New version of BlogStats PCC now available! Check out this post to read the announcement, or simply scroll up to the download portion of this page to grab yourself a fresh copy. The new version is numbered
2.3.0a, and is compatible with all versions of WordPress (1.5 – 2.3).Hi,
I just downloaded your plugin … nice work!!
However, I discovered a bug:
poststats()counts not only posts but pages too. Simply addANDpost_type='post'to the query. I haven’t tested the other functions.Furthermore I would prefer
poststatsto return the number only… thus I may use it more flexible.Again, thanks a lot for the great work!!
Cheers,
jj
JJ,
Yes, thanks for the feedback! A similar issue was resolved awhile ago for the “latest-post” function (
recpost()) using the same trick: addingANDpost_type='post'to the database query (see comments #63-70 for the full story). There are even alternate versions of functions buried in the latest release of the plugin (v0.88) that were used for testing (look forrecpageless()andrec_pageless()). In any case, we appreciate the heads up and thank you for helping to improve the BlogStats PCC plugin ;)Regards,
Jeff
Just downloaded the plugin and installed it on one of my personal blogs, and it’s fantastic! Thanks so much for this. =)
i have tested it ! it’s great ! thank you man !
thank you for the simple and easy to use plugin!
You are most welcome, tnchick — thanks for the feedback :)
Hi,
I am using this plugin to display the entire set.
I copied the code above you mentioned and pasted it on my static page for sitestats in the code section of the edit page.
However, no stats is displayed.
I am using wp 2.2.2
Thanks for any help
Hostorials,
When you say, “code section of the edit page,” are you referring to the WordPress Admin panel found at Manage » Pages » Edit Page? If so, that is the problem — unless you have a plugin that enables WordPress to process PHP in post content, placing the function call in this way will not work. You will need to create a template page for stats and then edit it directly with the same code.
Regards,
Jeff
Jeff…
