Hi,

So I know how to view my stats, I know how to watch stats for individual posts, but I can’t seem to find the data for the total views of all time. It shows how many per day, week, month year, but I can’t seem to find an overall total.
Of course I know how to add up and so, but is there an easier way to find out the total amount of views for a post overall?

The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Not exactly, I can’t see where she says where to find the ‘All time’ views for individual posts.

For example: 2014 a post was viewed 300 times and in 2015 200 times, where can I find a part which says: the total amount of views was 500?

That particular stat isn’t available. Adding up the yearly views for an individual post is the best way to get that information.

Why did they remove the All Time stats? I can’t find anyone providing a reason.

Where is the best place to make this suggestion?

Hi,

@raulzingle I always switch to the ‘old stats page’ as I prefer it for many reasons (but was unaware of this one..)

It won’t exactly help ‘going back years’ for individual posts, but I like the ‘breakdown summaries’ it shows, recent weeks; that will allow you to see stats going back a few months for particular posts; click on it and see the stats for that day

If you scroll to the bottom of the ‘new stats page’ you’ll see an option to switch to the ‘old stats page’ (that shows ‘all time stats’.. where you can also click on summaries and it will show you months and years, grouped weeks etc.

Hope this helps.

I just added the info as at least the old stats page shows more info altogether. Apologies if you’re aware of it already :)

My View Old Stats Page option has disappeared. Now at the bottom I get a link back to Insights.

Have we lost access to the old version of stats?

Yes, you can view them at: https://wordpress.com/my-stats/

I save it on my bookmark bar for easy navigation, along with my wp-admin (dashboard).

The link afreestyler will take you to the old stats page. The “all time” stats you were looking for are also available on the insights page.

Thanks! Where can I watch all-time stats for individual posts? I can’t seem to find them anymore

Clicking on a post title on the stats page will take you to the stats detail for that particular post.

But that doesn’t show me overall views, does it?

You’ll have to add the yearly views up to get the totals from that page.
