How do I get JetPack to use the original blog stats?
-
I have moved a WordPress.com blog to a self-hosted installation, and I have installed and configured JetPack for the WordPress.com stats, but when I did this, instead of using the original stats data, now there is a new item in the blog selector that has all new stats starting at 0.
How do I get JetPack to use the original blog stats that have over 10K views instead of this new one that has 0 views (actually its up to about 40 now)?

Hi there,
I’m afraid it’s not really possible to merge stats at this time.
Feel free to drop us a line if we can be of any further assistance.

That is fine, I don’t really care to even keep the new blog stats, I just want to use the blog stats that already exist. They don’t have to be merged.
I am a WordPress developer, so I dig underneath the code and look for other ways to make things work the way I want. I can’t see any settings that control this, but I can see in the database some settings that relate to this, in the jetpack_options and stats_options, which has the same id as the blog selector on the My Stats page, and some other information. If I change this, then the original stats show up in the dashboard, but it does not track visitors. Two of the settings in the database relate to the blog_token and user_token, which I figure might need to be updated as well to authorize tracking, but I can’t find those pieces of information. Any idea where I could find this information?
Any other ideas on how I can get JetPack to use the original blog stats instead?

No, there’s really no way to do that.
There is a small possibility that the old stats may be available to view via the drop-down menu near the top-right at http://wordpress.com/my-stats/
-
Yes the old stats are still there. Of course that’s not the answer I wanted, so I can’t help but try some more. Is there no way to find out what those tokens should be set to? Or a way to have the tokens reset and emailed or something? Anything?
I would think that something could be done to get the stats back since it seems that something similar happened to some people when they upgrade from the old WordPress.com Stats Plugin.
-
No, the stats for the old WordPress.com Stats Plugin are stored in a separate fashion than the Jetpack plugin.
