Google Analytics Plugin

If any of you out there are running the 'Google Analytics for WordPress' plugin, and have upgraded to WordPress 2.6, make sure you also upgrade the plugin. Although it doesn't ask to be upgraded and the upgrade version is the same as the previous, it is changed. For the updated plugin to work, make sure you have <?php wp_footer(); ?> in your theme footer.

I only know of this because I've just discovered my GA hasn't been logging for days.  :( #6 for my plugin pet peeve list: plugin authors who don't update the download in the plugin repository.

    This is one of the reasons why I keep my plugins to a minimum. Quite a hassle to go through all the plugins and updating them especially after upgrading WP.

    Speaking of which, I'm waiting for 2.6.1 to be released before I actually do upgrade mine.  :P From the looks of it, far too many peeps are having trouble with 2.6.  :(

    I just upgraded to 2.6 and it IS very irritating that the authors don't notate that they've updated.
