Disable stats programmatically?

    Is it possible to disable the stats for a specific page / do it with code?

    I use the wp-draftsforfriends plugin to let other people read my drafts without having a user. But i noticed that Jetpack Stats count anonymous visitors to that page as visitors to the post. Even though it’s a draft and not published.

    Is there a hook or something i can use to disable it?

    There’s no way to disable the stats tracker for specific pages; it’s either on or off.

    I would suggest simply creating user accounts for these people and then making sure that logged-in user stats tracking is off. You can find these settings under Jetpack > Settings > WordPress.com Stats > Configure. The boxes should be unchecked, like this:

    Ok, thank you for the answer.

    But wouldn’t you say tracking stats for a post with draft as a status is a bug? Or is it the intention?

    Normally we would not track stats for drafts, true, but drafts are not normally viewable by anyone but you.

    So it seems like the problem is that your “draftsforfriends” plugin is interfering with this process and somehow “publishing” the drafts, which in turn causes them to start tracking views and such.
