Migrate Count Per Day data into other count plugin
-
Hi Count Per Day Users,
I prepare for the case that Count Per Day is not maintained anymore and not coming back to the WP library. As most of the users I will remove the plugin in that case, because I don’t want to risk a gateway for maleware on my installation.
My question is:
Because I have been using Count Per Day for the last 6 1/2 years it is providing a lot of data. Not only the monthly / daily views and users on my page for the past 6 1/2 years, but also the number of clicks on every single article.
Is there a way to migrate this information into another count plugin?
Or will it inevitable be a reset to zero if I change to another count plugin?Greetings,
SFrueh

Also, it looks like the Geo IP database is unavailable right now, so you may want to use Count per Day 3.4.1 which includes the Geo IP database.
But if you have downloaded the Geo IP database before and have happened to back it up in your computer, all you need to do it is just upload it from your computer into your WordPress site, and it works with CPD 3.5.7.
The Geo IP database cannot be upgraded now, but your old Geo IP database would serve the purpose for most of us.
If you happen to have a problem downloading a specific CPD version, you can probably find it at “archive.org.”
But if you use your brain, you can still directly download the past versions of Count per Day from www.ads-software.com. If you don’t want to think, just go to archive.org.
In any case, you don’t need to worry about getting malware if you stick to 3.5.7 or below.
Someone recommends “Advanced Page Visit Counter,” but this one lacks a graph. Its only useful stats is that of browser and that of operating system. Top 10 popular articles is useless because we can get that stats easily from WordPress Popular Posts and the like.
If you do not mind giving up your privacy and giving all your personal data to Google, plus if you trust that often morally questionable company, I suggest that you use Google Analytics.
If you want to show some Google Analytics results on your WordPress admin page, you may want to use MonsterInsights, which I do not particularly recommend after I learned that it is as morally questionable as that search engine from the following review:

I might pick up where Tom Braider left off in the future, but at present all I can do is probably update it to work with PHP 8.x which will be available next year or later. If that happens, I will name it something else like Sennin’s Count per Day, or Super Count per Day, or something like that.
But don’t trust me to do it.
By the way, if your website gets, say, more than 20,000 visits a day, you should probably not use WordPress plugin stats but use Google Analytics or AwStats instead. Since I probably will never ever use Google Analytics, I would use AwStats instead, or forget about stats altogether.
Thanks for reply, sennin. I do use google webmaster tool for my website search console etc. Just would like 3rd part plugin to features info it gives you similar that Counts per day had etc.
However, rather not activate that anymore, since it has not been updated for over a year and wordfence see it an issue as removed from WordPress for violating, as this thread mentioned.
