   I had the error message...wordpress.com stats xxxxx suddenly not "authorized"

   This is with regard to a blog that has been running okay for well over a year now.

   (1) Looked at the wordpress.com blog account.

   (2) Read wordpress.org forum for information.

   (3) De-activated WP Stats on my wordpress.org self-hosted blog.

   (4) Installed Jet Pack on my wordpress.org self-hosted blog.

   (5) Successful install...love the new Stats - graph is brilliant.

   Question: What do I do with my old WP Stats de-activated plug-in?

   Thank you, Zoonini

   I did try to remove it, an error message displayed.

   Question: What will happen to my 15 months stats history if I remove it.

   What error message? Did you try removing it via FTP?

   No idea about your stats - maybe someone else has an answer. I didn't read through the other thread but maybe someone there can help or it's already been mentioned.

   EDIT - I see you've already posted over there. Hope someone can give you a hand.

   Thanks again, Zoonini,

   I guessed that the error may have been with regard to WP Super Cache plug-in ... and it was!

   (1) Deleted WP Super Cache plug-in (had intended to do so in any case).

   (2) De-activated Jetpack plugin

   (3) Deleted WP Stats plugin

   (4) Re-activated Jetpack plugin

   Hey presto! Stats history is all intact......Jetpack okay.

   PS. I tried this on a smaller site first as I was concerned re: stats history...which remained intact.

   Thanks again for taking the time to reply, much appreciated.

   Excellent - thanks for coming back to explain the culprit, this will likely help someone else in the future.

   How do you deactivate stats?
   How do you activate JetPack?

   I am a newbie.
   I uploaded the files via drag and drop from the unzipped JetPack folder to my blog folder, but can't figure out how to activate JetPack on WordPress.

   Can you help?

   @millsja: you need to install the plugin via the plugin interface or upload the folder via FTP to /wp-content/plugins/
