  Hi, I accidentally marked FB and Twitter as spam referrers. Can you please undo it for me? I can’t figure out how to do it myself.

  Many thanks

  Hi Eleni,

  There is no way to Undo it if the links still appear you can just navigate there and mark them as “Not Spam” the same way you did to mark them as Spam. Also, if you did mark it spam by mistake, they will appear on the Stats page. To learn more about it read here:

  Jetpack Stats

  Hope this helps, let me know for any further questions.

  Thanks!

  Hi whatilearnedbeforeiturn30,

  According to: https://en.support.wordpress.com/stats/#marking-spam-referrers

  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.

  I just added the ‘modlook’ tag so that Staff will take a look.

  Cheers

  Thank you guys. I understand I cannot undo it myself. But is there no way they can re-appear? Is the change permanent or can staff at WordPress do this for me?

  Hi there,

  Facebook and Twitter should appear in your referrer stats again now.

  I, too, have done the same to my site (Pinterest & Twitter):

  connectedschoolcounselor.com

  Would someone please unblock these, please? Thank you!

  Hi judisigler,

  I, too, have done the same to my site (Pinterest & Twitter):

  Only Pinterest was marked as a spam referrer so I have unblocked that site for you — it should now appear in your stats.

  Hi JP,

  There are 4 sites that have been marked as spam within the last 2 hours. I’ve removed them from your spam referrers list.

  I hope this helps.
