rekall

tried all of the above suggestions… then i put this in my footer.php after the call to wp_footer();

<script type=”text/javascript”>
var e = document.getElementById(“wpstats”);
e.style.width = “0px”;
e.style.height= “0px”;
e.style.overflow = “hidden”;
</script>

the above didn’t work for me, but this does:

put this in footer.php after wp_footer();

<script type=”text/javascript”>
var e = document.getElementById(“wpstats”);
e.style.width = “0px”;
e.style.height= “0px”;
e.style.overflow = “hidden”;
</script>

put this in footer.php after wp_footer();

<script type=”text/javascript”>
var e = document.getElementById(“wpstats”);
e.style.width = “0px”;
e.style.height= “0px”;
e.style.overflow = “hidden”;
</script>

put this in your footer.php AFTER the call to wp_footer();

<script type=”text/javascript”>
var e = document.getElementById(“wpstats”);
e.style.width = “0px”;
e.style.height= “0px”;
e.style.overflow = “hidden”;
</script>

wordpress 2.6.1 & php 4.3.2
upgrading php to 4.4.9 or php5 is not in our future.
