2.6 deleted all my WordPress Stats!!

  • Can someone please tell me if I did something wrong here? I’ve had the official wordpress stats plugin installed since January, and I’ve loved it. I’m kind of OCD so I enjoy getting detailed info. But I just installed WordPress 2.6 last night, dutifully disabling all my plugins like it told me to…I then reactivated everything, checked the stats…and it had reset me! Everything was at zero!

    I realize this may seem kind of petty and it doesn’t actually harm anything…but why did this happen? Did I do something wrong? Have other people had this problem?

  • I having the same problem too
    Is it because of the theme ?

    @monst3r

    Not really. There’s a way to merge now, but now I have 3 different options in the menu ??

    What happened: your blog re-registered at WordPress.com with something different about it (maybe the path?), causing the duplicate entry to be added to your WordPress.com account.

    That is only a guess because none of you have provided your blog URL, which I need in order to find your records in the database.

    You may fix it by deleting your stats options:

    DELETE FROM wp_options WHERE option_name = ‘stats_options’

    and then installing and activating the newest version of Stats. In 1.3 I added an option to let you associate your blog with a pre-existing record in the WordPress.com database.

    Alternatively, if you are comfortable editing a serialized PHP array you can manually correct the blog_id in your stats_options. The correct blog_id can be found in the URL of the global dashboard page where you view your stats.

    I deleted a wordpress.com blog digitalhomes.wordpress.com and I also removed access to my self hosted blog https://www.ranchocordovapost.com and I also removed stats from citylif.com.

    Now my self hosted blog will not associate with it’s original stats for https://www.ranchocordovapost.com. I’ve tried deactivating and reactivating the plugin and adding back the API key from my wordpress.com account. When asked to enter api key and replace an existing blog I only have the option for https://www.ranchocordovapost.com and when I select that I get stats for citylif.com.

    Where can I fix this?

    I think I saw this briefly on one of my blogs after updating to wp27. But now can’t find it as I am trying to combine stats from

    https://halfwaytoconcord.com (on host)

    with

    https://www.worldviewpr.com/h2c/ (bluehost)

    on same API

    but cannot find the right way to snap my wand to reveal that little “combine” dialog box.

    what is the path to access that option, please?

    @worldview

    If you deactivate the wp stats plugin and reactivate it should ask for your api key and them offer you the option to combine or start new

    I’ve tried the deactivation-reactivation trick. It offers two options: replace or add. So far, I’ve only added. I’m afraid that replacing means deleting records. Is that so?

    Again, how can I COMBINE?

    COMBINE is not available. That would mean summarizing two blogs into one and we don’t offer that.

    REPLACE is what you want, cannolo. It doesn’t delete anything. It just makes your current blog replace the old one as the owner of the records.

    Tried “replace.” I have new stats in one view, and old stats in a second view. How disappointing. This wouldn’t matter so much if there were some way to export the old data.
