Topic: Postviews shows everywhere "1" after Upgrade to 2.9

[xspoof3]

After i upgraded to WP 2.9 postviews shows only "1" on every post.
Code for postviews: <?php if(function_exists('the_views')) { the_views(); } ?>

Only the Widget that displays the most viewed Posts shows correct views.

I already tried disabling all other plugins and switching to the default theme. Doesnt help, same problem,
only widget works.

Any Idea what could be wrong?

You might want to check if there is more than 1 custom field called "views" in the custom post meta by editing the post in WP-Admin.

I confirm there is a bug and no there is not a double on customfield in admin
I use the plugin more than 2 years

Hmm, I have no idea, it works fine for me on two of my installation and of course I have used them for more than 2 years.

Try placing the code after <?php the_content(); ?> in the default theme index.php. Also checked your wp_postmeta table using phpmyadmin and see if you can find any fields of "meta_key" with a value "views" and see are they any 1 value.

That's the point. All my posts have exactly 2 fields called "views". Any way to automatically delete one field?

You can't actually, you have to delete 1 by 1 or uninstall the plugin so all the views can deleted but you have to start over again. This is more of a data corruption as one user also encounter the same thing when he upgraded his DB.
