WordPress 2.7 “Coltrane”

Jazzy! Simple Tags plugin not working anymore:

Simple Tags can’t work with this WordPress version ! You must use Simple Tagging Plugin for it to work.

New feature: Akismet Stats

Vlad — Fri, 17 Oct 2008 08:02:05 +0000

Over the last days a couple of new versions for the Akismet Worpress plugin were released. And they (silently) bring a new feature: your very own Akismet Stats page, located under the Dashboard main tab:

So far you can get:

an overview of spam/ham/accuracy, with monthly sum-ups
graphs showing spam/ham/missed spam/false positives in time
a “yummy pie” comparing spam and ham
a apology for vegetarians

What the heck is ham doing on my blog? I’m a vegetarian.[...]

Also, we’re sorry about the vegetarian thing.

Nice!
One more thing (which they omitted): you can check out the stats page manually by replacing api_key and blog_url in the following url with the proper values:

http://api_key.web.akismet.com/1.0/user-stats.php?blog=blog_url

(just make sure you keep your API key secret!).

SVN logs show it’s Matt who’s been pushing the update. It must be the cakes!

wp.com Stats Helper Plugin 0.5.5

Vlad — Sun, 05 Oct 2008 11:35:38 +0000

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).

Stats Helper Plugin 0.5.4 – Fixes for Post Title, URL, cache

Vlad — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 18:25:48 +0000

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!

Stats Helper Plugin 0.5: Filtering by type (post/page)

Vlad — Sat, 03 May 2008 13:28:25 +0000

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).

Stats Helper Plugin 0.4: Timeframe selection, Post/Page views

Vlad — Thu, 03 Apr 2008 13:10:48 +0000

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/!

WordPress Stats Helper Plugin 0.3, Blog Visits

Vlad — Sun, 09 Mar 2008 16:16:23 +0000

On Caroline‘s suggestion I updated the Stats Helper Plugin so that you can display the number of blog visits since stats where enabled.

Enjoy!
