Hi,

wondered if there’s a way to implement the “wp post stats” plugin thru the custom CSS.

As each time I’m updating the theme I have to re-enter the code in the specific page files as explained here:

http://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-post-stats/installation/

Or maybe this can be implemented thru Action hooks? cause I tried it with the line they are saying we need to add but it showed the code itself on the page.

Thanks,

Udi

Yes, but you will need to use a PHP widget to add the code, as ordinary text widgets can’t parse PHP.

That’s a bad plugin design that requires you to edit theme files to implement it.

I agree this is a bad plugin design, are you familiar with similar one that will show a counter under each post/page of how many readers read it?

If not, which PHP widget do you recommend? And how to configure it?

Also, if this is a widget, how can I add it under the post or page so it will be part of it?

Thanks a lot for your help.

What about this plugin: http://wordpress.org/plugins/top-10/

Ok, managed to work it out with this plugin: “Enhanced Text Widget” and the action hooks!

Syahir, tried the top 10, but it start counting from zero, so I will lose all my counts till today 🙁

I’ll stick with the solution I’ve mentioned above with the great help of your Action Hooks.
