Thank you, @bapman, for the fantastic review! We’re happy that you found it helpful, and thank you for the quick tip about the WP-Cron HTTP Auth plugin. It will help for sure.

Hello @seoalien ,

This is because the public connection method uses our own Google Client credentials that have not yet been submitted to Google for review.

You can either use the private method which allows you to set your own Client ID and secret or you should be able to allow and bypass that Google warning and still connect using our credentials.

Thank you @bapman for reporting this and allowing me to debug it further.

The fix is now in production and updating the plugin should fix it.

Hi @bapman,

I was not able to reproduce the issue, but perhaps this has something to do with permissions after all as the profile selection goes all the way up to Accounts using the Google API https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/config/mgmt/v3/mgmtReference/management/accounts/list

As I see we can debug this in 2 ways:

1. E-mail us at [email protected] and I’ll give you access to a test site so you can login using your Google account so we can debug it there on a clean WordPress install.

or option 2. I can try and debug this on your end if you can e-mail us a link using the Temporary Login plugin https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/temporary-login-without-password/.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT POST any temporary admin login links here. Only send them via e-mail to [email protected].

Hello,

We will investigate this issue, and we’ll come back to you when we have more information.

Best,

Hello @indyparker,

We don’t have other templates as of now, only the standard one that is text-based without a featured image.

I have added a feature request in Github for this: https://github.com/presslabs/toplytics/issues/160

Hello @indyparker,

The “Trending posts” feature has been requested for a long time now.
https://github.com/presslabs/toplytics/issues/13

This is indeed a good idea but we never had the time to actually develop it.

As of now, you can only display Top Posts based on your GA analytics for a specific time period, last 30 days, 7 days, or 1 day + real-time.

The RealTime option is the “closest” to a Trending you can get using the current plugin version, yet this only takes the last 24 hours into consideration and accounts for All posts, so there is no actual filter. So this is more of a “Hot Now” widget.

Regarding your other question about “Views” being displayed regardless, please check the template file that contains the instructions. This is where you can also update it to display as you’d like, for example, you can add featured images, hide views count, etc.
https://github.com/presslabs/toplytics/blob/master/src/resources/views/frontend/widget.template.php

Looks like the admin URL is malformed.

That button simply sends you to Appearance > Widgets where you should find the Toplytics widget.

Hello @indyparker ,

1.
Both internal and external should work for your personal use – in this case you will be the only person connecting via this oAuth project.

2.
I am not 100% but I believe if you go the internal use route you’ll no longer need to provide all these policy links etc. Yet you can skip these because you’ll only be running this for your own oAuth sessions hence you will run it in the testing mode without the need to submit it to Google for review. So just provide the basic required fields like your e-mail etc and it should be fine.

Let me know how it goes.

Hello @indyparker ,

Yes, there are 4 data ranges available:
1 day, 7 days, 30 days, and “realtime” (which is actually coming from the Real-Time Google Analytics reporting API).

EDIT:
You can see the date ranges here: https://github.com/presslabs/toplytics/blob/master/src/components/Backend.php#L1132

Hello @indyparker,

1. Yes it works. So far we are not aware of any incompatibility using Cloudflare;
2. Yes, you can edit the template to also include the featured image inside of it. You can find more settings related to this on the Settings page of the plugin after install and connection to GA.

Here is the default template as an example. You can modify this to fit your needs.

Hello @jdku ,

I have just pushed a fix for the status messages now being displayed. Version 4.0.7 will contain a fix for this.

Thank you for reporting this problem.

Hello @jdku ,

Can you please create a temporary connection link for me to check out your site using this plugin: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/temporary-login-without-password/

Select 7 days for the account expiration.

Please e-mail the login link to [email protected]

Hello @jdku ,

Thank you for contacting us about this.

I have opened an issue in our Github tracker for the error message not being displayed https://github.com/presslabs/toplytics/issues/158

Can you please go to plugin settings (/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=toplytics&tab=settings) and try to allow only a single Top to be updated by unchecking all “tops” except for one? Say you only allow the “Monthly Top” and limit the posts to fetch to a small amount, say “10”. Now try to update again and let me know if it returns correct data?

Hello,

Thank you for your patience.

Upon further looking, the documentation is a bit old.

The only solution that I found is to use this in PHP inside your theme
echo do_shortcode( '[toplytics period="week" numberposts="5" showviews="true"]' );

Also, if you want to style it differently, you can see more information here: https://github.com/presslabs/toplytics/blob/master/src/resources/views/frontend/widget.template.php

Let me know if this works for you.

Kind regards,
