# API Key WordPress.com Stats

 * I installed another plug-in which i had to enter my API key in order to activate.
   It got activated, but now there is a red box all over wordpress saying “WordPress.
   com Stats needs attention: please enter an API key or disable the plugin.”
 * It says that the key “belongs to the WordPress.com account of “yverc”. If this
   is not your account, please re-enter your API key”. Well, the yverc account is
   MY account. How do i get rid of the “WordPress Stats need attention” thing?
 * I already use the API key for the akismet plug-in, so i don’t want to add this
   as “another blog” as it’s the same blog!
 * Plug-in: WordPress.com Stats
    My OS: Windows XP Web hosting: Laughing Squid Browser:
   Firefox
 * Sincerely,
    Yverc

 * I have the same thing happening. Stats has been working well, and suddenly 3 
   days ago it stoped reporting showing 0 visitors for 3 days – unlikely. I disabled
   the plug-in, reactivated it and re-entered the API key posted on my WordPress
   account. It told me it had beeen associated with another blog (the same) and 
   did I want to maintain (meaning I could not activate the plugin) or replace (
   activating the plugin. I chost ereplace because I wanted it to activate. It is
   still not showing any data or look any different. I guess I was expecting to 
   see the 0 visits replaced with true data (activity).
 * Any ideas?

 * ideahaus: Glad to hear I’m not the only one who hasn’t had a single visitor show
   up for three days. I upgraded to WP 2.6.1 and implemented a new theme, and also
   upgraded my Stats plugin. Ever since then, even with my API key entered, it registers
   no visits.
 * I’ve checked my Web server logs and I’ve had three VERY busy days, but no stats
   registered. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 * I’m having same problem here too.
    Installed also Askimet and this plugin. When
   prompted for API key I entered the key I allready have. Seems like only one application
   may run on one API key?

 * I also chose for replace, the site tells me that the plugin is working now, but
   I can’t seem to get statistics out of it, except for old stuff… And I see a link
   coming in to my site… 🙂
