Today Stats stop working

  • Today after stats went into a new day it stop tracking my website. It counted 1 hit and then stopped working. Nothing on the site was added or changed.
    I don’t even know where to start troubleshooting this so any suggestions would be great.
    I’m also wondering if anyone else is having this problem.
    I am using
    WordPress.com Stats
    Version: 1.1.1
    Thank you Oxgon.

  • Me too!

    It’s been a week now. I saw on another something (the .com forums?) about needing <?php wp_footer(): ?> in the footer section, but if I need that (and it isn’t in my new template) I don’t know where I aught to put it and whether it needs a closing tag (or what that would be) anywhere.

    Interesting. Just checked my site and the smiley is gone from the footer area. Hmmmm

    Yea snowffairy, you need to have that in your footer at the very bottom before body. Here is a example how it is on my site.

    <?php wp_footer(); ?>
    </body>
    </html>

    But unfortunately this is not the case on my site. My site is doing something very weired, after this post it recored total of 3 random hits to my site. On different posts also. So out of blue it worked 3 times.
    I think my partner for the web page, did something with our RSS feed around the time it stoped working but i can’t figure out what would be blocking it.

    I stuck it in, nothing happened for a while.

    I removed the “meta” widget (b/c it wasn’t part of the formula when I changed themes right before this junk started) and I’ve recorded for page-loads so far.

    I’m totally going to be a stat junkie today– see if tis keeps working.

    thats how i was, im super addicted to checking stats lol. I have google stats also but i loved this one because it was all in one place. Really sad it stopped working

    Well, it’s still working again for me– I’m not touching anything till my week of flat-line works of the stats.

    GL figuring our your stats.

    Mine stopped working too – no stats for two days. I am also totally hooked on my stats. Hope to get this back soon – feeling very frustrated.

    Ok, I assume you put this code
    <?php wp_footer(); ?>
    in the footer theme edit? I couldn’t find a better place to place it. I also can’t find the beginning of the body, only the end in the footer. I hate feeling so lost.
    I put this in the footer and so far, nothing. Will give it more time. — Donlyn

    Well there is many ways to do it but you need to edit the footer.php and put <?php wp_footer(); ?> above the </body> part. This is at the bottom of the page.
    You said it was working so im guess you did this but just for anyone new reading.
    You also need to put in your API Key.
