 * Hi!
 * I’m using this code to obtain the IDs of the most popular posts in a website:
 *     ```
       if ( function_exists( 'stats_get_csv' ) ) {
                $popular = stats_get_csv( 'postviews', array( 'days' => 5, 'limit' => 25 ) );
                $popular_ids = array();
                foreach ( $popular as $p ) {
                   if ( $p['post_id'] != 0  ) {
                      $popular_ids[] = $p['post_id'];
                   }
                }
                $popular_count = count($popular_ids);
             }
       ```
   
 * The problem is that this line is returning an empty array:
 * **`$popular = stats_get_csv( 'postviews', array( 'days' => 5, 'limit' => 25 ));`**
 * This was working fine until a few days ago. The Jetpack plugin is updated and
   activated and I can see the statistics, do you know what could be happening?
 * Thanks, regards.
