 * Counter stopped workin when my hosting provider updated to PHP version 5.5.
    
   Seems like mysql_query() and most other mysql_*() database functions are not 
   valid anymore in PHP 5.5 and higher.
 * I had to rewrite all mysql_* statements to $wpdb-> statements. Took me a whole
   day to get it to work again …
 * Please remove this plugin from the lists… please?

 * Hey Jack
 * I see you got the plugin working again. Cool!
    Any chance you would want to share
   the updated version of wp-statsmechanic.php?
 * Me no speak PHP 🙁
 * And there are no similar plugins around.
 * Bedankt 🙂

 * Sure, please use the contact form on [this website](http://www.inbraken-essen.be)
   and let me know your email address and what version you are using. I’ll contact
   you for the necessary changes.
    My code is heavily customized so probably won’t
   work on your site.
 * Graag gedaan 😉
