I think that's most of them... also, on a side note... I was able to clear the old data simply by renaming the awstats022010.myhostname.net.txt file and Updating the stats. It rebuilt the stats just fine. :) Good luck! Matt George,

I'd been looking for "concise" instructions, and yours are great! Thank you for sharing! I'll be adding this to every one of my Wordpress sites from now on! Much appreciated! --matt George,

Its a simple thing to do, but surprisingly hard to find instructions for. I've updated the code in the article to use <pre> tags instead of <code>, and that seems to have thwarted Wordpress' "smart quotes", so the code can be copied and pasted again. Thanks for the catch. @ChrisM – Really glad this helped you out, thanks for leaving a comment. Its a simple thing to do, but surprisingly hard to find instructions for.

Hopefully blindingly obvious to others reading this, but don't forget that wordpress has helpfully converted some of the quotation marks in the code above, so don't go randomly copying text from above, and pasting it into your config files :) Many thanks for the tip – I’d noticed the ‘internal’ pages turning up when I was doing some mass editing (tags etc.), but never got around to figuring out how to purge them.
