Title: Slim Stats Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # Slim Stats * Resolved [jaco223](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jaco223/) * (@jaco223) * [15 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/slim-stats/) * Hello * I’m having trouble with slim stats. It has recorded more than 400 hits for the day. This is impossible. It is also tracking my movement and pagviews which I don’t want it to do. Can anyone offer any help. I’m having so much trouble with my blog as i feel someone has compromised my blog. I feel like calling my web host and deleting the whole thing.

My plugin does not track your visits when you browse the admin panels. Are you sure those visits are not coming from some search engine or from your own IP address? If you want, please post a screenshot on my support forum at [http://lab.duechiacchiere.it/](http://lab.duechiacchiere.it/) so that I can take a look at your issue. * Camu * Thread Starter [jaco223](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jaco223/) * (@jaco223) * [15 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/slim-stats/#post-1722836) * Camu * Thanks for your reply ….I don’t understand how can it track my IP? Does slim stat track my movement if I’m looking through my posts on my frontpage? I will try to get a screen shot to you. I’m sure I don’t have 400 hits. I’m using Woopra and it doesn’t show any number close to slimstat. I like slimstat as it is very in depth. * [Jason Crouse](https://wordpress.org/support/users/coolmann/) * (@coolmann) * [15 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/slim-stats/#post-1722838) * Yes, it does. You can filter one or more IP addresses under Settings > SlimStat > Filters. Or tell the plugin to ignore visits generated by logged in users ( admin) wherever you are browsing your site from. * Thread Starter [jaco223](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jaco223/) * (@jaco223) * [15 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/slim-stats/#post-1722858) * Camu * I set it so admin is filtered. It was already set not to track logged in users. What concerns me is ‘Who can view the reports’ If this field is empty, all users( but subscribers) will have access to the reports. * ‘Who can manage these options’ if this field is empty, all users (but subscribers) will have access to the options panel. * Does that mean whoever visits my site can view my stats? I don’t know how to filter my IP as it is dynamic. * Man I’m so confused ….I want to use slimstat. I also use Google Analytics and Woopra ….what I want to do is reset all three to zero and start over. I’m waiting to hear from woopra support because it is also tracking my stats as is GA. Is there a way to zero out GA?

As for logged in I don’t quite follow you. I have wp admin bar installed. Is that visible to visitors? what about those who have blogs at wp .com? could they use the admin bar to login? * Thanks Mac …I’m getting closer to getting my blog straightened out and am learning much along the way thanks to you and Camu and Samuel 🙂 * Thread Starter [jaco223](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jaco223/) * (@jaco223) * [15 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/slim-stats/#post-1722869) * Mac * I’m using Disqus but logging in to comment is optional. So I’ve disabled tracking of logged in users.

They would have to manually promoted by you to a higher role in order to view your stats. * > As for logged in I don’t quite follow you. * If you required your visitors to register and login to comment (an ufortunately common and annoying anti-spam practice, just my opinion), they would of course have to login to comment. Therefore, any visitor wishing to comment on your blog would be logged in and untracked. * > I have wp admin bar installed. Is that visible to visitors? * It’s only visible to logged in users with the Administrator role. * > what about those who have blogs at wp .com? could they use the admin bar to > login? * WordPress.com and your self-hosted WordPress blog are entirely separate. * Moderator [James Huff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) * (@macmanx) * [15 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/slim-stats/#post-1722872) * > I’m using Disqus but logging in to comment is optional. * That’s entirely separate of the feature I was referring to. Since the users are logged in with Disqus and not your blog, you can safely set “Track users” to “ No” and it will only filter your activity. * Thread Starter [jaco223](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jaco223/) * (@jaco223) * [15 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/slim-stats/#post-1722879) * Mac * Thanks for all your help. I have everything reset to zero. And I’ll be careful of which plugins I install. I guess one can go kinda crazy installing plugins that aren’t really essential. I’m one of those people 🙂 but I’ll install only what is useful.
