    First off - you should have stated you wanted the "Official solution". As you may note this forum is primarily "unofficial". Official comes from the developers, so you need to address them specifically and state you don't want unofficial solutions next time, even though they provide the solution to your question. geez.

    I believe you need the analytics plugin enabled. Also testing from the same ip address on local host will not increment your views. I'll do my best not to provide any more unofficial solutions for you, since I am not an "official". Which begs the question - how many solutions, themes, and addons on this site are "official".

    Yes, I believe so, unless you make the unofficial change.

    What is the analytics plugin functions? Thank you!

    I don't recall exactly, it could be vanilla statistics has to be enabled.

    @peregrine 's change here works perfectly fine for me. Only need to uncomment two lines of code.
