I’m answering your question separately in the [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/post-volume-stats/). * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Post Volume Stats] Post Volume Stats: Categories Per Month, Week, Days](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-volume-stats-categories-per-month-week-days/) * Plugin Author [shortdark](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shortdark/) * (@shortdark) * [4 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-volume-stats-categories-per-month-week-days/#post-15700504) * Hi Monica, * Thanks very much for your question and also your review! * I think you’re talking about the line graphs on the Category/Tags/Custom pages. That’s a great idea! I have a blog with posts from 2006 to 2022, so splitting that into days or months would be a lot of data. As it is at the moment, even if you select a year the graph is always the maximum duration split into years. I guess if you select a year you should be able to see the days/months in the graph for just that year. There might have to be some extra options on those pages so you can select whether you want months or days. * Answering the question in your review as well… * Maybe the three time periods (years, months, days of the month) could all be clickable so that you can see the data for that period. That way you could highlight a specific month in a specific year, or just one particular day. Doing this would allow you to see which authors had the most posts during those periods. Ideally, all the time frame charts should be clickable including hours. * With “Weeks” there is the option in the settings to choose which day of the week is the first day of the week (Sunday/Monday) so we could use those preferences to split the data into weeks. With Years/Months/Days-of-the-month it’s quite neat because there is no overlapping, weeks can always overlap between two months or two years. Maybe we can’t have Weeks and Months both clickable, maybe there should be an option so you can choose to have either Months or Weeks shown then whichever one you choose can be clickable. * Have I understood your questions correctly? * These are all great ideas. I can’t promise when but I’ll start looking into these and see if I can make some changes. * Thanks very much, Neil * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Post Volume Stats] show posts over time for all authors](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/show-posts-over-time-for-all-authors/) * Plugin Author [shortdark](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shortdark/) * (@shortdark) * [4 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/show-posts-over-time-for-all-authors/#post-15672824) * Hi BananaMan, * Thanks very much. * On the main plugin page with the different bar/pie charts, you can click on each of the authors’ bars to see that author’s posting patterns. Then, if you want to see all the authors’ posts you should be able to click on that bar again to de-select them and view everyone together. Same with the years, you can select/ deselect each individual year by clicking on the year chart. * Also, while I’m talking about authors… If you only had one author, or you only wanted all the authors together and never wanted to see the separate info you can go to the plugin settings page and there is an option to remove the authors’ bar chart from the main page. This means that all the info you see will be for everyone and you can’t select an individual author. * If this isn’t how the plugin works for you please let me know with the version of WordPress you’re using and as much info as possible. Thanks again. * Neil * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Post Volume Stats] How to add posts-over-time chart to tag pages?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-add-posts-over-time-chart-to-tag-pages/) * Plugin Author [shortdark](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shortdark/) * (@shortdark) * [5 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-add-posts-over-time-chart-to-tag-pages/#post-14179749) * Hi [@parkerboe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/parkerboe/) * Here’s the only way I can think to do that right now. It’s not great, so apologies in advance. * What you’d have to do is select the tags you wanted on the “Tags” page of PVS, then “Export All”. If you want to show one tag per page, you’d just select that one tag. That will make a draft post with the graph on. You should be able to copy/paste that code into each tag page. Maybe there is a plugin that allows you to add HTML into the tag pages!? This will show a graph of the volume of each tag per year. It’s hard-coded so you would have to repeat it whenever you wanted to update the graph. * In theory, I guess it would be better to have a bar chart that could be used as a widget on the tag page and it would automatically update with each post and it would show the tag for the page you were on. I think this is a good idea. I can’t promise anything but I may have a look and see if I can add this functionality for you. * Thanks, Neil * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Post Volume Stats] How to show custom post type stats?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-show-custom-post-type-stats/) * Plugin Author [shortdark](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shortdark/) * (@shortdark) * [6 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-show-custom-post-type-stats/#post-12272247) * Hi Zumich, * If I understand you correctly, all you do is go to the settings. There should be an option to show “custom taxonomy”. When you turn that on, just below it should be a drop-down where you can select one or all custom taxonomy. * When you’ve done this the custom post type should show in the post volume stats menu, and also be on the main pvs page. * I hope this was what you needed. Sorry for the delay in answering. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Post Volume Stats] [Feature Request] Stats for Comments?