@dshaykewich - the stats plugin was changed here, but I don't think we messed with any stats-plugins on OpenEd as it's already rich with its own stats complexities. I'm not sure where the disconnect occurred.

Agreed @ehbeattie . This was not the issue we're dealing with now. We do have stats collected up until April 2019, but not afterwards. That's why I think the disabling of the plugin had something to do with the Open site launch and/or Cascadia conference.
