 * Hi–
 * [http://katehackett.com/wordpress/shortstat/](http://katehackett.com/wordpress/shortstat/)
 * I ran the install, the trackme, put the code in the page (footer), and everything
   else. But what gives? It’s blank?

 * I’m not sure why that doesn’t take you to my blank shortstat page.

 * I cut & pasted, so if that doesn’t work, my apologies.
 * The tables are there but there’s nothing IN the tables.

 * Put the ShortStat tracking code at the very top of the index.php file in your/
   wordpress/ directory.

 * Hm, it works for me. Your main index.php file should look like this:
 * `<?php @include_once($_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]."/shortstat/inc.stats.php"); ?
   >
    <?php  /* Short and sweet */ define('WP_USE_THEMES', true); require('./wp-
   blog-header.php'); ?>
 * Where “/shortstat/” is the directory in which you have placed ShortStat’s file.

 * Ugh, I wish you could see this. It’s got all the tables but there’s no data in
   them. It’s just not registering visitors.

 * In your ShortStat configuration file, did you change the logging from “false”
   to “true”?

 * You said you tried trackme…but trackme should plant *one* entry to your database.
 * I’ve had problems with shortstat in the past, but I’ve always gotten it up and
   running again.
 * I put my shortstat tracking code in wp-blog-header.php, that worked fine

 * Yeah, there are NO entries.
    And this is what I changed:
 * /******************************************************************************
   
   Tracking toggle
 *  The $shortstat variable turns this stats package on or off. This is used when
   
   updating from a previous version of ShortStat ******************************************************************************/
   $shortstat = true; // False is off ?>

 * Have you actually installed? ShortStat? Are the ShortStat tables in your database?
   What version of ShortStat are you trying to use?
