no, the /stats/directory is my webhost’s auto-generated site stats page, only it doesn’t work with WordPress because it gets preempted by WP’s attempt to search its database for a /stats/ page that doesn’t exist in the database.

I’ve given up on that for now though, since I found a plugin, BAStats, that serves my stat needs well enough for the time being.

Oh, okay, I just regenerated the custom permalinks and it fixed it. I can see my posts and directories again! Thanks!

But, of course my /stats/ is again a 404. Obviously what I tried with creating a .htaccess didn’t work. Any thoughts on how to stop WordPress from going to its database to look for the /stats/ directory?

Okay, I downloaded FileZilla and that finally let me view hidden files, including .htaccess. I deleted .htaccess, and still nothing has changed. What’s still wrong?

This is just what I need for my site, but I am totally new to WordPress and CSS and PHP as of yesterday, and facing a steep learning curve as I customize my site (www.goodponies.com), though I am liking WP as I become a little less scared of it. Which file do I insert this code into, and where in the file should it go? I have WordPress 1.5. Thank you so much if you can help me!
