I had this plug -in running for a while, but then things started happening, such
as Jetpack Stats stopped working. When this plug-in was updated to 4.7 it caused
a fatal error in WordPress and I had to deactivate it, as soon as I did so Jetpack
Stats working again. I would love to say this plug-in works well, but sadly it doesn’t,
hopefully these issues can be patched. Update, it has been patched and is now working
again.
