Comment on New Plugin: Jetpack by Alex Chapin

We discovered two sites that lost access to historical stats when they updated from WordPress.com Stats plugin to Jetpack. Fortunately, deactivating Jetpack and reactivating WordPress.com Stats resolved the issue on these sites.

As soon as we found out about this, we deactivated Jetpack and sent an email to all owners of sites that use WordPress.com Stats plugin informing them of the issue. So at this point nobody can use Jetpack until we reactivate it.

Since then we have updated a number of sites and have not had any problems. As well, we discovered that the two sites that lost historical stats had unusual configurations. We plan to research the issue a bit more before making Jetpack more widely available.

Hope this makes sense.

I’m just following-up on this (finally). I didn’t see Jetpack in the list of available plugins, so I checked back on your blog post here and noticed the update about Jetpack not allowing access to historical site stats. That pretty much makes it a huge no-go for me, at least until that is fixed (and most others, I’d imagine). Shouldn’t we send out a “don’t install Jetpack if you want to see historic site stats” message at least to Liaisons at least and maybe also LIS Staff?

Hi Alex, I’ve tried both options above and my embed code keeps getting deleted when I click save, both with the widget and on a page (and a post). I’m not toggling between the editors, either. Any advice? Thanks!
