Ignore bots option is not working

If you let me know which bots (user agents) are being logged, I would be glad to add them to the ignore list. Probably will be updating the plugin again in the next couple of weeks.

Ok I have Reset feed stats so I don’t have much user User Agent info here as some

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Googlebot/2.1; +https://www.google.com/bot.html)

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; YandexBot/3.0; +https://yandex.com/bots)

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 6.0.1; Nexus 5X Build/MMB29P) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/41.0.2272.96 Mobile Safari/537.36 (compatible; Googlebot/2.1; +https://www.google.com/bot.html)

Can I edit any plugin file to fix this for now?

Thanks for fast reply, support and for this plugin.

You are correct those all should be ignored after changing the option to ignore bots. So it looks like a bug at this point. I’ll investigate and resolve any issue in the next version of the plugin. Thank you for reporting this.

Thanks

Hello Jeff,

I had the same issue as @meefeed which I solved by wrapping the insert code around the sfs_ignore_bots condition in function simple_feed_stats().

if (isset($sfs_options['sfs_ignore_bots']) && $sfs_options['sfs_ignore_bots'] && preg_match('/'. implode('|', sfs_ignore_bots()) .'/i', $agent)) {
			//do nothing
		} else {
		
			if     (strpos($request, $feed_rdf)       !== false) $type = 'RDF';
			elseif (strpos($request, $feed_atom)      !== false) $type = 'Atom';
			elseif (strpos($request, $feed_rss2)      !== false) $type = 'RSS2';
			elseif (strpos($request, $feed_coms_atom) !== false) $type = 'Comments';
			elseif (strpos($request, $feed_coms)      !== false) $type = 'Comments';
			else                                                 $type = 'Other';
			
			$tracking = 'default';
			
			$table = $wpdb->prefix .'simple_feed_stats';
			
			$wpdb->insert($table, array(
					
					'logtime'  => $logtime, 
					'request'  => $request, 
					'referer'  => $referer, 
					'type'     => $type, 
					'qstring'  => $qstring, 
					'address'  => $address, 
					'tracking' => $tracking, 
					'agent'    => $agent, 
					
				), array('%s', '%s', '%s', '%s', '%s', '%s', '%s', '%s')
			);
			
		}

You should create GitHub repositories for your plugins to let contributors pull requests.

Thank You.

Just to follow up, this issue is resolved in the next version of Simple Feed Stats. Should be available today or tomorrow.

Thanks again @meefeed for reporting this issue.

Thank you @dobaniashish for your feedback.
