Error: The widget does not find any entries

Statify has not added statistics yet. Wait some days to collect some statistics by Statify.

Can I change the default cache expiry time?

Yes! Since 1.4.1 you can add the following filter to change the default 4 minute cache (60 * 4) to another value in seconds:

add_filter( 'statify_targets_cache_expiry', fn() => 60*4 );

If you do not set a numerical value greater than zero (>0), the standard cache expiry time is automatically used.

I set the cache too high (remove cache)

If you deactivate the plugin, all existing cache will be delete. After that you can activate Statify Widget again. Everything continues to work as usual.

Show pages and posts together

Yes! Since 1.1.4 that works.

Just in the content type widget: select Pages and posts. He then displays the default content types “post” and “page” together.

Show views in pages and posts

This is possible with shortcodes. Specifying a prefix and suffix is ​​not mandatory:

Properties:

• days = Amount of days
• prefix= Text before the view count
• suffix= Text after the view count

Shortcode:

[statify-count prefix ="Total" suffix ="calls." days="8"]

The total view counter for the whole webpage:

[statify-count-sum prefix="Total" suffix="calls."]

I do not have static page as homepage

No problem. A pseudo “Frontpage” (with views) entry appears.

I changed the permalink structure

This changes nothing. The plugin takes every Statify entry and adds it together.

Change design (CSS)

Just use these CSS classes:
* List: .statify-widget-list {...}
* List item: .statify-widget-element {...}
* List item view counter: .statify-widget-element span {...}
* List item link: .statify-widget-link {...}

Change list from numeric to points

If you want to change the list of contents (1st, 2nd, 3rd, …) to bullets, just add the following to your CSS:

.statify-widget-element {
    list-style-type: circle;
}

ADVANCED: Change Widget Template

Since 1.3.8 it is possible to customize the Widget Template by adding code to your Template functions.php. You can use the WP Post Object in the template.

There exists two hooks:

• statify_widget_before_link
• statify_widget_after_link

For Example add thumbnail before link in a div:

function statify_custom_template($post) {
    echo '<div class="post_thumbnail">'. get_the_post_thumbnail($post->ID, 'thumb') .'</div>';
}

add_action('statify_widget_before_link', 'statify_custom_template');

ADVANCED: Return all posts as WP Query

For example put this in your theme:

<?php
    if(function_exists('statify_popular_posts')) {
        &#36;wp_query = statify_popular_posts(
            &#36;amount = 5,
            &#36;days = 30,
            &#36;post_type = 'post',
            &#36;post_category = 0
        );

        // Make WP Post loop...
        while ( &#36;wp_query->have_posts() ) {
                &#36; wp_query->the_post();
        }
    }
?>

Properties

• $days = Range of days for statictics (0 = all days)
• $amount = Amount of posts
• $post_type = Post type (“post”, “page”, …)
• $post_category = Category of the post, if post type is choosen
