Where to find article views, likes and comments

1. Sign in to the author's account.
2. Open My articles and find the article.
3. Check its figures: eye for views, heart for likes and speech bubble for comments. On larger screens, also use the column headings.

This is an example, not your article's actual statistics.

The counter does not check whether someone finished reading. Nor is it a lifetime unique-person count: the same reader can return later and add another view.

• Signed-in readers: repeat openings of the same article from the same account do not add a view for 24 hours after the counted opening. This is not a midnight reset.
• Signed-out visitors: openings count too, but the site distinguishes visitors approximately using connection and browser information. “One person, one view” is not an exact rule here.
• The author does not increase the counter while using their own account. Signed out, the site may not recognise them.
• Only published articles gain new views. Drafts, articles under review and archived articles do not. Archiving does not reset accumulated views.

This is a cumulative total, not a daily chart. Record it today and compare next week. The difference is additional recorded openings, not necessarily new people.

Readers select the heart to like an article and select it again to remove the like. Sign-in is required, and the site may ask for email verification. Each account can have one active like per article.

Removing a like reduces the count. That is expected, not missing statistics.

Popular in the article list sorts by likes. Ties are resolved by creation date, with newer articles first. Views do not determine this order.

The counter includes published comments and replies. One person may post several, so it is not the number of people discussing the article.

A comment under review is not counted until approved. Deleted or hidden comments are excluded. A commenter may see their own pending message before it becomes public.

If comments are disabled on the site, readers cannot use the discussion even if your list includes a comments column. See Moderation for review rules.

Refresh My articles to see fresh data. Some openings may not be counted, for example if the statistics request fails. If other people are opening a published article and the count stays unchanged for a long time, contact support with the link and approximate time you checked.

Authors see views in My articles; readers do not see them on the public page. This does not mean the site's team cannot access the data.

Likes and comment counts are public. Article cards may omit zero values. These statistics do not reveal a list of everyone who read the article.

Use a clear title, add a relevant cover and share the link where the subject is useful. See How to write an article.

Choose a suitable article topic so readers can find the material in its category.

These steps help present your article but do not guarantee higher counts. Read the figures together: openings show interest in the page, while likes and comments represent separate reader actions.
