visit counter works in 2.7.2 but NOT in 3.0.8 ?

Hello all the nice PW people.

I am trying to work out why the following code of my visit counter:
 

<?PHP

/*
    simple code for recording current page visit count to its visit_counter field of "integer" type.
    But only if the visitor is not currently logged in.
*/

if($user->isLoggedin()) {
    
    /* if the user is logged in do not count visits */ 
    
} else {
    

    /* if the user is NOT logged in and not counted */

    /* turn of output formating so PW do not give an error when we change the value */
    $page->of(false);

    /* increment the current integer plus one */
    $page->visit_counter = $page->visit_counter + 1;

    /* save the visitor_counter field */
    $page->save('visit_counter');

    /* turn on output formating so PW work as it should */
    $page->of(true);
 
}
?>

Do not work in my 3.0.8 installation of ProcessWire.

It works in another website where i run 2.7.2 very well.

The field name is visit_counter and the type is Integer.
And the field is added to all the relevant templates.

Also tested editing the field in a page via admin and that updates and works. But not via the API it seems.

I include it at the top of my template files just under the BODY tag.

Have i missed anything ?

I am greatfull for all suggestions have gone a bit stir crazy trying to figure this out.

Thank you for all your tips.

For some reason it now seems to be working. I am going to keep an eye on it.

Could it be cache related and the cache was cleared after a while and now it works ?

Quick update.

I checked all the templates cache setting and it is not enabled so it can´t be the cache ?


Maybe session related ?
