 * Hi,
    I uploaded the Local Analytics Plugin and it’s giving me this error:
 * “**local-urchin.js does not exist**“
 * So I went to their homepage and found the answer to the problem, which is:
    “**
   The plugin automatically downloads and stores a fresh copy of urchin.js ga.js
   in the plugin directory, under the filename local-urchin.js. While activating
   the Local Analytics, if there are sufficient privilages, the plugin will automatically
   create the file. If it fails, then you will have to manually create the file 
   and chmod it 0666. The best idea is to chmod the plugin directory 0666, before
   activating the plugin (so that the file will be created automatically on plugin
   activation)**.”
 * Can someone please translate this into layman’s terms? The simpler the better..
   I’m talking local-urchin.js for dummies. I don’t even know where to begin in 
   creating this file.
 * Thanks 🙂

 * I found the same. It this causing many of my functions to be grayed out? I can’t
   fix the error message.

 * I fixed it by deactiviting the Local Analytics plugin.
