    I’ve contact Google to know why there is no Palestine in the maps in the « View by country » (because its there API) And they said that there is actually possibility to active this option and that I need to ask WordPress to know WHY they didn’t actived this country in the « View by country »…

    So, why wordpress.com didn’t?

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

    Hi there,

    Our site stats are not meant to be a replacement for Google Analytics, as that is a solution more appropriate to power users. We focus on creating a tool that is easier to parse and understand, and works best for the broad range of users we host on WordPress.com.

    With this in mind, we may not be able to report stats with the granularity that you require. However, while it is not possible to use Google analytics with sites hosted on WordPress.com, you always have the flexibility of using a self-hosted WordPress (also called “.org”) site instead, which would allow you complete freedom over what stats package you choose to integrate.

    I cannot assist you directly, as we only support blogs hosted here at WordPress.com, all issues with the new blog–including the importing of the file–must be taken to the WordPress.org support community:

    For more information on the process of moving your blog to a WordPress.org instance, see:

    http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#moving-to-wordpress-org

    If you’’d like assistance moving your WordPress.com blog to WordPress.org, we also have a service called Guided Transfer that does all the work for you. Check it out to see if it’’s right for you:

    Hope that helps. Please let me know if you have any further questions.

    I just can’t believe that you are asking me to leave… And I am not talking about Google Analitic but about the map tool WordPress giving us on the stats section. Every countries appearing in this map except Palestine. There is a hole in the map where Palestine should be…

    I talked to Google about this because one of your agent told me before that « This map is a google api » and then I should ask Google why Palestine doesn’t appear on this map.

    I did… And Google told me that, yes, Palestine exist in this API but WordPress must activate this country.

    This is where we are now. And I am not talking about « Granularity » nor something extremely particular… I am talking about the « HOW COME » WordPress desactivated the Palestine in the map?

    Have I been clear enough?

    I have people from Palestine reading my blog and I also need these stats, as I also need the stats from Israel, whether the 1947 borders or those 2014…

    Two days without any contact, answer. Is this what we call a good support? Should I really buy a premium account… ?

    Not at all, so I apologize if that is how it was taken. I am going to ask our engineering team for some clarification this, and I will update you when I know more.

    Also, please note that I have closed your other recent forum post as it is a duplicate to this one.

    Thanks for your patience. :)

    Following up, regarding showing Palestine on the stats map, I want to first underscore that Automattic is most certainly not taking a stance on any territorial disputes or recognition of statehood, and have not actively tried to hide it on our map.

    The visualization you see is constructed with a third-party charting tool (Google’s Geochart). Their API documentation offers no method of affecting territory borders on our end, but I did note that this issue may be related: https://code.google.com/p/google-visualization-api-issues/issues/detail?id=1099

    However, as a workaround, we have managed do add a marker when Palestine is selected (as opposed to shading in the country — which doesn’t work) as you can see here: https://cloudup.com/ckVHqT9QtRz

    Hope that helps. Please let me know if you have any further questions.
