wordpress.com stats problems

6 replies
I searched here before looking elsewhere and decided to post in case anyone else is having problems with wp stats plugin.

I found out that the best way to fix this is to deactivate wp stats and install jetpack but that did not immediately fix the problem so some of us will have to edit jet pack.

if you get the message:

Your Jetpack has a glitch. Connecting this site with WordPress.com is not possible. This usually means your site is not publicly accessible (localhost).

you have to go into the plugin editor and choose jetpack then replace

if ( $jetpack->use_ssl[$method] ) { (with the following-don't copy this part)

if ( false && $jetpack->use_ssl[$method] ) {

I posted this on the wp forum:

editing the jetpack works perfectly and I like it better anyway. open notepad copy your jetpack file from the plugin editor and find if ( $jetpack->use_ssl[$method] ) { then replace with if ( false && $jetpack->use_ssl[$method] ) { the then just paste the whole thing back into the editor and update

I was waiting patiently for it to start working again but then decided to try to find the answer and this is what I came up with so I thought maybe other's might be having the same problem.

Hope this helps

    Brilliant, though I still dont see myself using it that much.

    Quite a pretty looking app though.

    You might asked yourselves this question: Why would a company that specializes in hosting blogs and building blog software want to offer me a free service that measures my blog traffic?

    Not sure about you all, but that just creeps me out totally.

    Were it me, I'd use some other stats service - anything except Google Anayltics.
