WP-ShortStat 1.3 and Google Sitemaps 2.7 plugin seem to be incompatible at this time. Under WP1.5.2 with WP-SS running I activated Sitemaps plugin. At that time WP-SS quit counting. When I disable Sitemaps, WP-SS resumes counting normally.

Are the plugin authors around on this forum? Anyone know a solution?
Don't have the plugins but you can certainly look at both of them and see what they have in common, maybe they share a variable name which would be easy to change in one or the other. I've had a similar problem from time to time between hacks and now plugins.
Hi,
i had a look at the ShortStats Plugin and found the conflict. The Sitemap Generator uses some admin functions which are not included by default. The ShortStats plugin checks if the function "check_admin_referer" exists and assumes that you're always on an admin page which doesn't count, of course.
I removed the " || is_admin_page()" on line 96 in the ShortStats plugin and it looks like it's working now.
Best regards,
Arne
Thanks arnee. I really did not understand your explanation but I will try removing the code you said. That won't mess up Shortstat? Okay...
