Thanks for getting back with me so quickly. The script ran perfectly fine and I got the “done!” message, but it didn’t have any effect. The all-time popular posts and pages appear only to be those since I reactivated the plugin after running the script (i.e., only shows 5 page views total).

I’m assuming that it is still not pull from the back up. The script actually seems to have the opposite effect from what’s intended. As an experiment, I ran the script again and reactivated the plug in. This time it showed “Sorry no data.” as if the script erased the data that was captured in the few minutes it was active before I re-ran the script.

Any other thoughts you have would be appreciated.

Thanks again for your efforts.

Best,
Jonathan

I had the same problem and tried the script above. Everything worked as you said except that it had precisely the opposite effect. All of my data is now gone. It was showing some data before, but this script seemed to completely reset everything.

I looked at my database and see that this table wp_popularpostsdata is basically empty (i.e., only has from the time I upgraded the plugin). However, wp_popularpostsdata_backup seems to have all the historical data down to the minute I upgraded the plug in. Is there a way to have the plug in call data form the backup and also current? Or to merge the two?

Thanks! I love this plugin and hope I can get it working again.

Me too.

Thanks for the reply, but I have no idea what I need to change in the custom URL options and how this corresponds to the actual hyperlink I used on the site.

In other words, if I change from Filename to Title, how should I change the hyperlink within the actual blog post?

I tried just changing to Title and the downloads still worked (i.e., the permalink didn’t change), but it also didn’t track the download or direct to registration.

I changed the custom url setting in the plug in to: https://www.doseofdigital.com/wordpress/whitepapers/filename.

So here’s one of the links:https://www.doseofdigital.com/wordpress/whitepapers/Emerging_Media_in_Healthcare.pdf

This still isn’t tracking (no I wasn’t logged in). Also, any idea why the member only isn’t working? Are these issues related?

Thanks.

Why did this upgrade overwrite CSS files?

I tried this trick and I must not be looking in the right places. How would you use this to retrieve a CSS file?

Yep. When you save it (you don’t need to even publish) and open it up again, the permalink is correct. It seems to only be wrong when the duplicate first opens. After you save it then go to manage posts and reopen, it’s fine. I’ll assume this means when you publish the same thing happens.

Thanks!

Loved the idea of this plug in and it worked pretty much as advertised. The only thing that I noticed wast that it didn’t copy the right permalink structure for me. For example:

https://www.doseofdigital.com/2009/01/healthcare-marketing-years-resolutions/

When copied turned to:

https://www.doseofdigital.com/1999/11/healthcare-marketing-years-resolutions/

Basically the year and month of the permalink were changed. That’s not an easy fix you can make from the edit screen either, so I’ve had to give up on this. Any idea how to fix this? I’m using WP 2.7.

Thanks,

Well, I handled this one on my own. My site is hosted at Go Daddy, so this may apply to them. I don’t know for sure what actually worked, but it did.

Permissions had nothing to do with it. I ended up deleting my hosting account and starting completely from scratch. This time, I matched the configuration of another blog I have hosted at Go Daddy. Of note, I picked PHP 4 instead of PHP 5 and also picked the less recent MySQL version option (not sure of the numbers though right now).

Worked like a charm. Installed WordPress and upgraded using the plug in and everything’s working fine.

Does WP not support PHP 5 perhaps?

PS: This is an issue in both FF and IE. I’ve tried clearing cache turning off and on plugins etc to no avail.

Fixed. I guess I didn’t fix all the images in all the posts. That’s what the problem was. One or two images were too big and pushed just a little into where the sidebar should fit sending it to the bottom of the page.

There’s nothing in my header.php that would indicate that this title tag should be there. Here’s the full thing:

<div id=”banner”> </div>
</div>

<div id=”description-container”>

</div>

Good call, but I can’t figure out how to get rid of this. I figured it was a plug in like SEO pack putting this there, but it’s not. If I deactivate all of my plugins it’s still there.

What might be putting this there?

Yeah, I thought this too, but I removed a bunch of posts and this didn’t change anything.
