For stats to work, the footer needs to include the function wp_footer().

Posted 1 year ago #VelvetBlues.com is saying that your footer.php file needs to include the wp_footer() function in order to use WordPress.com stats. If it doesn't have the function then the WordPress.com stats plug-in won't be able to insert its tracking code into your footer automatically thus being unable to provide any data.
If you want to add it to your footer.php file you just need to go to Design -> Theme Editor -> Footer (footer.php) and add the following code:
<?php wp_footer(); ?>If you do choose to edit your footer.php file this way don't forget to download your updated footer.php file to your computer in the event that you need to re-upload your website and theme in the future.
