Hi. Suddenly, without me changing any settings to my knowledge, the total project word count and the live session word count in the menu bar have re-set to zero and are not counting any of the words I write. The document word count in the footer window continues to rise, but not the overall counter. Help please as these numbers are both very necessary and motivating!

For some unknown reason, my word counts (total and daily) disappeared from the top bar in the application. When I hover to see these data, it shows “0 words | 0 words” instead of the actual word counts.
This happened right after I did a compile of my document to PDF a few days ago. After the first few minutes, the daily word count started working again, but the total word count was not. I tried restarting the computer with no change. After that session, I shut down the computer, hoping all would be well when I logged in again, but today I have the original problem back (neither total is showing up).
My only consolation is that the application is still keeping track of the data, but it’s a lot less convenient to check it in the middle of my writing sessions.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

Look at Project Statistics and Options to see if something is unchecked Project > Project Statistics
And look at word targets to make sure have a deadline marked.

After checking for these things, the word counts were restored to normal. Thank you!
Glad to hear, I want to make sure I didn’t offend you. God knows what might happen to me.
It would be weird for me to be offended by assistance I asked for! I really appreciate your help and the clarity of your response.
I was joking based on your deadly sounding name. I didn’t want to be killed by a deathray.
