Site Stats Difficult to Read

Hi there,

Thanks for reporting this!
Could you post your site URL here, so I can have a look?

I’m talking about the way it appears in the self-hosted dashboard, not on WordPress-dot-Com. I don’t see what sharing a URL would do for you.

The chart was larger in the older versions of the plugin. Now there is a ton of empty space on both sides of the chart and the data widgets are squeezed down to really small proportions.

The WordPress admin dashboard looks the same. For example, if I look at the posts or pages the display fills the screen. So I know it is only Jetpack that has this problem.

Why was the display changed? This is across every site where we use Jetpack and it happens independently of the theme.

I second Michael’s request. The margins are ridiculously large since JP 6.2 and the stats columns are too narrow. Please revert.

Here’s a screenshot (I collapsed the individual boxes to keep a portion of the information private).

Hey there, and thanks both for the info you passed along ??
I was able to reproduce what you’re seeing about the stats screen, and have added this thread to the bug report issued here:

https://github.com/Automattic/jetpack/issues/9700

Although the change wasn’t documented, we think it’s likely it was intentionally done by our design team. The change ensures that all of Jetpack’s pages are consistent in their appearance. Please feel free to comment directly on the issue above. You can also monitor the issue from the above link ??

Thanks for the follow up. I’ve been too ill and busy to post a comment but I see that the issue was escalated to high priority. Thanks to everyone who voiced their concerns over the change.

No worries at all! I hope that you’re feeling better and on the mend ??

I have the same problem as already described above by @sffandom and @antermoia. I solved it by installing a CSS addon in my web browser (Firefox) and then added this line:

#jp-stats-wrap { max-width: 95%; }

What it does is to change max-width of the Jetpack stats from the fixed 720px to 95% to better fill out the screen width like it did before the update of the Jetpack plugin. I don’t know if this is proper CSS but it did the trick and it’s only a temporary solution until a permanent fix is released.

I guess we’ll have to do that because it’s been two weeks since Jetpack was last updated and this problem is REALLY annoying.

ON EDIT: This doesn’t work in Chrome, even if I add CSS to the theme through WordPress’ own custom CSS. They really need to fix the plugin.

I just updated Jetpack and saw the wide margins and smaller fonts. Not very user friendly. Not nice to look at. Will this be fixed by putting it back the way it was? If it ain’t broke…

Here’s another solution that is browser independent but may break the next time you update the Jetpack plugin:

Use a file manager and open the following file in your WordPress folder:

../wp-content/plugins/jetpack/modules/stats.php

Search for “#jp-stats-wrap” and change 1040px to 95% or whatever fits your browser.

#jp-stats-wrap {
	max-width: 95%;
	margin: 0 auto;
	overflow: hidden;
}
