Okay that answers my question! I had not been accustomed to using the admin bar, except for one item, so it became background. I did not even see that SlimStat was up there! Upon upgrade loss of SlimStat in the left sidebar, I could not figure out how to get to SlimStat anymore! Apparently I’m not the only one (see “please return link under dashboard”). So much to do, always taking longer than expected, and less time to do it — we rely on learned pathways. A heads up on the change in the changelog would have been sweet but I understand you have your hands full, too. BTW, an over-populated (wrap-around) admin bar is a nuisance when editing, checking various screen sizes …
‘Tis great, though, thank you for all you have done!

Cannot get to SlimStat screens:

I saw the 3.0 update available for SlimStat. Checked release notes, sounded great. Typically no reason to revisit a plugin’s front page once it is settled into use! Then: “The plugin wp-slimstat/wp-slimstat-dashboard.php has been deactivated due to an error: Plugin file does not exist.” Hmmmm? Fetched and installed the dashboard widget plugin, as indeed it had disappeared.

But — SlimStat is not on the dashboard tabs, or any other tabs. No Slimstat data within the dashboard, either. How do I get to see SlimStat now?

Hmmm. Deactivate/reactivate Slimstat & dashboard widget, purge caches, no luck. I do not want to uninstall/reinstall Slimstat as I would lose data. Purge, uninstall/reinstalled the dashboard widget, purge, etc. no luck.

Any ideas? Is there a pathway to my data I’m just not seeing?
Thank you.

Posted through, but not exactly per Google example. I used the “before” box which has inserted the code after the ‘_setAccount’ line, as shown below. But it is ahead of ‘_trackPageview’ so hopefully will be good enough for Google:

var _gaq = _gaq || [];
_gaq.push([‘_setAccount’, ‘~~~~~~~~~’]);
_gaq.push([‘_addDevId’, ‘~~~~~’]); // Google Analyticator App ID with Google

var pluginUrl =
‘//www.google-analytics.com/plugins/ga/inpage_linkid.js’;
_gaq.push([‘_require’, ‘inpage_linkid’, pluginUrl]);
_gaq.push([‘_trackPageview’]);

You may be experiencing the W3 Total Cache 0.9.2.5 plugin problem?

See https://code.google.com/p/wp-aec/issues/detail?can=1&start=0&num=100&q=&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Priority%20Summary%20Modified%20Reporter%20Stars&groupby=&sort=&id=445

Thank you for update, now deletes ok. Sure wish it did not squelch the G-Analytics Event Counter … !

Resolved!
Thank you for your kind and quick reply.
Deleting SlimStat folder did the trick.
I’ll remember backdoor if goof ever happens again.

Extra notes:
I could not follow through right away because it turned I did not have permission to FTP delete. Host support would not help because my domain is under someone else’s account, a web developer that helped me get started. But he and I could not connect until Monday. NOTE TO OTHERS: Get clear access to Host support team regarding your own domain! My FTP username originally had full permission. I’ve deleted in the past but something went bump since then. My FTP username/permissions had to be recreated. ***Having access to Host support would have had my site up in hours instead of 3-1/3 days down ***

Cannot delete NextGen Gallery 1.9.8. Using WordPress 3.5 (and Google Analyticator 6.4.1)

Tried NextGEN Gallery, really like it.
But then discovered Google Analytics no longer tracking Events. Deactivated NextGEN Gallery (& NextGEN Optimizer) and found GA would count Events again. Retest, same results. Disappointed, I cannot use NextGEN Gallery.

NextGEN Optimizer deleted okay.
NextGEN Gallery won’t delete, it hangs with a blank screen.
Purge caches, still won’t delete.
Disable caches, still won’t delete.
Deleted folder via FTP so I can reinstall to try delete again because I want a proper database cleanup.
Reinstalled NextGEN Gallery.
Without activating, I tried to delete again.
Still, the delete hangs with a blank screen.

Please advise, I would like a proper delete to clear database records…

Thank you.

Okay, whew, fresh eyes today, I find CloudFlare was called in by “W3 Total Cache” plugin. At bottom of settings is suggestion to signup and get the API key. Now that I’ve read more and learned more, probably a good thing to do…. Kindof a surprise though, not-so-obvious to backtrack. It wasn’t CloudFlare’s action, apologies!

1st: My server is a well known large host company. Now that you confirm time parameter is for server time, I’ll check with them to verify correct time on the server. It is not likely they are 12 hours off, you said something about configuration (?)

2nd: This entry shows up on the server:
06/06/2012 04:46PM Directory backup-scheduler
(That fits the time I was working on WordPress and lost data.)

But the only log entry in WordPress Backup Scheduler is this:
Backup finished on May 30, 2012 at 14:56:48.

It appears that the 6/6/12 log entry did not occur. Maybe because I was working on wordpress files during the backup (unintentionally)? Or Backup Scheduler consider that backup to be corrupted, in which case could it tell me there was a problem….

Apologies for my confusions, just looking for a way to avoid problems again. Thank you.

Also, yesterday’s backup does not show on the list on the WP screen (the one from last week is there). Yesterday’s backup, however, Does show up with date-time stamp on the host/server.
