Stats only show one post being hit

    The stats always shows the same post being hit, which I know is not the case since I also use Google Analytics. When I add a new post, the post displayed in stats always moves to the one following that shown previously.

    This happens because you are using an old version of WordPress and the Recent Posts widget. Remove the widget or update your blogging software.

    I had the same problem. Even with the newest version of WordPress, the WordPress.com Stats plugin won’t work correctly if you use the Recent Posts widget. That’s a shame.

    Also, if you are using the K2 theme you must use Widgets instead of the Side Bar Manager that the theme comes with. Also a shame.

    But stats are working now and I suppose it’s worth the compromise.

    Are you using the latest version of the wordpress.com stats plugin? That would be version 1.1.1, available here:
    http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/stats/

    I see the potential issue you’re talking about, but as far as I can tell it avoids that issue because it’s using $wp_the_query, which always holds the default query. The Recent Posts widget creates a new query, not modifying the existing one. So it should work correctly with the latest WordPress and the latest stats plugin.
