Every time a user visits a profile, the profile's visit count increases by 8.

How can I fix it? It's peculiar, I think the PHP code increments the visit count runs 8 times on profile visits.

It actually adds a single record to the views table, which is counted periodically. I would suggest disabling all 3rd party items first of all, and if you are running any caching, I would disable that also for testing

What was the latest change/modification done to the forum before this started to happen?

I've disabled all the 3rd party applications but it's still the same.

Hi, I've updated the access information.

Taking a look at your system there, I notice you are using cron at present. Please could you check and ensure you are not running this more than once on the server?

I created that cron recently... After this error occurred. So, probably not because of that. Thanks a lot for your help btw.

Also checked the cron job, it runs once a minute. No problem.

Make sure you haven't a browser extension to reload the page. Every time it reloads, it adds one record in the core_view_updates table.

I don't have that kind of an extension, also this problem is currently valid for all the members, not just for me. It's too weird.

Also core_view_updates table looks like this.

That will increase only 1 view in the topic ID 95.

So it's a start to know that there aren't several records for the same topic in the table.

Here I pressed F5 a few times in same topic:

So it will increase in 5 the number of views.

Only this one record exists in the table.

Sorry I just checked again, yea it adds 8 records for each view:

Do you use Redis?

No, I was using normal caching but when this bug occurred I tried to use MySQL Caching. Didn't get fixed.

@Marc Stridgen, I see some mentions to \IPS\Content\Views in \IPS\Content\Controller::manage(), specifically when using Cache/Redis. \IPS\Content\Views is deprecated; shouldn't be there, AFAIK.

Not sure it's related though.

I have created a ticket on this for you, so we can take a closer look
