Sadly it’s not up to par with the service

  • The service is great but the plugin to use it in WordPress is TERRIBLE.
    Don’t know why this huge nonsense, is not loading at all, so is totally useless to have a plugin instead of a simple code to put in the footer. Use just the code instead.

    Hi,
    the plugin simply doesn’t work as intended in wordpress backend most of the time, when I click on statcounter to see the logs it does not load anything or crash, I may don’t have the best hosting on the market but the site works so it’s enough for me.
    So have installed the plugin just to inject the stat counter code in the site is pure nonsense, the plugin itself just help to weigh down the site.
    A plugin can help to use a service with ease, but at what price?
    Just paste the raw code in the footer and deal with it, and it’s how I’m using it now.

    Hi and thanks for your feedback. The issue where it does not load when clicked on is caused by the browser unfortunately.

    With the plugin if you change themes the statcounter will still be installed, if you put code into footer.php the statcounter will stop working when you change themes.

    The plugin does not weigh down the site and it gives people a simple way to add the code without having to go into the theme file.

    Kind regards,
