Solving wordpress.com statistic doesn’t work

Yesterday I have a problem with my statistic wordpress plugin (wordpress.com stats), this plugin stop work and so does the statistic report. The statistic won’t log any incoming visitor to my blog, so the statistic always nil everyday. Then I started find out what happen to my blog.

The normal condition if you install wordpress.com stat plugin, you will find the javascript tracking from this plugin shown in the footer of your blog when you view the page source. But I can’t find it.

Then I go to  footer.php file in theme editor that my blog used, the blog call the wordpress.com stat tracking script with a function wp_footer(). If there’s no wp_footer on your themes, this plugin won’t run! You need to insert this function to the footer<?php wp_footer()?> before the </body> tag and everything will be fixed.
