 * === POTENTIAL FIX ===
    Hi all, I found a simple workaround that worked for me.
 * What seems to happen is that the plugin periodically decides there’s a problem
   with the MaxMind data and deletes the entire geo file (maxmind.mmdb). From then
   on there’s no geo reference, so all the data comes back empty.
 * Every time I re-uploaded the maxmind.mmdb file, it got deleted within a short
   time by the plugin.
 * To fix this, I uploaded the Maxmind file again as per the plugin instructions
   and then made the folder “wp-content/uploads/wp-slimstat” not-writeable (permissions
   octal 505). This stops the plugin from deleting the geo file, and hopefully it
   won’t cause new problems.
 * So far so good. Hopefully it will work for you too.

 * Update – you’ll also have to do a search and replace in the DB because inevitably
   there will be some places where the old path was written by functions or plugins.
   Going through all my sites. It’s gonna be a long night.
