Kathy,

I see the Statcounter and Google Analytics code on your About page, but not on your Home page or Recipes page. I did not check any other pages, but clearly the code is missing on some pages (notably your Home page) and visits to those pages would therefore not be counted. So you probably did not suddenly lose most of your visitors after all! :)
Just add that code back in and you should be OK.

You were right! Statcounter code wasn't on most of my pages and here's why... I used CC's HTML editor to put the code in. I opened a batch of pages, highlighted the </body> and </html> tags, then selected replace. I replaced it with my Statcounter code + </body> and </html>, selected all open pages and then clicked Replace all. I then saved all and closed all. I assumed it did what it was supposed to do. But I reopened the pages and looked again and only one or two actually retained the changes.

To get it to work correctly I repeated the steps above but, before saving and closing, I had to examine each and every page I had open before saving and closing. It's like the change didn't actually "stick" until the page was manually examined. You can imagine how annoying that is when you have to visually inspect all 140+ pages in order for the replace all function to work. I even tried it with smaller batches of 15, 10 and 6 pages and it would still only apply the change to 3 or 4 of the open pages.

Guess I need to find a better html editor for batch edits. :(

If you can replicate this I would open a support topic.:)
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

Nice site Kathleen. We are on our 6th dog. Only thing wrong with them, sadly they don't live long enough.
