Hi! We’re running WordPress 5.9.9 with the Seriously Simple Podcasting plug in v 3.4.1.
We added Seriously Simple Stats v 1.6.0 – but the stats aren’t showing up anywhere in our backend. Would be grateful for any help, cheers.
hi, just to let you know – my debug drops this;
Deprecated: Creation of dynamic property SeriouslySimpleStats\Classes\Stats::$stats_hit is deprecated in /var/www/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/seriously-simple-stats/php/classes/class-ssp-stats.php on line 201

Hi, i want to show the stats from each episodes in frontend
]]>Hello,
how can i export Stats in Excel?
Kind regards,

]]>The listens for the previous two months, November and December, are now all “0”, which is not correct.
]]>Hi,
would it be possible to add specific informations regarding Spotify, Deezer, SoundCloud and Amazon in addition to iTunes, Pocket Casts, Overcast, etc ?
For now, the “other” category is huge and too unspecific. And besides, there’s also an “unknown” category?!
Thx a lot.
]]>I’m used to seeing some weird jumps in my numbers every now and then, but it’s usually once or twice a month.
This past week stats for all my shows routinely make abrupt jumps to many multiples of the expected listens and those listens are somehow attributed only to older episodes up to and including the month of September.
This has already ruined my next monthly stat report to partners and I hope you understand why that’s an issue.
Also, this plugin’s support threads have been left to their own devices for months people. I get priority for free plugins isn’t a top priority when you have a paid product to deal with but if you can’t bother with having a look for months in a row, then please don’t act like there’s support for the plugin.
We’re seeing some error log messages related to this plugin:
PHP Warning:? Undefined array key “HTTP_USER_AGENT” in /wp-content/plugins/seriously-simple-stats/php/classes/class-ssp-stats-hit.php on line 103
Is this something you plan to fix in a future version?
]]>Hi, I run a podcast where I use Castos Player to upload & showcase the episodes. I also run a blog hosted on the same website and on some posts I embed the Castos Player and select the episodes. I believe most of my visitors come to my blog and don’t click through to the podcast. I’d like to know if the plays on the blogposts count towards my listening stats?
]]>Hi,
I’ve recently found out that there was a problem with the totals between “Daily listens” and “Listening sources” on my dashboard?: on a specific day, when adding the numbers from all the sources on the “Listening sources” graph, it should amount to the same total as in the “Daily listens” graph.
But it’s not the case. The total number in “Daily listens” is always bigger than the one in “Listening sources” when I add them together.
I have a feeling it might be because the “Daily listens” total adds the number of listens made from previous years on the same day. For example, it adds the number of listens from July 16th, 2022 and July 16th, 2023 altogether. I have no proof of that but that’s a hunch.
So for now, I don’t know which total is accurate: the one in “Daily listens” or the one I get when adding all the numbers in “Listening sources”.
Thanks for your help in correcting that.
]]>For more than a month and across multiple updates of the plug-in (I’m on the latest version as we speak) analytics are consistently off. It’s like the plug-in forgot how additions work.
The end result is totals that are lower than the monthly numbers the plug-in itself is reporting.
A few examples of how additions work according to the plug-in.
13 + 35 = 42
19 + 50 = 61
10 + 43 = 50
7 + 39 = 44
16 + 133 = 142
3 + 54 = 56
Plus, when this issue started, I saw all show downloads drop by roughly 20% – 30%, across the board, at the same period, fall.
Had the drop been more show-specific, I’d get it. But it’s hard to believe that, all of a sudden and every day since then, all averages of all shows organically dropped by the same percentage, given how we have shows that cover completely unrelated topics, their own quirks and seasonality etc.
I’m looking for a way to export my stats. I looked into the MySQL tables for my site, but I did not see any that looked like they held the data for Seriously Simple Stats. Can someone tell me where the statistics are stored?
]]>After updating to WordPress v6.1.1, I no longer see the Seriously Simple Stats page for our podcasts. We’re using Seriously Simple Podcasting v2.19.1 and Seriously Simple Stats v1.4.1

