–I’m aware it’s there and have heard of it but that’s about it.

Any idea what I should do?

I’ve checked some of the other stuff too, but it sounds like this has to be sorted out first.

Thanks.

at this point, you would need to ask that in the wordpress.org support forum… you will find others with the same issue and some potential fixes and/or workarounds…

I can give you a code segment you can add into your spFunctions.php file that will run the stats function on every page load… so will slow you down a bit but work around it… or you could write a bit of php code around the code segment I can give you to do it less than every page load…

Thanks–I was looking around in the WP forum and codex.

I think I’ll let it go for now since it’s partly a little over my head and partly don’t have the time to get up to speed with it.

I did try the other stuff you mentioned since I read on WP that–if I understood properly–parts of cron may be working and others not, so I gave the SP-specific stuff a whirl but nothing changed. Also tried changing the member  issue as you said but nothing changed.

It’s not important–if the footer stuff is the only problem. I’ve just wanted things to look a little busier since I’m opening the doors again shortly.

I’m wondering, though, if the WP cron will affect the drip content I’m setting up (with Premise) and anything else membership-related but not Simple:Press. I have a friend who will be taking a look tomorrow, and I’ll mention this to him.

Thanks! I might still be interested in the code segment stuff you mentioned, but I’ll wait to see what my tech friend says.

okay, just let me know… its a single line of code to run the stats every page load…  a while back, that is how we did it all the time, but in interest of performance, started caching the stats…
