 * Please help me fix my blog. I had WordPress.com Stats 1.3.2 plugin installed 
   already into my site (www.espedido.net). The plugin notified me thru plugins 
   tab that it has a latest version (ver 1.3.4) up. I chose the option to update
   my plugin automatically. After it said it successfully updated and activated 
   the stats plugin, I now have the following error on top of my admin pages and
   site pages:
 *     ```
       Warning: include_once(/f1/content/espedido/public/wp-content/plugins/stats/) [function.include-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /f1/content/espedido/public/wp-settings.php on line 425
   
       Warning: include_once() [function.include]: Failed opening '/f1/content/espedido/public/wp-content/plugins/stats/' for inclusion (include_path='.:/nfsn/apps/php5/lib/php/:/nfsn/apps/php/lib/php/') in /f1/content/espedido/public/wp-settings.php on line 425
       ```
   
 * I tried to revert back to the old version of stats plugin but i’m still having
   the error. I deleted the stats plugin folder to deactivate it.
 * I would like to use the plugin again. please help me solve this. i can get the
   errors back again if you need to see it on my site.
 * my site is [http://www.espedido.net](http://www.espedido.net) and using neoclassical
   theme. WP version is 2.6.3 and other active plugins are adsense-manager and add-
   meta-tags-1.6. thanks

 * Hello lymdul,
    If you haven’t tried this already, download the new stats plugin
   from WordPress.org, then upload it via ftp and activate it. I’m guessing that
   something went wrong during the auto-update process that resulted in a missing
   or corrupted file.
