   It would be great to be able to specify on the configuration page post IDs that wp-stats should not track. This is a snippet that I added into the stats.php file to ignore a specific page, which I use as a homepage.

   //here is a fun thing to keep the homepage from being tracked
   	if ( $a['post'] == "1565" ){
   	echo ('<p style="text-align:center">not tracked</p>');
   	return;
   }
   //this is the end of the fun thing to keep the homepage from being tracked

   I drop that in around line 110 in stats.php, in the stats_footer function. Works great, but I have to add it in at every update!

   I also needed to exclude the homepage from the get_stats_csv returns, but I needed to avoid editing the original function.

   So I wrote a wrapper function and posted it in the "Hacks" forum at:

   Maybe it might help someone.

   @bransonsparks Can this be used to ignore multiple pages or posts?

   I should think so.
   Try this:
   if ( $a['post'] == "page1" || "page2" || "page3" ){

   etc.

   ...whoops, with the rest of the code from above. I don't know if the plugin code has changed since I posted this nearly a year ago. I know that WPStats runs through Jetpack now.

   I'm not using this hack anymore; I ditched my personal homepage.

   I am still able to show popular posts, based on views, on my website using the old WP stats code. Want to prevent a couple of pages from showing up in that list. Let me see if it works.

   Thanks.