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/feature-request-stats-for-comments/) * Plugin Author [shortdark](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shortdark/) * (@shortdark) * [7 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/feature-request-stats-for-comments/#post-10968745) * Finally added “comments per post” in version 3.2.02! It will only show approved comments for published posts (not comments that are not approved or awaiting approval). * Sorry it took me so long (: * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Post Volume Stats] [Feature Request] Stats for Comments?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/feature-request-stats-for-comments/) * Plugin Author [shortdark](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shortdark/) * (@shortdark) * [7 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/feature-request-stats-for-comments/#post-10894929) * Hi Johannes, * Quick update. I just updated the plugin to show “images per post”. * I have some time at the moment so I’ll try to add comments within the next week. * Neil * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Post Volume Stats] [Feature Request] Stats for Comments?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/feature-request-stats-for-comments/) * Plugin Author [shortdark](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shortdark/) * (@shortdark) * [8 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/feature-request-stats-for-comments/#post-10244825) * Hi Johannes, * Did you like the days between posts chart? Useful? If you want to change the x-axis on that chart you can do so in the settings. * Comments… good idea. I don’t know when it will be but I’ll put it in the next version! * Thanks, Neil * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Post Volume Stats] Bugs](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bugs-64/) * Plugin Author [shortdark](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shortdark/) * (@shortdark) * [8 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bugs-64/#post-10041874) * Version 3.1.17 seems fairly stable. I think I’ve fixed all the bugs that I was aware of. * On the category/tag/custom pages if no items are selected and you click the button to view the graph it displays an empty graph. There should probably be some client- side validation there to prevent an empty graph being presented. * If you have found any bugs please post them here, or make a new topic in the forum. * Thanks. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Post Volume Stats] Bugs](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bugs-64/) * Plugin Author [shortdark](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shortdark/) * (@shortdark) * [8 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bugs-64/#post-9970523) * Bug on “Days Between Posts” where a user is selected and it only shows the all- time stats will be fixed in the next update. * I’ll sort the date range out and add this bug-fix together with the date range fixes altogether in one update so that I’m not updating the plugin too frequently. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Post Volume Stats] Bugs](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bugs-64/) * Plugin Author [shortdark](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shortdark/) * (@shortdark) * [8 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bugs-64/#post-9967269) * Version 3.1.16… * * Fixed Custom Taxonomy page so that changing year no longer breaks the checkbox list. * Fixed the color issue with the Custom Taxonomy pages. * Fixed export bug with the Custom Taxonomy. * TODO… * * “Date range”! * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Post Volume Stats] [Feature Request] Number of days between blogposts](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/feature-request-number-of-days-between-blogposts/) * Plugin Author [shortdark](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shortdark/) * (@shortdark) * [8 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/feature-request-number-of-days-between-blogposts/#post-9967254) * BTW, I re-worked the “Days Between Posts” in the new version (3.1.16). Also, “ Compare Years” is also added. And “Words Per Post” and “Days Between Posts” are added to the widget. * This is the first bar chart where the “All-time” stats are different to the individual years because the individual years do not consider the previous post if the previous post was last year. * The default maximum interval is 30 days, but you can increase it up to a maximum of 80 days in the settings page. On my test blog, I had an interval of 318 days which was making the “Compare Years” script timeout. * I hope it continues to work for you. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Post Volume Stats] [Feature Request] Number of days between blogposts](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/feature-request-number-of-days-between-blogposts/) * Plugin Author [shortdark](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shortdark/) * (@shortdark) * [8 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/feature-request-number-of-days-between-blogposts/#post-9958806) * No probs 🙂 * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Post Volume Stats] Bugs](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bugs-64/) * Plugin Author [shortdark](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shortdark/) * (@shortdark) * [8 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bugs-64/#post-9958399) * Current bugs… * * Many bugs on “date range” but one is that if you make the end date before the start date you end up with zeros instead of the bar charts. * Date range… make the pie charts and lists work within the date range. * Custom taxonomy page doesn’t refresh when you change the year, you have to reload the page for it to refresh the checklist. * Custom taxonomy… first color is pink (should be red). * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Post Volume Stats] Bugs](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bugs-64/) * Plugin Author [shortdark](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shortdark/) * (@shortdark) * [8 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bugs-64/#post-9956144) * Version 3.1.14… * Changed the wording on “Date Range” and made it an opt-in feature. This part is experimental and only works for the bar charts on the main page (not the pie charts or line graphs). It will probably get rewritten eventually but it is there at the moment for testing purposes.
