 * I’ve installed WordPress Stats into version 2.5 3 times now and it isn’t working.
   I cannot figure out what I’m doing wrong. I’ve activated it and uploated the 
   stats.php file into my /wp-content/plugins file. I’ve entered my API key as it
   has asked for it. What else is there to do?
 * The plugin is actived but isn’t recognizing visitors. I also have a different
   tracker that is recognizing visitors, so I know people have been to my blog.
 * Can someone help me?

 * how long have you left it installed? It can take some time to gather data.

 * It’s been a week now since the last install. Every day shows “O” for the number
   of visitors.

 * I’m getting the same issue!
    I went into the Design and added the following to
   footer.php file from the wordpress dashboard as follows:
 * <?php wp_footer(); ?>
    <?php do_action(‘wp_footer’); ?>
 * The original footer did not say </body> before or after so I enclosed the section
   within </body> and am still not receiving any stats (although I know many people
   going to it). Whats the issue?
