This plugin helps you retrieve data from wordpress.com stats and put it on your blog.

So far it provides helper functions and widgets to display:

  • Most Visited Posts - lists the most visited posts along with a link to the post and the views count
  • Blog Visits - a counter of blog or post/page visits

Data can be acquired in the following timeframes:

  • All data - all data since you started logging
  • Month - data in the last 30 days
  • Week - data in the last 7 days
  • Day - data collected in 1 day

  • 2008.06.12 - Version 0.5.4, Option cache gets cleared of expired elements on each save (was getting too big and causing crashes). Most visited posts title and permalink are no longer retrieved from stats.wordpress.com since they sometimes return wrong data.

  • 2008.04.03 - Version 0.4, Added possibility to display stats in a given timeframe (day, week, month, all time). Changed visit count to allow per post/page stats. Changed visits widget to automatically detect when to display stats for the whole blog and when for a single post/page.
