Page/post titles lost in dashboard

    Hi!

    Upgraded and migrated today, I notice that the stats dashboard now shows URIs for the pages viewed (/archives/2025/…) instead of the WordPress page/post title.

    This is not dramatic but a bit less nice than before.

    (Also heads-up, the collect endpoint has changed and its query parameters are different now, I had to restart varnish to clear the cached pages calling the endpoint with wrong parameters).

    Thanks for that plugin!

    Hi @colinleroy,

    I’m happy to hear the migration went well for you. It’s not an easy one to pull off.

    The dashboard is now showing URL path’s instead of post titles because the plugin is now capable of tracking all sorts of pages on your site, vs. just things that internally have a post ID. The post ID is still there so we can definitely revert to showing the post title (or add an option for it). We’re just not sure how to deal with the rows for pages without a title (404’s, category archives, search results, …). Thoughts?

    And happy to hear you figured out the Varnish issue. The plugin uses cache busting query parameters, but Varnish has been a real pain to deal with because sometimes it’s configured to ignore those… There isn’t much we can do about that from our side of things.

    No idea yet, but I’ll look into the code and see if something comes to mind!

    Would that seem good to you? https://www.colino.net/tmp/koko_post_title.diff.txt (edit: made a proper pull request)
