# WordPress.com stats not working properly

 * I put wordpress.com stats on my self hosted blog and my wordpress.com blogs. 
   On my self hosted blog traffic stats are not coming in. I know that people are
   coming to the site because of comments,subscribers and emails regarding the site.
   Still it says no page views. If I click to check my other blogs (the wordpress.
   com ones) the stats up come. I believe I have entered the correct api keys but
   still nothing.
 * any ideas?

 * Make sure your theme calls the `wp_footer()` function right before the ending
   body tag. Otherwise, the tracking code isn’t rendered on your site.
 * ex.
 *     ```
       <?php wp_footer(); ?>
       </body>
       </html>
       ```

 * I’m trying to activate WP stats and I have API key, but it shows me 404 after
   API key entering :o(
    I have the latest WP 2.5.1.

 * I have been having this same problem for about a week. I have just gone in and
   adjusted the permissions on the file to ensure that it was owned by the correct
   user. Still I am not getting any hits logged. Other sites I have had setup previously
   seem to be fine. Don’t know what to do next ?

 * I can also confirm the plugin is not working. Google Analytics is showing traffic,
   WPStats is not. I did check the footer code of my template and the wp_footer()
   call is present.
 * Ideas?

 * I am running 2.5.1, and I have the same issue as above. The stats do not show
   up, and the tracking code is not being rendered. Google analytics works, but 
   not the stats plugin.

 * I too am running 2.5.1 and also am having the same problems as the majority above….
   It was working fine until I restarted my blog and when I reinstalled it just 
   stopped working.

 * I took **splotch’s** advice and fixed my footer. Now the plugin works fine. Thanks
   guys!!
