   You have a huge bug: if I open in a new tag the link from “add to favorites” ?pfpaction=add&postid=xxx” it will insert a +1 in the favs stats. Even certain search engine robots can do this and you end up in having a lot of favs that are not real!

   The bug comes first from the function wpfp_do_add_to_list($post_id) . You check wpfp_check_favorited if is already favorited and you return TRUE. Then you use if(wpfp_do_add_to_list) which says TRUE even if it has been already added to favorited by the user. The sollution is to return FALSE in
   if (wpfp_check_favorited($post_id))
return false;

   This is only one solution but you need to check the code because even not logged in users can add to favorite even if you allow only logged in ones.

   I made a function that allows to show how many favs a post has and which users favorited that post. I even check in phpmyadmin and it is clear to me that the plugin inserts “fake” stats. Please solve this issue.

   Thanks a lot

         Hi Huseyin,

         after updating your plugin it seems to conflict with the FA light slider plugin. http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/featured-articles-lite/

         It’s a kind of weired but the content (images, excerpts, etc) of the slider I have on my main page appears on the favorites page unformatted. Further the content overlapps the list of favorites and even my footer.

         How should I deal with this?

         Thanks & happy new year?
         Boris

            I discovered the problem!

            For any reason I have to uncheck a slider setting to automatically display the slider on my homepage.

            Now everything works fine.

         Hi, Marian. & Huseyin
         had same issue..
         I solved it by rewriting code in plugin to block out some search engines from favoriting.

         I used something like this.
         
/* if server host contains eg. search.msn.com die */
$badbot = $_SERVER['REMOTE_HOST'];
$badagent = $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];
$badots= "search.msn.com , net.ua , softlayer.com , Spider , Sitesucker , google , GSiteCrawler ";
if( stristr ( $badbot , $badots) || stristr ( $badagent , $badots) || !isset($_COOKIE["visit"]) ) {

         wpfp_die_or_go("ERROR or Javascript required"); } else {
wpfp_add_favorite() ;
}

         Are you saying now this issue is resolved with latest update and I can update and remove this block now ?

         Thanks for mentioning this bug, Marian. I have noticed fake stats, too, and had to remove the widget because of it. Perhaps this update will fix it. What is strange in my case is that I’m using the plugin as an “Add to Wishlist” function for my book review site but the most added posts are actually not the book reviews, but one particular category of posts that is not book reviews. According to the statistics, hundreds of people are adding these old posts from this category and I know that’s not right because the category is old outdated discussions with book giveaways — not at all what people would add to a wishlist.

         I really like the plugin as a wishlist for readers, but I really wish the stats would work correctly and hope this will fix it. Thanks for your work, Huseyin!

   Is there a way I can hire you to fix the plugin? I use WP-Cache on my site and people are saying that some days they go there and their favorites list is someone elses and other times it’s blank. I have people using it 24/7 so I don’t want to get rid of it. I had someone do some customization to it that you also might like and I am glad to let you see the code for that as well if you can fix my problem.

   This is what it looks like on my site http://sweetiessweeps.com/your-sweeps-list
