  Getting in late to the discussion of this, but have noticed the oddest stats/”visits” for some time on my blog posts. So this is what’s going on.

  Having been on WP for some time, I just figured it was another quirky thing/update/experiment/ownership adjustment that always seems to happen around Nov-Dec-Jan. Real life was intruding so I was blogging less, so just laughed/ignored it. But the stats are pretty useless now. That’s somewhat annoying .

  Appreciate all those who took time to comment here and offer info on the situation.

  Hopefully the New Year will bring some change. But it is WP ( even though I do pay for a plan, it seems pointless/stupid to pay any more when it’s always been difficult to get attention about problems.) Not sure the WP “engineers” are what they were in the beginning.- WP certainly is very different animal now.

  Just having to roll with is, keep a sense of humor, and ignore some of it – just don;t have time or energy to deal with it .

  Sorry for those who are using WP as a money source.

  Thanks for the heads up Disperser – and your calm sensible repeated efforts to get to the bottom of it.
