  WordPress has change the appeareance of the stats page. I don’t like it. At all.
  Until yesterday I could choose to view the old page instead, now I can’t.
  I want to know if there is any way I can keep using that old page.
  PS: The new page is minuscule, has no information and I really don’t like the appearence. Gives no link to the post ot the blog at all. Nothing. Is completely useless.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there. You’re a bit late to the party. The big debate on this was back in February ;-)

  Unfortunately there’s no way to set a preference for the classic stats page, and in fact staff has indicated that at some point in the future the old page will be scrapped. Personally, I’m hoping that won’t happen as I prefer the old page too.

  If the link to switch to the old page is no longer visible on the new one, you have to visit it manually by going to the WP-Admin dashboard and clicking “View All” in the stats module. You can also bookmark this link to your blog’s classic stats page: https://wordpress.com/my-stats/ (that link will go to the stats page for your primary blog if you have more than one blog) or https://casaenlatada.wordpress.com/wp-admin/index.php?page=stats (for the really old stats page)

  Another user has written a user script you can install in your browser that will take you to the old stats page instead when you click on My Sites. You can see his instructions on installing that here: https://tpenguinltg.wordpress.com/2015/03/16/more-hacks-to-the-new-wordpress-com-stats-page/

  Oh, thank you so much. I can see it perfectly now.
  I will try to install the user script you suggested.
  Again: ¡Muchas gracias! :)

  If the old Stats page is not made available, soon, I will find another forum for my pages.
  I did not expect to see such a “CRAM IT down their throats” attitude in a web provider.

  If the old Stats page is not made available, soon,

  It is available. I provided a direct link to the old stats page above, along with a link to a workaround that will effectively make it your default so you never have to see the new one. You did read the rest of this thread before posting, didn’t you?

  If you’re not willing to use those workarounds, then moving is your only other option, as staff have made it clear in numerous threads over the past six months that the new interface is here to stay and neither complaints nor threats to leave the platform are going to change that.
