Stats by post author

  • I have a website where users can publish posts (Properties in this case). I am looking to add post statistics for members to see how their OWN posts are performing by adding a front end shortcode (or something) to their profile pages.

    How do I show the users / authors the stats only relating to their own published post preferably in the front end and if possible by individual posts.

    What sort of stats do you want to track? Most people probably rely upon Google Analytics (GA) to collect stats. There are a number of plugins that will integrate GA into your site, but I’d be surprised if any offer the by user level of detail you are after.

    To collect at that level of detail, the GA tag code on each page needs to be modified to cause GA to track by user.

    Then to retrieve appropriate stats from GA, you can utilize its API. The returned information can then be displayed on your site via shortcode or other means. Unless you’re an experienced coder, this all would be very challenging to accomplish. Either way, it’d be worth looking at existing solutions before embarking on a coding project. At the very least, anything that comes close to meeting your needs could serve as guidance towards your own efforts.
