    Hi,
    This is a dumb question but, in order to access my stats via the wordpress.com login, I’ve always used the same username/pw but suddenly it stopped working, so I requested a new password using the username.

    The new password came and I used it and it logged me into wordpress.com but when I used the same combination to access the stats page, they won’t work.

    Am I missing something here? I have a set for my WP Blog, one for the forum and wordpress.com, there can’t be another one can there? I’m already overloaded with combos I can barely keep pace with.

    Where exactly are you unable to log in to view your stats? Is it at WordPress.com or through an externally-hosted blog’s dashboard (i.e. WordPress.org)?

    I discovered the same login issue.

    Here is what I have found.

    When trying to create a new post using the toolbar menu above, it asks me to enter password but it wouldn’t take it no matter what. But I can create a new post using the new menu on the left from the dashboard.

    So there is nothing wrong with my password but there appears to be some issues with the wordpress’s tool bar menu.

    When you try to access the Stats from the Dashboard it distinctly asks you to login to WORDPRESS.COM, not org, not your own blog, but besides this, the password doesn’t work.

    I mean I can login here but not via the dashboard but both are wordpress.com.

    There’s just too much confusion here what with all these different flavors of wordpress. Surely a common entrance needed?

    PS: What is this dashboard.wordpress.com? This is a new one on me! So now I have 4 logins or what?

    It would be really helpful to get some kind of an answer to this as it affects more than just the stats.

    No one can help until you give a link to your blog. Also some more clarification of your question.

    “Where exactly are you unable to log in to view your stats? Is it at WordPress.com or through an externally-hosted blog’s dashboard (i.e. WordPress.org)?”

    @liamini, my suggestion is to contact staff directly on this issue: http://support/wordpress.com/contact/ and provide them with all the details. Too much detail is never enough.

    It’s as I’ve already stated, when trying to access the stats from the Dashboard.

    Thanks for the link to your blog. Looking at it I can see that you are in the wrong forum and need to be over at wordpress.ORG, where the self-hosted software is supported. We can’t help you because our software here is different and our answers won’t apply to you.

    Yeah, I posted my problem originally in that section but was redirected here as it’s a wordpress.com problem. See what I mean about the confusion that reigns and why so few of us actually get answers!

    No volunteers in the forum can help you . You’ll need to contact Support directly.

    I have a similar problem, when I reactivate the WordPress.comStats after upgrading to WordPress 2.7, I’m instructed to enter the API-key again. When I do this (the same API-key as Akismet uses) I get a big fat, red error:

    Error from last API Key attempt:
    parse error. not well formed

    I love this stats-plugin, and I’m almost addicted to it. Can someone help me?
    Thanks!
