Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about WP-Stats

Two rows. wp_stats_options holds the stats page URL, the "top X" limit and the display toggles; wp_stats_version records the version last run so an upgrade knows what it is upgrading from. Deleting the plugin from the Plugins screen removes both.

Yes. That row is deleted during the upgrade, and 3.0.0 no longer answers for it. Seven plugins used to share it, which meant none of them could change how it was stored without breaking the other six. Keep your own copy of the setting in your own option row and answer wp_stats_sections — see "For Plugin Authors" above. The Plugins Stats heading has disappeared It only appears now when a plugin has actually contributed a block. Before 3.0.0 it was printed whether or not there was anything under it.

"Authors" now means the users who can publish posts, which is what the block always claimed to count. It used to be derived from the legacy user_level meta, and it excluded anyone with a password reset in progress. My own code renders the stats page and it comes out unstyled The stylesheet loads only where WP-Stats can see the page coming: a [page_stats] shortcode or the block in the post being viewed, or the widget in a sidebar. It is enqueued from the head and nowhere else, so a theme calling WP_Stats_Page::render() itself, or markup fetched over admin-ajax.php into a page carrying none of the three, gets no stylesheet — and the paging strip in the per-commenter view is what that stylesheet is for. Say so from the page that will hold it: add_filter( 'wp_stats_needs_styles', '__return_true' );
