My WordPress stats in my dashboard have gone idle not receiving hits for months. This has happened ever since I upgrade my wordpress to version 2.5 and above.
The solution is extremely easy. Just put
<?php wp_footer(); ?>
at somewhere in the end of your footer.php file. Just to make sure you get the picture right, you can put it just before the </body> tag.
<?php wp_footer(); ?>
</body>
</html>
