When displaying the last update, it goes by the publish date. However, if you published something for a future date, it won’t go by that date when that date arrives, it still goes by the date you initially published (scheduled) it. Any workaround for this?
Thanks!
@Josh: That will take some looking into.. Assuming the time records are distinguishable and accessible, it should be possible. I’ll see what I can do!
Is there a way to exclude a specific category from the total posts count? I tried using
AND post_category != '1'but it didn’t work.Hi, great plugin! Do you have a demo of it on a page somewhere?
Thanks!

Scroll down to the second subheading to see the plugin in action.
Thanks! Looks wonderful..
I have problem displaying categories…
..it shows empty with function blogstats()
..and wordpress 2.9.2
..but in other functions like fullstats() and catstats() it works :)
Hi aimar,
I fixed this and updated the plugin. You may download the new version (2.3.1) using the official download link.
i have wordpress 3.0 and this plug in says i have 35 published post when i only have 18
Hi antonio, I haven’t tested the plugin on recent versions of WordPress, including 3.0, so it’s probably incompatible (at least for that aspect of its functionality). I am thinking that the over-count is due to post drafts, which will need excluded during the next plugin update.
Hello Jeff, (sorry for my english) i exclude one or more categories to “function catstats” ? it’s possibile ?
Hey Fask, send me an email and I’ll try to help. Thanks.
