 * Hi there,
 * in the moment i use WP Statistics to avoid Google Analystics. But since they 
   are updated the Version to 13.X a lot of errors and problems are starting. i.
   E. Database crash etc. the developers are not able since a couple of month to
   fix the problems and i use the last stable version 12.6.13.
 * Now i’m looking for another Statistics Plug In and found yours. I have some questions:
   
   1) Do you also offer a Front End Counter for the Visitors of the Website? You
   can take a look into my websitde to see what i mean, it is in the right sidebar.
 * 2) How long are the datas are stored? I present on a yearly base the most readed
   Articles as a review of the year. Can i filter the Stats for this period?
 * Basically for me i don’t need a full takeover from the database, it would be 
   enough, if the Visitor details which are shown in the Front End counter for the
   lifetime period of the website could get taken over in some way. So that i.E.
   the Frontend Counter shows the same as it shows now. The rest will be ok if not.
   Iif you have one counter, of not which one would you recommend?)
 * But have another question, is it possible to clear the database from time to 
   time, so that the database will not blow up to endless entrys? i.E. delete all
   entrys which are older then 1 year or 400 days or something like that? Without
   deleting the lifetime statistics of hits etc.
 * Thanks for some short replys in advance!`

 * Hi leogc, sorry for the late reply. Here are my answers:
 * 1) There is no front end counter, yet. But I can add a solution via WordPress
   shortcodes in one of the next versions of this plugin (just let me know if you
   or anybody else are still interested).
 * 2) The data storage time can be set in the settings. This is only limited by 
   the database storage.
 * There are two versions of data in this plugin: the detailed visitor flow and 
   more simple counters of views per page and date. The visitor flow data is removed
   automatically regarding to your settings (e.g. after 30 days). The counters are
   stored infinitely until you reset the counters or uninstall this plugin.
 * You can filter all data by time periods (start and end date).
 * There is no data import from WP Statistics or any other plugin, sorry.
 * Best regards
    Onno

 * Hi [@friese](https://wordpress.org/support/users/friese/) !
 * Thanks for the informations. A counter for the Front End would be a great feature
   via Shortcode. An then it sould be possible to give the Counter a startvalue 
   about how many vitors the page had until the installation of the plug in. YOu
   can let me know, as soon this is implemented and i will maybe start a test with
   the plugin 🙂
