WordPress Stats API

I suspect they fall under ‘other’ and are less than a percent.

No, this is not the case. i know because i monitor the stats. check out those screenshots:

How are you monitoring those stats?

I mean are you just hitting up the page and screen capping or …?

It’s possible they’re just not monitoring the pre 3.0 versions anymore.

It’s in hebrew, but you can see the graphs at the bottom of each post:

• WordPress 3.3 – 20m downloads
• WordPress 3.3 – 15m downloads
• WordPress 3.3 – 10m downloads
• WordPress 3.3 – 5m downloads
• WordPress 3.2 – 10m downloads
• WordPress 3.1 – 15m downloads
• WordPress 3.0 – 30m downloads
• WordPress 3.0 – 20m downloads

It’s possible they’re just not monitoring the pre 3.0 versions anymore.

More or less, but it is temporary — that current stats group is only set up on API endpoints 1.5 and 1.6, which is 3.0. When we port it back to endpoints 1.0 to 1.3 (1.4 was never included in a stable release), we’ll end up with more data.

So can you fix it?

I don’t currently have a timeline for when we will roll it out, but I imagine relatively soon.

Rami, there is something very wrong with the stats, almost to a point I think they are faked. In April WP 3.0 was at over 50%, WP 3.3 at only 15%. And now, WP 3.0 has only 22% and WP 3.3 has 54%. And in the past 2 months number of WP 3.3 downloads is bellow average from what I can see, so it is impossible that over 40% of all WP websites converted to 3.3 in this short period and not to see considerable download increase (it has to be at least 20 million a month to see such change).

The only explanation is that WordPress.com is now counted in official statistics with its 30 mil or more websites. Also, adoption rate compared to previous versions is about the same, and yet count is not reflecting that at all. I would really like to see explanation on how this statistics is made in the first place and what it includes.

I know for us, we’ve been tracking a lot of similar data around www.remarpro.com sites. More so on version upgrades than actual downloads. We know sites that are still running pre 3.0 versions and about less than 20% of sites upgrade to the latest version. Also, for sites that have an “under construction” plugin or launch theme, the most used version is still 3.3.1 and these sites are relatively new installs. We hope to put ups similar stat page to www.remarpro.com on https://www.presstrends.io, so would love to hear some feedback on stats you would like to see.

Andrew, you wrote about one month ago.. Have you got a timeline already or still not?..
When will you roll it out?
