I’ve been having some major problems with the site over the past few days. Three nights ago I discovered that all the posts newer than January 15th were being wiped each day1.
The errors started after I updated the Jetpack plugin and while that doesn’t prove anything, I was never happy with Jetpack anyway so I decided to see if Claude.ai was up to the task of rolling a fresh stats plugin and to my surprise and delight: I can now present WP-Milner-Stats, a lightweight post view tracking plugin with day, week, month, year, and multi-year breakdowns. No external services; no bloat; and after disabling Jetpack: no more missing posts.
- this happened twice over two days between 6 and 11pm[↩]
