You’ve got one very large issue here – you’re using $_SESSION. WordPress, by default, doesn’t use session variables. So isset( $_SESSION[‘vsp_user’] ) will always return false because WP isn’t keeping track of things. There are some additional changes you’ll need to make and hooks you’ll need to tie in to in order to enable sessions … Read more
For most commented posts you can use a custom loop in the sidebar for example: <h3>Most Commented Posts</h3> <?php $most_commented = new WP_Query(‘orderby=comment_count&posts_per_page=5’); if($most_commented->have_posts()) : ?> <ul class=”most-commented-posts”> <?php while($most_commented->have_posts()) : $most_commented->the_post(); ?> <li><a href=”https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/38006/<?php the_permalink() ?>” rel=”bookmark” title=”<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>”><?php the_title(); ?> (<?php comments_number(‘0′,’1′,’%’); ?>)</a></li> <?php endwhile; ?> </ul><!– most-commented-posts –> <?php endif; wp_reset_query(); … Read more
It’s possible but requires help from an official WordPress support person (aka “Happiness Engineer”) to do it: As for stats, they can also be moved, but staff have to take care of that. Once you have Jetpack installed on the new WordPress.ORG install, post the relevant URLs in this forum thread and then add the … Read more
This is basic PHP string concatenation echo ‘Total posts: ‘; $published_posts; Should be echo ‘Total posts: ‘ . $published_posts;
A standard WordPress install doesn’t keep track of visits to pages/posts. So without a plugin there’s no way to know which posts/pages are visited most often. As to finding random posts that’s as simple as: $args = array( ‘post_type’ => array( ‘post’, ‘page’, ‘my-custom-post-type’ ) ‘orderby’ => ‘rand’, ); $query = new WP_Query ($args);
It’s likely going to be in your themes single.php file. Perhaps check for a function call to get the number of views, and comment out the code.
This is more of a MySQL question, but I think your design is fine and is unlikely to create any database problems, even for a lot of rows (up to 1,000,000). The reason for this is: Why this is fine Nearly everything you do with this table should be writes, and there will only be … Read more
have played around with the google analytics dashboard plugin, but there doesn’t seem to be any way to achieve what I am after There isn’t, because to use that plugin in the manner you want, you need a different GA account for each author to track each author, and select that account in the plugin … Read more
I hadn’t used this specific solution, but any self-hosted analytics in general should be considered potentially huge resource hog: every async action in WordPress is effectively another WP core load, so if tracking code makes even one additional async request to back-end it effectively doubles the load; stat logging by nature cannot be cached; stat … Read more
The easiest way might be to hide it using CSS. If there’s a class or id unique to the container, add this to your theme’s functions.php: add_action(‘admin_head’, ‘custom_admin_css_ha’); function custom_admin_css_ha() { echo ‘<style> #unique-id-or.unique-class-goes-here { display: none; } </style>’; }
