I logged into my WP admin panel and went to the tracking and input an ad purchase ID but nothing showed up other than the ad that was purchased. It didn't display any click statistics.
Is there a way to do this in the WP admin panel that I must have missed?
I'm still a noob to OIO but just thought it'd be easier to ask for help this time.
Let me know thanks!
Couple of possibilites. First, stats aren't calculated until midnight server time, so you will need to wait until then if you haven't already.
Secondly, check your theme footer.php file for the line <?php wp_footer(); ?> - if that isn't there, stats can't be tracked.
You should then be able to access stats through the admin panel.
The site I am running oio on is plain old html not php. I don't think I can just insert that line of code before the </body> tag in the DW template, can I? What can I do to enable the stats because currently I am not seeing them at all.
How are you showing the ads? If it is via javascript (which I presume it must be), then the ad tracking code is included in the javascript file automatically.
EDIT: should have also mentioned, if you are showing default ads (ie. ones that haven't been purchased), then stats will not show for those ads. Tracking only works for purchased ads at the moment.
If that's the case, then it could be that the cron job (scheduled task) that deals with stats has hung. If you're not already on it, could you update your install to 2.07 (I know upgrades are a pain, that's why I'm working on the web installer) - it should just be a case of over-writing all the files, with the exception of the main config.php file that stores your database info.
LOL. Okay, you got me to upgrade although I was putting it off. It went fine. I wasn't aware of the default ads not showing up on stats. So far I am only running my own test ads - not purchased - so that is why I have no stats.
Yeh, that's a future project. The default ads were "tacked on" when they were originally requested, but I'll be making a dedicated default ads section where they can be tracked etc.
