Wibstats is a Wordpress plugin that gives each blog in a Wordpress MU uinstallation their own visitor statistics. The data stored includes the page viewed, date and time of visit, visitors browser, operating system and screen resolution, and the geographic location of the visitor (country and city) where it is possible to determine that information.

The plugin uses freely available APIs from several providers to determine the geographic location of the visitor. One of the APIs is chosen randomly for each visit to spread the load across each of the API providers.

A range of graphs and tables are available to users to see the visitors to their blog. Site administrators also have the option to easily view the statistics for any particular blog, as well as for the main site.

The plugin relies on the wp_footer action, normally used in the footer.php file of the theme. Without this action no visitor statistics will be stored. Please check each template available to your end users to ensure they all use the wp_footer action.
