Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Simple Blog Stats
The plugin provides a filter hook for customizing the total number of posts that are displayed using the [sbs_posts] shortcode. To do it, add the following snippet to your theme functions.php file, or add via custom plugin: function sbs_get_posts_limit_custom($limit) { return 100; } add_filter('sbs_get_posts_limit', 'sbs_get_posts_limit_custom'); No changes need made; simply edit the 100 to whatever is desired and done.
By default the [sbs_updated] shortcode includes only posts that have "publish" post status. To customize the post status, add the following code to your theme (or child theme's) functions.php file, or add via custom plugin: function sbs_updated_post_status($status) { return 'publish,draft,pending'; // whatever post statuses } add_filter('sbs_updated_post_status', 'sbs_updated_post_status'); Notice where it says publish,draft,pending, that determines which post statuses are included. You can change/edit as needed.
By default the [sbs_updated] shortcode includes only posts (post type = post). To customize the post type, add the following code to your theme (or child theme's) functions.php file, or add via custom plugin: function sbs_updated_post_type($type) { return array('post', 'book'); // whatever post types } add_filter('sbs_updated_post_type', 'sbs_updated_post_type'); You can edit the return array with whatever post types are required.
Many of the plugin's shortcodes provide an attribute to specify the separator used for numbers (see documentation under the Installation tab). For the shortcodes that do not yet provide an attribute, it is possible to do it with a bit of JavaScript, check out this post.
By default, the plugin formats long numbers with commas. To remove/disable the commas for the [sbs_media_count] shortcode, add the following code to your theme (or child theme) functions.php, or add via custom plugin: function sbs_include_commas($enable) { return false; } add_filter('sbs_include_commas', 'sbs_include_commas'); Save changes and done. Note: currently this works only with the shortcode, [sbs_media_count].
For sites with many many posts and/or posts with LOTS of words. Depending on server capacity, PHP may time out when trying to go through and count everything. As a workaround solution, it's possible to disable the "all word count" shortcode by adding the following code to your theme functions.php, or add via custom plugin: function sbs_word_count_all_disable($disable) { return true; } add_filter('sbs_word_count_all_disable', 'sbs_word_count_all_disable');
By default, the shortcode [sbs_word_count_all] counts words in posts from any/all post types. To customize the post type, add the following code to your theme functions.php, or add via custom plugin: function sbs_word_count_all_post_type($type) { return array('post', 'page', 'movie', 'book'); // whatever post types } add_filter('sbs_word_count_all_post_type', 'sbs_word_count_all_post_type'); You can customize the post types in the array as desired.
