 * I first installed this on my dev server and grabbed the views out of the meta
   info and printed them in my template and it worked GREAT.
 * I moved it to live and I’m not seeing the views meta key in my post meta. That’s
   when I read the doc and saw that I need to tell THIS plugin my jetpack API key.
 * Why did it work on my dev server without me telling it my API key in some way?
   I assumed it would use the one in Jetpack.
 * I’m running this on a large network, do I need to create a widget on every site,
   give it the key for that site, and then deactivate the widget? I don’t want a
   widget, but is that the only way to tell this plugin what the API key is?
 * Thanks for the advice!

 * I found the problem with my dev environment. I do have Jetpack installed but 
   it wans’t linked to WordPress.com (because it’s a local test server). Not being
   able to connect to WordPress makes the stats_get_csv() function nonexistant.
 * I don’t see your email address, but I’ll post in this thread a link to a testable.
   zip file when I have it ready to test. Thanks for helping me out.
