    Hello! I accidentally marked ‘Instagram’ as spam under referrers on my stats page. I can’t figure out how to un-do it, and would like it un-marked since it helps me track where people are accessing my website from.
    Thank you for your help!!

    Good afternoon!
    I am sorry you are having this difficulty. If you see that you made the mistake right away, you can simply uncheck the box. Once you leave the STATS zone that becomes a permanent thing and cannot be undone. This is mentioned about halfway down the nifty support article found here:
    https://en.support.wordpress.com/stats/
    and the part that seems to apply is quoted below ->

    When you click the ellipsis, a red Spam flag will appear. If you click the flag, the referrer link will go into your personal spam referrer block list and won’t show up in the future.

    If you change your mind right away, you can click the Not Spam link that appears where the Spam link was previously. However, once you have navigated away from the stats page, you will not be able to undo the action.

    If you mistakenly mark a site as spam, this will not affect your stats; it will only keep that referrer from appearing on your stats page.

    wish i had better news…

    Hi there,

    I’ve unspammed Instagram from your referrers, so you should start seeing it again soon.
