What's going wrong
Site owners using this visitor counter report that it quietly stops recording visits after WordPress core updates, sometimes just after automatic updates. Some see only text placeholders, others see every counter sitting at zero, and one reports the statistics table emptied out. Several owners on multiple sites say only some installs break, which makes the problem hard to trace. Because the failures are silent, owners often learn about them only when their numbers look wrong. A fix could be a monitor that checks each core release against the counter and alerts owners before or right after updates land.
