Stats not working on WordPress blogs

It seems that a lot of users on WordPress self-hosted blogs have seen their stats vanish on their admin dashboard pages. There hasn’t been any official word from WP Support, but I did find a solution to the problem. Installing the Jetpack plug-in enabled my stats to work again on both my blogs. I actually like the Jetpack stats display better than the former WP stats—I see them as a vertical graph now, and it loads much quicker. Hovering your mouse over any of the date bars will cause a window to pop up, informing you how many readers visited your blog on that particular day.

Besides stats, Jetpack offers a host of other features:

Bear in mind that for Jetpack to work, you need to upgrade your self-hosted WP blog to the latest version (3.1 as of now) The plug-in will only work with WP versions 3.0.5 and higher. Hope this helps those who have problems viewing their stats. Have a nice day.

Stats make a comeback!

OK, after some cursing and swearing and so on and so forth, it turns out that some of my new WordPress themes did not include the WordPress.com Stats code in the footer.php:

<?php wp_footer(); ?>

The stats have started to return after I inserted that line of code, just like magic, duh. It seems that I learn something new every day Hee hee

WordPress.com Stats…broken?

WordPress.com Stats is a very useful plug-in for us WP users…when it’s working. When it’s not, Grrr. Mine has gone south for the past two days. When I access it, it reports 0 views; I don’t know what the hell is happening to it. I checked the WordPress.com Stats forum and it seems that I’m not the only one experiencing this problem. The most frustrating thing is, no one has yet to come up with a solution to this problem. Speak up if you’ve got the solution!

Aw shucks, at least I’ve still got Feedjit in my sidebar. It’s a great widget for monitoring who has visited your blog recently. Have a look in my sidebar if you want to see it. It’s free so grab it if you want to.
