    Thanks for a great plugin!

    I have one question though: I’m not sure if the Piwik referrer spam blacklist is working. For one I get a lot of referring sites like success-seo.com
    But other than that, the WP Statistics show that I have enabled Piwik, but there is no mention of the current Piwik db being installed and for the scheduled update is says that it will be at 8-1-1970 @ 14:47.
    Am I missing something? How do I (properly) enable and update Piwik?

    The date display is a bug, it will be fixed in the next release.

    You can force the download via the settings page.

    Check your PHP logs as well for any errors.

    If you are comfortable working with phpMyAdmin, you can search the wp_options table for the wp_statistics setting which should have the list of referrer spam sites in it.

    Thanks for your answer!

    The list of the referrer spam sites is present in the wp_statistics entry.
    I checked all suspected referrer spam sites I have in my referrer list and there are 3 that are included in the database.
    So the list is correctly downloaded, but for some reason not used.
    At the moment I don’t have debugging enabled, so I will do so and check if the logs can shed any light on this.

    Try the following, edit wordpress/wp-content/wp-content/plugins/wp-statistics/includes/classes/hits.class.php, line 192 should currently be:

    if( $this->get_option('referrerspam') == 1 && !$this->exclusion_match ) {

    replace it with:

    if( $this->get_option('referrerspam') && !$this->exclusion_match ) {