]]>Hi. I am testing this site on a temp URL – but the Simple Stats plugin does not seem to be logging any test plays from the podcast page players on the site after over a week of testing. At this time I am only testing plays from the site – the RSS feed is not yet being distributed to any other platforms.
Any suggestions?
Hi, what stats is the plugin giving me? Is it the bots on my podcastplayer, like the website visit? Or is it a real listener?
How come I can not get the Serious simple stats giving me the Castos Server stats?
There is a 20x difference in server and plugin stats. Very annoying. No data that you can trust.
So I read a topic 3 years ago where it said this was on top of the list, then another question 2 years ago but I still haven’t found it.
Is it possible to show the stats on a page in the frontend via shortcode yet?
Hello – I have been using the Seriously Simple Stats plugin for a while now. Gradually, as time has gone on and I have more podcast data, the plugin has become slower to load. At this point, the plugin will not load at all and I receive a “504 Gateway Time-out” error.
I’m guessing that the stats are compiling on page load and the script is timing out due to the large amount of data. I’m not a developer – that’s just a guess based on my observations over time.
What do you recommend for getting the plugin to load the stats page correctly again?
]]>The plugin stats don’t match the analytics from a given podcast platform. For instance, my podcast stats in WP shows several plays from iPhone yet when I log in to Apple Podcast Connect and check stats it shows none (this is a new podcast).
Also, what is the “Other” category? Is that just the lump sum of non-major podcast players?
]]>I have played my episode about 40 times just setting things up. ??
Is there some way to clear the stats back to fresh? ZERO? Nada?
]]>Hello!
I’m trying to troubleshoot a conflict I have found with the DZS ZoomSounds audio player plugin.
When I have SSS and the DZS ZoomSounds active, the area in the SSS page with the graphs of Daily Listens and Listening Source is empty. And when I say empty, I mean that the headings are there but none of the code that generates the charts:
<div class="inside">
<h2 class="hndle ui-sortable-handle">
<span>Daily Listens</span>
</h2>
<div id="daily_listens"></div>
<h2 class="hndle ui-sortable-handle">
<span>Listening Sources</span>
</h2>
<div id="listening-sources"></div>
</div>
</div>Here is a screenshot with the inspector: https://snipboard.io/T9rkJ6.jpg
So it’s not just a display issue. The charts aren’t being generated.
I did find some errors in the console, but honestly I have no experience using this. Here is a screen shot: https://snipboard.io/w2vRAz.jpg Those errors are not there when I deactivate DZS ZoomSounds.
Obviously you aren’t responsible for the other plugin, but the conflict may impact other plugins as well. Also, since it is the functionality in SSS that is broken, I thought I would start with you.
Thanks!!
]]>I was getting a fatal error from this plugin under certain conditions:
Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Class 'SeriouslySimpleStats\Classes\Stats' not found in ... wp-content/plugins/seriously-simple-stats/seriously-simple-stats.php:48
Changing line 30 in seriously-simple-stats.php to explicitly include the correct autoload.php file like this:
require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';
seems to fix the issue for me. Can you make this update in the code for future releases?
A lot of affiliate and ad suppliers want to know your 30 day downloads on each show. Right now, I can get a chart of downloads over a certain timeframe, but not the total.
I have to either count each datapoint in the chart over thirty days (time consuming) or run a SQL query (tedious).
Is there a way to do this or can we add it to a future release? Thanks!
]]>Hi, it seems that listening is not recorded on platforms such as Google Podcasts, Amazon and others. I did some tests and when I check the Referrer column in the database it just shows empty, for example the IP 54.244.62.0 comes from the Amazon Music player and it is simply unnamed, on the other hand the listeners marked as Android are not shown either on the Frontend.
Is this a problem with the plugin or with my website?
is there anything I can do?
Thanks in advance for your help, regards.
]]>So in my overall stats for my podcast, I have an episode that’s been pulling ahead like crazy basically since it dropped. However, it only shows as being the most downloaded show when you look at the overall list. But if you start filtering on months, the numbers are much lower.
Example, this is the current overall stats, showing the last three months (March, April and a couple of days into May 2021):
https://www.dropbox.com/s/l0ufshk9hlwj27f/overall%20stats.png?dl=0
…however, when you check the stats for that specific episode, and filter for each month, it looks like this:
March:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/7z9n90z2mhmmqsb/march.png?dl=0
April:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/l9x7bgy4mhoazoe/april.png?dl=0
May:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/h8ki870tax3dhq3/may.png?dl=0
So… any idea whats going on? I’d love to believe those high numbers are real, but I’m sure they aren’t, but I don’t know what to do about it. Ideas?
]]>I installed a new theme on my podcast website, and the stats seem super inflated. I expected more listens as I gear up for season two of my launch at the end of this month… but I just jumped from averaging 200 listens per week, to over 1000 listens for the week just yesterday. These listens seem to be for the episodes in the featured post slider.
Are the stats being counted anytime anyone views a post that contains the player? Do they actually have to hit play?
It also seems like the stats go up every time I view the page… even though I’m logged in as an admin.
Finally, if I login to Castos to view stats in the analytics tab, while I do see a spike it’s significantly less. In Castos: 329 listens yesterday. In Seriously Simple stats: 792 listens.
SO:
How do I know if the numbers are inflated?
If they are inflated, how do I fix the issue?
(A little more info: I’m using the Jumla theme by themeinWP. All plugins, themes and systems are up to date and I do everything in Chrome.)
thanks for your help!
]]>I have version 5.7.0 of WordPress and version 1.3.0 of Seriously Simple Stats and version 2.6.2 of Seriously Simple Podcasting which are the most recent published to date.
My podcast has about 1,500 episodes and 1,800-2,300 downloads per day. On the dashboard, the summary appears, but not the graph.
When I click “view all data”, a 500 error occurs.
I have two other podcasts in another WordPress installation, with the same versions and on the same server, there is no problem there. But podcasts are smaller, about 600 episodes and 500-700 downloads a day.
What can I do to solve the problem so that I can see all the statistics?
Thanks for your attention.
]]>In my opinion, statistics for the last three months don’t make much sense because an episode that was released on the 3rd of a month just can’t be compared to one that started on the 28th. And two year old episodes, for example, often have a 0 in these columns. So these numbers don’t tell very much about the performance at all.
Some podcast hosters have some interesting parts in their statistics and I’m wondering if it is possible to replace some columns with these metrics:
Instead of showing the hits of the last three months, there should be Listens (first 7 days), Listens (first 30 days) and Listens (recent 30 days) to better compare episodes. The Lifetime column is completely fine. ??
How do you think about changing that?
]]>Has anyone figured out a way to get all time stats? IE total plays ever???
An important number to be able to give potential guests that it doesn’t seem is currently accessible / possible.
]]>Hello-
For the web plays, I was wondering if there was a time limit that the user has to hit for it to count as a play? Or does it count as a play whenever the play button is clicked?
]]>Would be really great if you guys could update the listening sources on the Stats plugin.
Currently one of the podcasts I managed is getting 91% from Audio Player. Surely we can break that down into something more accurate. Is it Spotify, is Apple Podcasts falling in there or does that go under iTunes.
This needs an update to stick with the times.
