I don't see the number of opens of the posts I mailed to subscribers

As you can see on the attached screenshot, I only see zeroes where I would expect to see the actual opens. The same applies to when I go to the profiles of members. I see zeroes there too.

I am pretty sure that I have configured everything with Mailgun correctly, because I have been sporadically sending subscriber emails for a couple of months now and everything works fine on the Mailgun side (incl. the analytics part).

Could anyone share an idea why this might not be working? The Ghost version I am running on is 3.40.4

Thanks!

I have kind of the same issue. My numbers randomly update. So, for example, I always send out my weekly newsletter on Sunday, on Monday it says 2% opened the email although the analytics of Mailgun say something completely different, after a couple of days the correct number gets displayed within Ghost.

So, in general, the numbers in Ghost do not correspond to the analytics Mailgun is showing.

Are you, by any chance, using Cloudflare?

I had this problem, and I finally figured out that the CNAME Mailgun asks you to set for open tracking needs to be set to “DNS Only” in Cloudflare not “Proxied”. Once I resolved that, it all started working again.
