FAQ
-
Error: The widget does not find any entries
-
Statify has not added statistics yet. Wait some days to collect some statistics by Statify.
-
Show pages and posts together
-
Yes! Since 1.1.4 that works.
Just in the content type widget: select Pages and posts. He then displays the default content types “post” and “page” together.
-
Show views in pages and posts
-
This is possible with shortcodes. Specifying a prefix and suffix is not mandatory:
Properties:
days
= Amount of daysprefix
= Text before the view countsuffix
= Text after the view count
Shortcode:
[statify-count prefix ="Total" suffix ="calls." days="8"]
The total view counter for the whole webpage:
[statify-count-sum prefix="Total" suffix="calls."]
-
I do not have static page as homepage
-
No problem. A pseudo “Frontpage” (with views) entry appears.
-
I changed the permalink structure
-
This changes nothing. The plugin takes every Statify entry and adds it together.
-
Change design (CSS)
-
Just use these CSS classes:
* List:.statify-widget-list {...}
* List item:.statify-widget-element {...}
* List item view counter:.statify-widget-element span {...}
* List item link:.statify-widget-link {...}
-
Change list from numeric to points
-
If you want to change the list of contents (1st, 2nd, 3rd, …) to bullets, just add the following to your CSS:
.statify-widget-element { list-style-type: circle; }
-
ADVANCED: Change Widget Template
-
Since 1.3.8 it is possible to customize the Widget Template by adding code to your Template
functions.php
. You can use the WP Post Object in the template.There exists two hooks:
statify_widget_before_link
statify_widget_after_link
For Example add thumbnail before link in a div:
function statify_custom_template($post) { echo '<div class="post_thumbnail">'. get_the_post_thumbnail($post->ID, 'thumb') .'</div>'; } add_action('statify_widget_before_link', 'statify_custom_template');
-
ADVANCED: Return all posts as WP Query
-
For example put this in your theme:
<?php if(function_exists('statify_popular_posts')) { $wp_query = statify_popular_posts( $amount = 5, $days = 30, $post_type = 'post', $post_category = 0 ); // Make WP Post loop... while ( $wp_query->have_posts() ) { $ wp_query->the_post(); } } ?>
Properties
$days
= Range of days for statictics (0 = all days)$amount
= Amount of posts$post_type
= Post type (“post”, “page”, …)$post_category
= Category of the post, if post type is choosen
