Swalchy’s suggestion above to edit line 37 in the php file worked. Made the edit in the zip file and then uploaded and installed. Back in bizness!
“It’s quite an easy fix actually. Open up the StatCounter-Wordpress-Plugin.php in an text editor and navigate to line 37 which should look like the following:
if ( stats_get_option(‘blog_id’) ) {
Change that to say:
if ( get_option(‘blog_id’) ) {
Save it, and re-upload and activate it, and walla – all working :)”
Thanks for the tip! I suppose you could just edit the file in the FTP uploader and not bother with the delete and reupload.
