Missing info?

    I installed the plugin, view the settings, note there is one object on the dashboard called “Last week search stats” that does show only the last search item.

    I have no idea where all the other analytic search objects should appear that you show in the screenshot tab as it’s not on the dashboard (I check the filter enable for elements at the top right of page)

    Also checked the menu and only find the settings in the Settings menu as MWT settings?

    Hello @thecatim ,

    You should see it as a submenu of the Dashboard menu item.

    If you still don’t see it, try to access this URL and let me know what happens:

    https://yoursite.com/wp-admin/index.php?page=search-analytics%2Fadmin%2Fincludes%2Fclass.stats.php

    The settings menu is not MWT settings but MWT: Search Analytics and you should be able to see it if you access this link:

    https://yoursite.com/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=search-analytics

    Let me know about your findings.

    Thanks,
    Cornel

    Both those links when I added in my domain gives an error. I realise you will say to disable my other plugins however all my other plugins work fine.

    Here is the error
    Sorry, you are not allowed to access this page.

    Thanks, you are correct the menus are there and it solves my issue however brings up an even bigger issue Cornel?

    About 10% of plugins I have tried did exactly the same so I just uninstalled them and categorized these as bad authors….it seems to be a WordPress standard going off the rails so I highly suggest you investigate this. I do software for a living and know WP and Elementor well after some years of hard learning however I think I am in the group of 99.9% that just do not have the time to sort these issues and expect it to just work. Maybe a good start is to publish these gotchas and the direct links on the plugin info page?

    Thanks to all of you who reply and Cornel for your great plugin that you volunteer your time as startups like mine…here is my attempt to give back if it helps you… [link redacted by moderator]

    I found the reason why your items do not display on my sidebar menu….I use the plugin WP Custom Admin Interface (as many do) so it prevents your items being displayed anywhere. I realise you might say to take this bug up with that plugin author but as 10% of all plugins I ever used suffer from this it might be your plugin having some strange behaviour….can I recommend you talk to that plugin author please as you would be in far better position to find the bug?

    I wanted to complement you on showing your change log and other important info on the ‘search statistics’ page…all authors should do this as this saves me plenty of effort and time. Can you please recommend this to WordPress?

    Hi @thecatim ,

    I am glad you found the problem and that you can now access the pages.

    I will look into ways of letting users know that WP Custom Admin Interface might prevent the links from showing up. I need to install it and run some test. But I will definitely include some kind of notification or workaround in a future update.

    Unfortunately, it is not my position and not even WordPress’ position to tell all the plugin authors what to display on their plugin’s pages. I find it as a useful addition to the page so I added it. But it’s just a personal choice.

    Thank you for using my plugin and hope that it fits your needs.

    Have a good day,
    Cornel
