 * i am using version 9.5.3 of WP Statistics.
 * i would like to track visitors on my site, i.e. for each ip see what page was
   hit and in what order.
 * i don’t see that anywhere in the FAQ, the manual or the forum. is there an easy
   way to do it?
 * i tried to export the logs so as to try to access the information directly but
   for all tables and all file formats i got no data in the file produced, although
   i have never purged the stats and can still see figures going back a long while
   in the regular interface.
 * thanks in advance for you help.

 * We don’t track user hits to that level, we aggregate all data together for page
   hits so you cannot see which IP addresses hit the page.
 * There’s a bug in the export code for the current release (see [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/corrupted-excel-file-output?replies=5](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/corrupted-excel-file-output?replies=5)
   if you need a fix immediately) which will be resolved in the next release (should
   be this week).

 * thanks for the info – the export code patch works fine.
 * however i don’t understand that privacy issue. tracking an IP through a site 
   would be very useful to identify navigation patterns, and also to understand 
   the behaviour of bullies looking for security gaps.
 * cheers.

 * Navigation patterns maybe useful information, but tracking every visitor’s navigation
   pattern as they browse your site is a huge intrusion on your user’s privacy.
 * We try and avoid tracking users individual behaviours and instead focus on aggregate
   statistics whenever possible.

 * I see no usernames in the db in the wp statistics tables. I understand the need
   for privacy, but would like to know when one of my users logs in and who it was,
   not where they went. It’s not intrusive in a member site.
 * Possible? I really don’t want another plugin when yours seems to do everything
   else we need.
 * thx

 * There’s lots of plugins available to record the last login time, I personally
   use WP Last Login ([https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-last-login/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-last-login/)).
 * It’s outside the scope of WP Statistics to record the login time.
