 * I inserted the shortcodes into page (without the premium version codes) and it
   returns this error:
 * “Fatal error: Cannot access empty property in …/wp-content/plugins/wp-statistics/
   wp-statistics.php on line 429”

 * hi, open the wp-statistics.php and goto **426** line
    replace:
 *     ```
       function wp_statistics_countposts()
       {
       	$count_posts = wp_count_posts('post');
       	return $count_posts->publish;
       }
       ```
   
 * thanks 🙂
