This is the first stable release, be aware that it may have bugs in it and could cause a
loss of data.
We try really hard to remove all major bugs for a beta release but it is possible
that there could be errors.
BACKUP ALL DATA BEFORE INSTALLING THIS SOFTWARE.
Be sure you read the LGPL license :)
That being said this software has worked well for multiple people and should be simple to install.
You will need to upload the stattraq.php plugin file found in the wp-content/plugins
directory of the zip compressed file to the corresponding wordpress directory
on your server (%WORDPRESS PATH%/wp-contents/plugins/).
You will need to copy the wp-stattraq directory, files and subdirectories to the server as such:
%WORDPRESS PATH%/wp-stattraq/
%WORDPRESS PATH%/wp-stattraq/styles/
%WORDPRESS PATH%/wp-stattraq/reporter/
%WORDPRESS PATH%/wp-stattraq/images/
You will then need to activate the plugin from the WordPress administration plugins page. After activation has taken place it is recommended that you wait several hours to let data accumulate in your database so that you will have actual statistics. Requests for data that is for a greater time period than your StatTraq installation has been running will most likely return no results. For example if you request a year's timeframe then you will not see more data than has been collected. After one month ends you will start getting data for the next month at which point the year's statistics will cover the overview of the two or more months.

If you have previously installed a beta you will need to replace (overwrite) the files from this zip file into their corresponding directories.
If you are upgrading from Beta a you will not need to run the upgrade script. Otherwise, if you're upgrading from an older machine You will need to run the stattraq-install.php file a second time and choose the upgrade option.

The statistics can be accessed by using a URL similar to the following:
%WORDPRESS PATH%/wp-stattraq/index.php
StatTraq uses the WordPress authentication code so if you've got an existing
cookie set from wp-admin you will not need to login, otherwise you'll need
to login using your WordPress login and password.
If you want to display the number of hits for a time period a function has been included in the stattraq.php plugin file [which means that the plugin must be activated to work] that allows you to get the number of hits for the current time period:
getVisitorCount('year')getVisitorCount('month')getVisitorCount('day')getVisitorCount('hour')
Suggested Usage:
Visitors Today: <?=getVisitorCount('day')?>
Any bugs or feature suggestions can be sent to funzoneblog@yahoo.com or reported on the web site. However, the author does not offer free support for questions regarding HTML. If you implement any code you do so at your own risk.
