When I go to ‘Statistics’ > ‘Optimization’ I don’t see “Purging” but I see: Overview & InfoData ExportData CleanupPlugin MaintenanceHistorical DataI can see the overview info fine and it shows the amount of PHP memory being used, etc. When I click the other items, nothing happens. Are those premium features? If so, I’ll try the table deletion again and I’ll verify everything got deleted as expected. * Thanks! * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WP Statistics – Simple, privacy-friendly Google Analytics alternative] Question about old data](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/question-about-old-data/) * Thread Starter [tomdkat](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tomdkat/) * (@tomdkat) * [1 day, 6 hours ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/question-about-old-data/#post-18906477) * Hi! Thanks for the great response!!!! So, if I use the “Purging” section to purge the data, should I expect all of the counts to reset to 0? I do use a caching plugin (WP Fastest Cache) but I believe I emptied the cache after removing the plugin, such that when I re-installed it, it would install correctly (not having cached data interfering).

So, when I try to update from the WordPress update page, the update doesn’t work. However, I just went to the plugins page and used the“ Update now” link and the update worked. The ONLY thing I can think of is I had the site in “maintenance mode”, using the “Maintenance” plugin. I took the site out of maintenance mode before doing the upgrade. * Anyway, I’m upgraded now so I’m happy. * Thanks! * Peace… * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Maintenance] Background image doesn’t appear in Maintenance mode](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/background-image-doesnt-appear-in-maintenance-mode/) * Thread Starter [tomdkat](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tomdkat/) * (@tomdkat) * [5 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/background-image-doesnt-appear-in-maintenance-mode/#post-13806061) * [@528491-1](https://wordpress.org/support/users/528491-1/) Thanks again for the“ lazy loading” tip.

That’s really good to know!
