Ditto. My blog is about my 2-yr-old son, and is for family and friends. Everyone must register to post, so having only anon users’ stats isn’t very useful. I would think this would be a trivial change, so I’ll see if my limited programming skillz are up to it. If I figure it out, I’ll post a solution here.
Thanks
OK I think I found it. Go to line 85 in stats.php (I’m using CuteFTP, other editors may differ on line numbering). It should look like this:
if ( !empty($current_user->ID) || empty($options[‘blog_id’]) )
Remove the ! before empty, so it looks like this:
if ( empty($current_user->ID) || empty($options[‘blog_id’]) )
So far it seems to be working. Let me know if it works for you.
This way you only count the registered users, if you change this line:
if ( !empty($current_user->ID) || empty($options[‘blog_id’]) )
for this one:
if ( empty($options[‘blog_id’]) )
it counts everything.
Greets,

Thanks, JBrinx, that makes more sense, and works for me.
Thanks for this thread. And thanks for the code change, JBrinx. Made those changes now and am super-happy with the stats now, as my site is mainly for registered users.
One little issue I was wondering if anyone had a solution for…
Does anyone know how to exclude administrator page views from the stats? We’ve got 2 site admins and I notice that when I’m adding new content, it includes any of my page views. Since I’m using WordPress as a CMS, I’d prefer it not show my own page views to give a more accurate representation of the site traffic.
Thanks in advance for any help offered.
I’m running a couple of invitation-only blogs using the “members only” plugin so all my visitors are logged in.
I could fiddle the code as suggested above but won’t that get washed out every time a new version of the stats plugin is updated?
I see that the “Google Analyticator” plugin has an option not to count administrators. (actually it tracks by “level” admin being 10, I don’t know what the other levels are).
Here’s a plea to the designers of stats plugin to add similar functionality.
@ podictionary…
Yes, the code change above will get wiped out on updates, I had to hunt this thread again because I got a notice that there’s an update to the plugin and I like to stay current. I second your (and NerdSpawn’s) plea about the plugin not counting admin users. I’m sure someone out there knows how to do this — it’s surely trivial, so please, someone, jump in!
