In reply to: [Plugin: WordPress.com Stats] flash stats graph not displayingI have uploaded a new version of the plugin that includes the Flash file. This should eliminate all issues with graphs not appearing due to extra characters. Please download and install from here to test it:

In reply to: [Plugin: WordPress.com Stats] flash stats graph not displayingjrdub, I am sorry you had this trouble and glad you managed to fix the offending file. I’m already working on bypassing this issue in the next version.

In reply to: [Plugin: WordPress.com Stats] flash stats graph not displayingjrdub, 1.4 does not pass the Flash movie through your web server the way 1.5 does. 1.4 works regardless of extra characters. Look for them.

In reply to: [Plugin: WordPress.com Stats] flash stats graph not displayingI tracked down the “movie not loaded” issue for one user. It was caused by extra characters added to a php file by the text editor. In his case it was the Unicode byte-order mark, but any extra characters could cause it.
Most programs are capable of dealing with the Unicode BOM, so some text editors just assume it’s safe to add it. Flash is weak in this regard. So when your wp-config.php (or any PHP file) is saved with the Unicode BOM, your server adds those characters to every page generated by WordPress. The Flash charts in Stats 1.5 are passed through your WordPress server, which adds the extra characters causing the movie not to load.
The solution is to find and remove the offending extra characters. Maybe you need to tell your text editor not to save PHP files as Unicode.

In reply to: [Plugin: WordPress.com Stats] Switch function gone in 1.5 ?The switch function from earlier versions is gone in 1.5 when viewing stats on your blog’s dashboard. If you view stats from any WordPress.com dashboard you can still switch.
This is because the plugin now uses an API key to authenticate with WordPress.com. Earlier versions used an iframe, which meant your browser connected directly to WordPress.com and you had to be logged in to see the stats. As such, we could tell who was looking at the stats and show a list of other blogs belonging to that person. Using the API key, your blog can show stats to any Author or above. Therefore we don’t know who is going to see the report.
If you like the switch function, use http://dashboard.wordpress.com/wp-admin/index.php?page=stats

In reply to: Admin panel messed up and data errors related to http.phpThese plugins are simply relying on a new API available in WordPress, the stuff in http.php. It looks to me like you are seeing the effects of a bug in that new WordPress code or a misconfigured server.
I would try turning off display_errors in your php.ini, or else modify those two lines by putting “@” before the dollar signs, which will suppress errors on those lines.
You could report this bug by creating a ticket on core.trac.wordpress.org.

In reply to: [Plugin: WordPress.com Stats] Stats showing post ID and not titleedpaffjr: Thanks for figuring that out. I will update the plugin to show something more useful that the post ID when an untitled attachment is listed.

In reply to: [Plugin: WordPress.com Stats] what has changed in 1.5gudlyf: Good start! Shouldn’t there be a different cap for managing the stats options? I think the manage_options cap is appropriate there. Also, I can’t take the cap away from editors/authors now that they have it. I would call the cap ‘stats_reports’ and give it to editors and authors.

In reply to: [Plugin: WordPress.com Stats] what has changed in 1.5gudlyf: I briefly considered making a stats role for that purpose. Would you like to try patching the plugin so that it works with Role Manager?
efikim: I like your idea of putting a changelog in the readme so it appears in the plugin’s web page. It’s on my todo list.

In reply to: Problems with wp-stats update to 1.5I would not have released 1.5 if it did not work for every person who tested it. So if it is not working for you, congratulations, your luck has given you some unknown incompatibility. Even though the majority of people in this thread are saying it’s broken, you all are in the minority. It works for most people. For each bug I need one person to give me access to the affected blog so I can debug it. This is pretty standard. I work for Automattic (WordPress.com) so you should be able to trust me with your blog. Send email to my name at automattic.com and we can discuss the details.
