best stats plugin

  • I’m new to wordpress, and was trying to figure out what the best stats plugin would be that most people like to use and havn’t had problems with.

    I’ve come across a few, but there’s not much of a way to tell at how “good” they are.

    Suggestions?

    Thanks ??

  • I, personally, really like Firestats. Easy to read, and always works. I’ve never had a single problem with it.

    I just started my own blog aswell, used the developer suggested one and you wouldn’t believe the size of the smile on my face when I saw my first 35 visitors. Wow.

    Firestats is pretty good, except I did find that it took up a lot of database space over time (maybe it was my settings) so I ended up uninstalling it. I’m currently using a combination of WordPress.com stats (which is great for ‘at a glance’ each day but am not sure if it’s good for analysing data over time) and SlimStat-Ex.

    Hmm…firestats seems to primarily just track pagehits.

    slimstat-ex is broken for WP 2.5. Comes up with a “fatal error” when I try to activate it.

    Considering development for that seems to be dead, are there any other plugins that are good?

    This thread offers a new version (compiled by other users of SlimStat-Ex) which should work with 2.5+

    I found the following temporary fix for the fatal error problem with SlimStat-Ex and WP 2.5+ here:

    Place the following code at the end of the wp-slimstat-ex-config.php file (before the last ?>).

    if (! isset ($ SlimCfg))
$SlimCfg =& SlimCfg:: get_instance ( ) ; $ SlimCfg = & SlimCfg:: get_instance ();

$GLOBALS [ 'SlimCfg' ] =& $SlimCfg ; // Add this line $ GLOBALS [ 'SlimCfg'] = & $ SlimCfg; / / Add this line
