Insert Java Script Page Counter

You’ll want to go and edit the index.php page in your template directory. Position it near the bottom. This will count all visits to your blog – main page.

If you place it in each blog entry, it will count every time an entry is loaded – If you have 10 entries viewable on your front page, it will count 10 times every time your front page is loaded. Not the effect you’re after, I am sure.

The code is corrupted because the majority of the tags used are not legal code for the body of your posts.

If you are using multiple templates or template switching – you can add this code to each template index.php file wherever you want it to appear in each template. Top, Bottom, left menu, pathway… etc.

Thanks Strixy,

I inserted the code AFTER the PHP and it seems to work now. To make the Java counter work I now have the page code reading:

<?php
/* Short and sweet */
define(‘WP_USE_THEMES’, true);
require(‘./wp-blog-header.php’);
?>
<!– #BeginLibraryItem “https://www.matthewholden.com.au/Statcounter.lbi&#8221; –>
<!– Start of StatCounter Code –>
<!– This code is for v1 of https://www.matthewholden.com.au –>
<script type=”text/javascript” language=”javascript”>
<!–
var sc_project=0;
var sc_partition=3;
//–>
</script>
<script type=”text/javascript” language=”javascript” src=”https://www.statcounter.com/counter/frames.js”></script&gt;
<noscript>
<img src=”https://c4.statcounter.com/counter.php?sc_project=0&java=0&#8243; alt=”counter” border=”0″>
</noscript>
<!– End of StatCounter Code –>
<!– #EndLibraryItem –>

The above coding works.

PS – love your tag line “What do you mean get a life? This IS my life!”

Thanks again

Matthew
