That really answers nothing concerning the real issue.

ie- Hitting back does not let us enter the CORRECT API key.

We need to know how to delete a wrong API key and enter a new one... Anything else is ahhh elementary (latest version of the WordPress.com Stats plugin) etc.

Thanks and waiting for a response, because I cant use the plugin on a Customers site until this Bug is fixed.

Thanks Again!

I want to change my API Key and followed the steps on http://en.support.wordpress.com/api-keys/ to do so.

The problem is, when I (Step 7) deactivate and activate the WordPress.com Stats plugin (or even when I delete and reinstall it) I do not get a warning so that I can't go to the configuration page where I could change the API Key...
All that happens is that I of course can't follow my stats in my externally-hosted blog’s dashboard anymore ("Your WordPress.com account, .... is not authorized to view the stats of this blog")

Is there another way to change the API Key?

I'd be grateful for any advise thx

For now, you can just press the back button to re-enter the API Key instead of clicking on that link. Also, the documentation about adding another stats user is correct, but you won't see that option unless you are logged in as the stats administrator user. Make sure you're logging in with the right username. If you're not sure which username is the right one, please post your domain and I'll look it up for you.

@nerelevant You should just use the back button for now until the link can be fixed.

@techsavvyblogger There is not a way to delete the account you created to get the API Key. You need to log in as the account used to originally setup stats and go from there.

To summarize, here are the things you should check to make sure you're WordPress.com Stats plugin is working properly:

1. Make sure you are using the latest version of the WordPress.com Stats plugin
2. Check to make sure you are logging in as the stats administrator user
(usually the original username that first setup the stats plugin)
3. Verify that the API Key you are entering matches the stats administrator user

As i pluggin WordPress.com Stats they notify that i need an API Key (from Global wordpress.com). As i registered here, i also clicked (confirm) in the option to have a free blog that offer by wordpress.com.....i dont know if information can help.
So by registration i got the API key that i use it to my website in wordpress.org which again notify me that i use an API key from another ID that belong to wordpress.com and i proceed as it was( i did that because as i was searching in wordpress.org forums, they were posts that says it can work actually).

Last night seems to work without any problem, but today it has again the notify about the API Key and it has a link to fix from the dashboard in wordpress.com which i logged in.
Also i tried to delete the plugin and re-download it again but still i have the same notification....so i deactivate the plugin not to have any further problem with others plugins......

Is there any solution out there?!

Since wordpress.COM is not linked to self-hosted blogs in anyway, there wouldn't be an account created here. This is a stand-alone hosting service.

For support or problems with your self-hosted blog on Bluehost, you will typically need to head over to http://wordpress.ORG/support/ as that is where the self-hosted version is supported.

For support on the blog stats plugin though, that will be handled here, but few of the volunteers here have any experience with it, so you will probably have to go directly to staff support.
