Scrivener not counting words right

My Scrivener isn’t counting my words properly. It’s counting the total words in the active text document (i.e. scene I’m workingon) ok - this is the number that shows up at the bottom of the screen - but it’s not counting my overall total words written or my words written for the day. Even though I’ve written over 1,000 words in the scene I’m working on, it’s still showing only 4,000 total for the whole project which is where it was at before I started working on the scene, and it shows me writing 0 words today.

Any ideas what’s wrong or how I can fix it?

Thanks!!

Usually, this happens when your written scene is not inside your Draft/Manuscript folder.

You should also check your Options for Statistics, to determine what’s included in counting words:
