Stats – “post #” instead of actual name

    I’m using WordPress.com Stats v1.6 on WP2.9 – all up to date ??

    I don’t often check my stats, but had a look today as I’ve got a particularly popular post up. It’s a picture I uploaded and then – as usual on this blog – thumbnailed on an article with the link set to “Post Page”.

    On the dashboard front page, all is fine. Full titles, clickable links. However, if I go into “View All” then a few of these nice clickable links turn into the likes of “Post #2342” which aren’t linked to anything.

    Popping back and forth I’m positive that this one “Post #” is for this particular post as I can see the hit count go up for it. Scrolling down the “All time” list I can see many more. I can only guess that they’re all the same – posts auto-generated from uploaded images. However, I see no way of connecting them back to a particular image/post!

    I’ve checked on another, less popular, blog and the same problem is there also.

    Is this a known issue? Or is there a way for me to correct it and/or identify the old ones?

  • I can take a look at it if you post your blog URL.

    Hey Andy. The blog most affected is:

    https://www.moshtour.me.uk

    while

    https://www.moshblog.me.uk

    has a handful of issues. I think mainly as that uses predominantly linked images, whereas the travel one used images I’ve uploaded.

    Thanks ??

    If you can edit the plugin, there is a change you can make to one line that should fix it. It works for me and if it works for you I’ll add it to the next version of Stats.

    On line 248, the last line of the convert_post_title function, replace
    return sprintf(__("Post #%d"), $post_id);
    with
    return $matches[0];
    then save the changes and check the results.

    Andy,

    Seems to do the trick! Could be coincidence but it does seem a *lot* slower bringing up the stats on the ?page=stats page now, though. I *have* been having internet speed issues recently, which fluctuate so it could just be that.

    Also just noticed that I now have “Home Page” as unlinked text in the list but I’m fairly sure I know which one that is… ??

    Thanks very much indeed ??
