WordPress.com stats not working properly

I put wordpress.com stats on my self hosted blog and my wordpress.com blogs. On my self hosted blog traffic stats are not coming in. I know that people are coming to the site because of comments,subscribers and emails regarding the site. Still it says no page views. If I click to check my other blogs (the wordpress.com ones) the stats up come. I believe I have entered the correct api keys but still nothing.

any ideas?

Make sure your theme calls the wp_footer() function right before the ending body tag. Otherwise, the tracking code isn’t rendered on your site.

ex.
```
<?php wp_footer(); ?>
</body>
</html>
```

I’m trying to activate WP stats and I have API key, but it shows me 404 after API key entering :o(
I have the latest WP 2.5.1.

I have been having this same problem for about a week. I have just gone in and adjusted the permissions on the file to ensure that it was owned by the correct user. Still I am not getting any hits logged. Other sites I have had setup previously seem to be fine. Don’t know what to do next ?

I can also confirm the plugin is not working. Google Analytics is showing traffic, WPStats is not. I did check the footer code of my template and the wp_footer() call is present.

Ideas?

I am running 2.5.1, and I have the same issue as above. The stats do not show up, and the tracking code is not being rendered. Google analytics works, but not the stats plugin.

I too am running 2.5.1 and also am having the same problems as the majority above…. It was working fine until I restarted my blog and when I reinstalled it just stopped working.
