Words per Post graph not optimal

Thanks Johannes!

That’s a really good idea. Maybe if the plugin finds the largest word count then splits the graph up into 15 or 20 even columns that will work better. Awesome feedback!

I’m trying to be cautious with my time predictions at the moment because I’m on vacation but I can see this getting updated early March.

The word count is definitely something that needs working on as it may not be 100% the same as the WordPress number.

Much appreciated feedback. Thanks again!

Generally (to everyone)…
From the stats it looks like a few people have uninstalled recently so I was wondering if the plugin was broken for some people. If anyone finds anything else that doesn’t work I’d really like to know please so I can fix! Thank you. The export/CSV functions will also be improved once I get some time.

Your plugin is still running great here ??
Waiting for the csv export feature!
Take care,

Laurent

Hi Laurent, thanks for the info.

I actually made a test for the CSV export and it worked for other people but not for me. I think this was due to all the security plugins I have on the test blog. I’ll probably add it as an option to unlock in the settings page on the next update and make it clear that it can conflict with other plugins.

Next update will hopefully be in the next week or so… so the word count update will definitely be then and I think there should be some kind of CSV export too.

Hi Johannes,

Words per post should work better for you now. I know you have some posts of less than 100 words and many posts more than 750 so that’s quite a large range so I’d be really interested if it gives you more useful information, or not.

To make the numbers fairly round I’ve bumped them up to the nearest 10. So, there might be 0-19 words, then 20-39 words, etc. Because I made it round numbers that means that for me there are a couple of empty slots at the end, the alternative would be to have uneven ranges like 0-17 words, 18-35, 36-… I think rounded numbers are better so I just need to find a way to re-calibrate the chart to remove those empty bars at the end.

What do you think? Does this work for you?

Thanks,
Neil

Hey Neil,

thanks for the update. Yes, it looks better now and gives a good overview.
(However, in my case I have one high peak which results in many “0 posts” values followed by a single “1 posts” at the end. But I don’t know an easy solution to overcome this, so you must not care about this.)

This is my current view:
Words per Post
0 – 329 words: 31 posts
330 – 659 words: 58 posts
660 – 989 words: 42 posts
990 – 1319 words: 21 posts
1320 – 1649 words: 14 posts
1650 – 1979 words: 13 posts
1980 – 2309 words: 4 posts
2310 – 2639 words: 2 posts
2640 – 2969 words: 6 posts
2970 – 3299 words: 1 posts
3300 – 3629 words: 1 posts
3630 – 3959 words: 2 posts
3960 – 4289 words: 0 posts
4290 – 4619 words: 0 posts
4620 – 4949 words: 0 posts
4950 – 5279 words: 0 posts
5280 – 5609 words: 0 posts
5610 – 5939 words: 0 posts
5940 – 6269 words: 0 posts
6270 – 6599 words: 1 posts

Thanks for that!
Johannes

Wow!

I guess the perfect thing in this case would be if it had something like… “3960+ words”. Hmmm. Maybe there’s a better way of making the last one a “XX+” and having a fraction of the highest word counts in there might work.

With your data I like the fact that it shows that one result is so far ahead of all the others, though. If it was “3960+” you’d lose that.

I won’t go crazy on it but it definitely needs tidying up for next time. Thanks again!
