Thanks to Michael Tyson I’m releasing a new version of the wordpress.com Stats Helper plugin. It fixes some display problems (especially evident since wp 2.6.2) and introduces some more options to the widgets, including the ability to hide the shameless promotion link

Well done, Mr. Mike Tyson!

Update:

Up goes 0.5.5.1, with a small fix for options handling. Wordpress.org/extend takes a while to update, if you’re in hurry to test the new version you can use the SVN!

Updated (again):

Version 0.5.5.2 adds a default to $options['show'] (was causing a lot of grief among users).

I updated the Stats Helper Plugin to version 0.5.4. It comes with two fixes:

• Post titles and permalink/URL is read from the local Wordpress database instead of using those reported by stats.wordpress.com (lately it’s been acting very strange).
• Expired elements from the option-based cache are removed at each save (a cache too much was causing crashes on some installations).

I strongly recommend you update to this version!

UPDATE: Also removed some passing by reference in foreach, that was unsupported in PHP4 too.
UPDATE: Due to recent complaints I removed the try...catch block and now the plugin is PHP4-safe again.
Following a suggestion from Alex, I’ve updated the wordpress.com stats helper plugin to version 0.5. The main change is that you can filter items by type in most visited list.

The new version also comes with a new template function for most visited posts, using a more flexible argument passing method (via an array).

I’ve been waiting for the wordpress.org/extend hosting to be activated before posting updates to the Stats Helper Plugin. So here goes!

Version 0.4 brings:

• Possibility to specify a timeframe for the stats
• Possibility to retrieve views for a specific post/page (by id)
• (Hopefully) better usage documentation

Get it at: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpresscom-stats-helper/!

Yesterday the stats helper plugin hosting was activated on wordpress.org: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpresscom-stats-helper/. From now on all updates will be available there.
