Topic: wp-postviews always print 0 the views of a post

[qubolabs]

Hello everybody, I've installed the wp-postviews on my wordpress blog, located at: http://www.qubolabs.com/it/blog

I've installed the WordPress 2.9 and the last version of the plug-in.

In the theme I've developed, I have a blog-post.php page for the single post posted in blog category where I have the follow code in the loop:

<div class="post" style="padding-top: 8px;">
   <div class="entry">
      <h1 style="padding-bottom: 5px;">
         <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
      </h1>
      <?php the_content(); ?>
      <?php if ( function_exists('the_views') ) { the_views(); } ?>
   </div>
</div>
<div class="comments-template">
   <?php comments_template(); ?>
</div>

My problem is that I've always see: 0 visualizzazioni ( 0 views, it's italian )

I've activated only this plugin.

Could someone help me about this issue?

Thanks in advance and sorry for my english,
Regards

is it like that on the default theme as well? If it is 0 post, there can be 2 reasons.

1. Your theme is missing <?php wp_head(); ?> in your header.php and hence the views is not counting
2. You have duplicated custom field called "views"

Is it like that on the default theme (untouched)

Thank you!

<?php wp_head(); ?> is correct, I have corrected my typo.

Does it work on the default theme with no other plugins activated? Also in WP-Admin -> Settings -> PostViews, is it set to count Everyone?
