Statistics for number of tags? I’m missing that one, or am I overlooking something?
jack, you are right — I definitely need to add statistics for “total number of tags”.. As mentioned in the email, I will look into adding this feature to the BlogStats plugin just as soon as time allows. Hopefully, within the next couple of days!
Hello Perishable,
Any news on the number of tags option?
Also I found that there is a mismatch between the amount of pages and posts total.
WordPress says that there are 992 posts and 9 pages, while Blogstats says there are 1001 posts, using the poststats() function and the latest version of your plugin.
Any idea how or why this is?
Hi jack, if you are referring to Blogstats functionality on WP 2.5, I haven’t yet tested it. I am working on it, but with my current workload it may be awhile longer before I can get there. As for the issue at hand, it seems that the
poststats()function is combining the total number of pages and posts in WP 2.5? If so, this information will be useful in determining the cause of the discrepancy. Without diving into it right now, I would guess that WP 2.5 changed another parameter in the database. I will look into it as soon as possible..So is it working on 2.5.1 properly now???
Did any one test it???
sam, although I have yet to test it myself, BlogStats should work fine with WordPress 2.5+. The only exception (to my knowledge) is that the total post count combines the total number of posts with the total number of pages (see comment #88). If you can live with that until I find time to update the plugin, everything should work fine.
Good Job for BlogStats PCC Plugin !!
If you want to add a Tags number counter at this plugin, add this on your plugin page :
// total number of tagsfunction tagstats() {global $wpdb;global $numtags;$wp_test = get_bloginfo ('version');if($wp_test >= 2.3) {$numtags = $wpdb->get_var("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM $wpdb->term_taxonomy WHERE taxonomy = 'post_tag'");}if (0 < $numtags) $numtags = number_format($numtags);echo $numtags . ' Tags';}and after, add this on your template :
<?php if (function_exists('tagstats')) { tagstats(); } ?>Look at the bottom of rssparadise for exemple !!
@Godparadise: that is great! I will definitely be implementing that functionality in the next version of Blogstats PCC! Thank you for helping improve the Blogstats plugin by sharing this with us! :)
Cheers,
Jeff
Great plugin! Just wondering though if there’s a bug? When displaying the number of posts, it looks like it includes posts and pages. Is there a way to only have it display the number of posts? Thanks!
@Josh: Yes, you are correct; until I find time for an update, check this comment (and the subsequent comment) for an easy fix.
Ah, I should have read a bit more! Thanks for that, it was an easy fix!
