Hello,
I have been using the services of GoStats.com , it is working fine for me. It is as simple as copy and paste of code.
I have the same problem and I think I have one piece of the puzzle. I see a reference to this in the FAQ for the WordPress stats plugin but I'm not quite sure how to implement it:
[QUOTE] What if the stats don't start showing up? Do I need anything special in my theme?
Yes, your theme must have a call to <?php wp_footer(); ?> at the very bottom right before the </body> tag.[END OF QUOTE]
I edited the footer of my theme (where the </body>
tag is and pasted <?php wp_footer(); ?> in right in front of the body tag. Not sure if that counts as a 'call' or do I have to add something else?
Example of a footer.php in your theme folder:
<div id="footer">
<a href="<?php bloginfo('siteurl'); ?>/wp-admin/" title="Login">Powered</a> by <a href="http://wordpress.org" title="WordPress" target="_blank">WordPress</a>
</div>
<?php wp_footer(); ?>
</body>
</html>
Just has to be in there for the wp.com stats plugin to work.
