I love this plug in and have used it for ages. I use the download word count from Goodreads function but about two months ago I noticed that the page numbers had gone haywire.

I now suspect that it is downloading the word count but bizarrely it doesn't happen for every book, some books it does download the page count.

I was hoping that the new version would 'fix' this issue but I have just run the word count for 14 books and three returned normal page counts, seven returned page counts ranging from 31,000 to 106,000 and four books haven't been linked to Goodreads and/or haven't been linked to books with a page number set.

Is the problem at my end or yours and how can I fix it?
The latest release didn't touch the page count download. And I hadn't looked at it as no-one has reported any problems. About all I can say is that the few times I have tried it, the downloaded count matched what was on the page. Did you check the dowloaded page count against what is actually on the Goodreads page? And make sure you look at the same edition.

To look at this, I need examples. Can you post the goodreads link for the books both the books that got the wrong count and those that got the right count? I can test these and hopefully see what is wrong.
