airedge,
Open the plugin with a text editor and follow the "Installation and Use" instructions. Simply include any of the provided
phptags anywhere within thebodyof your pages. That’s all there is to it!Thank you very much perishable!!!
I have made it !

“Long live open-source”
thanks. It’s really easy. :)
Thank you all for the positive feedback — your comments are greatly appreciated and inspire us to continue contributing code and content to the open-source WordPress community. Cheers!
Maybe I don’t get it. I am new to PHP. I am wondering if this is a plugin that I can use only on the ADMIN page and if not, how do I get it to be on one of the pages that I have named STATS?
bulletz,
To add BlogStats PCC functionality to your Admin Dashboard, open the
wp-admin/index.phpfile and locate this code:<div id="zeitgeist">
<h2><?php _e('Latest Activity'); ?></h2>
Immediately after that code, add the following:
<h3><?php _e('Statistical Overview'); ?></h3>
<?php fullstats(); ?>
Upload the
wp-admin/index.phpfile to your server and you should be good to go.Now, to add the same statistical information to the blog itself, simply add this code to the location at which you would like to display your blog’s statistics:
<?php fullstats(); ?>
Finally, please keep in mind that if you open the BlogStats PCC file itself (say, with a simple text editor), you will find there are many ways to customize your statistics.
Cheers!
I was able to put the snippet of code into the wp-admin/index.php page to get stats to appear there, but i still don’t get how to make the stats appear on the blog itself. What file specifically am I looking for if I want to get the stats on the main page of the blog?
Thank!
