Title: [Plugin: WordPress.com Stats] 400 bad request error nginx Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # [Plugin: WordPress.com Stats] 400 bad request error nginx * [omaxwell](https://wordpress.org/support/users/omaxwell/) * (@omaxwell) * [16 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpresscom-stats-400-bad-request-error-nginx/) * I just got the nginx error for the first time this morning on my self-hosted blog ([http://www.otismaxwell.com/blog](http://www.otismaxwell.com/blog) ). Yesterday I visited my dashboard and installed the latest versions of All in One SEO Pack( Version 1.6.7). Also, my RSS widget was not showing options for feeds so I turned it off and back on again which fixed that problem. Could either of these actions interfered with WordPress Stats? * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/stats/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/stats/) Viewing 9 replies - 1 through 9 (of 9 total) * [michaelh2009](https://wordpress.org/support/users/michaelh2009/) * (@michaelh2009) * [16 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpresscom-stats-400-bad-request-error-nginx/#post-1248530) * Hey, * According to [400 Bad Request](http://400BadRequest.org) the cause of this problem could be any one of the following: * Virus, spyware, malware, registry error, bad drivers etc… * [miku-shaun](https://wordpress.org/support/users/miku-shaun/) * (@miku-shaun) * [16 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpresscom-stats-400-bad-request-error-nginx/#post-1248535) * Hi, * I have recently changed users on my blog. I was asked for the API key for stats plug-in, and gave it. now im receiving the 400 bad request nginx error message. any ideas as to what the problem may be? * [torx](https://wordpress.org/support/users/torx/) * (@torx) * [16 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpresscom-stats-400-bad-request-error-nginx/#post-1248541) * I just had the same problem activating the plugin on one of my WordPress MU blogs. * I determined it was because when I copied and pasted the API key, I included a trailing space. E.g. ‘abcdefghijk ‘ instead of the correct ‘abcdefghijk’ * I disabled the plugin, re-enabled it, put in the correct API key without a trailing space and everything worked great. * [amskape](https://wordpress.org/support/users/amskape/) * (@amskape) * [16 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpresscom-stats-400-bad-request-error-nginx/#post-1248582) * Hi Sir, I have Same Problem of Bad Request 400 When I click update Button in the Edit Blog Page.
