I had not been using the wp-shortstat plugin regularly. I’ve been getting an error that suggests that the lack of maintenance is catching up with it.

When in wp-admin, here’s the source code for the error message.

— begin paste —

<b>Notice</b>:  has_cap was called with an argument that is <strong>deprecated</strong> since version 2.0.0! Usage of user levels by plugins and themes is deprecated. Use roles and capabilities instead. in <b>/home/coevtmfb/public_html/blogs/wp-includes/functions.php</b> on line <b>4020</b><br />

If anyone were to continue to use this plug-in, the advice would be to apply some maintenance.

Hi all.
The module does not register correct remote ip when a web server has a squid proxy frontend.

I’ve modified the source code (wp-shortstat.php) at line 93 with this few lines:

$_headersapache = apache_request_headers();
if (array_key_exists(‘X-Forwarded-For’,$_headersapache)) {
$ip = $_headersapache[‘X-Forwarded-For’]; } else {
$ip = $_SERVER[‘REMOTE_ADDR’]; }

Mo.Ma.

My host is doing 1 dump per day of the AWstats data, so that’s not exactly real-time. So I was using the WordPress.com Stats plugin.
Put that all of a sudden went belly up, reporting zero zero. Add to that, that future version will be based on that vile piece of crap called Jetpack. I went looking for a new stats plugin. Shortstats could have been it. BUT.

Last keywords.
Completely empty after 3+ days, with 1210 -1589 uniques per day in the “Uniques” column of the “Last week” box. But I think that these numbers are wrong anyway.

2 completely empty boxes, without heading
One of those 2, should be “Countries” I think. The other boxes (see in screenshot) are all showing something. Except “Last keywords” like I said.

I’m sure that the numbers in the “Uniques” column are way out. Way too high, when compared to AWstats. By a factor 9 to 10. AWstats is showing 141 – 162 uniques per day, for the same days.

Uninstalling right after posting this.
And moving on to trial GoingUp!, Clicky, and HiStats.
