OK, so this is weird, I am getting it to work again (for now). Before, I would get the login loop- the login screen instead of my stats in the little window on my dashboard page, and then if I went to the stats dashboard, just the login prompt, and it wouldn’t take my login.

I was trying to login with my username and password as the blog owner; that is, the login I use to get to my dashboard to begin with (my blog is self-hosted).

I tried using my wordpress.com login info, the account I created to get the API key, and that worked just fine. I still see the login window in the dashboard area, but if I go to the stats page, I can log in & see my stats.

So, apparently it wants your wordpress.com info, for the account created there and linked to the blog by the API. This makes sense *now* of course, but I didn’t see it before. Also, I am still a bit puzzled as to why it won’t just stay logged in, being intermittently logged in and out. I think if you could use the same username and password for both, it would keep working, but that wasn’t possible for me, the username I chose for my blog was already taken for wordpress.com.

Anyway, maybe someone else is caught in the same loop & didn’t try this yet-

OK, so I checked and the plugin was activated, with the API key set up, etc. But, just for kicks, I de-activated it and then re-activated it, entered the key, & it works again, showing stats back about a month.

This is how it went the last time, too, just un-doing & re-doing it, and then it would work for a while. So, I want to believe it’s fixed, but I think there’s probably still something wrong.

I don’t have a caching or re-direction plugin, by the way. Thanks for everyone’s help, I guess we’ll wait and see.

Mine’s not working, either. When I first installed it, about a month ago, it worked for a few days. Then, it stopped working, showing a log-in prompt where the stats should be, but never allowing login, just a loop.

I deactivated it, downloaded & installed the newest version, added the code to the footer, and it worked again for a week or so. Now, it is back to broken again, although nothing has changed except for normal posting. It was working this morning, just a few hours ago, and now, the login loop error. Nothing has changed in those few hours except this. Weird.

One thing which I don’t know enough about to know if it’s the problem, is that the footer code mentioned is visible when I FTP to look at my footer file, but it isn’t showing when I do a “view-page source” in my browser. I’m not sure if that means anything or not.

Any thoughts would be welcome!

Same here. I installed Stats on Friday, and it worked a couple of days, and now I just get that login loop. Bummer!
