ZdStatistics Version 2 is a wordpress plugin allowing you to track your visitors. This is not a simple statistics plugin, it’s very flexible and dynamic. This means you can update your filters by yourself and therefore by as realistic as possible.
Note this page is still under revision, you can see the release post here and the screenshots here
Here is a lsit of functions :
- Display a summary of visits (week, month, trimester, semester and year)
- Display Pageviews and visitors with daily precision
- Referring pages
- Used keywords
- Localization of your visitors
- Browser / OS
- Outgoing Links
The statistics are collected and instantly processed, or not, as you can decide this using an option. You can also separate feeds from real pageviews, exclude some IPs from being collected (@home, @work, @school, etc…) and choose to collect robots pageviews or not.
Localization of your visitors is made using GeoLiteCity from MaxMind, you can download the database here.
One of the best point of the system is its flexibility, indeed, filters and rules are using options and therefore you can update them anytime you want and then update your database. You choose what’s filtered.
This new version now includes a better spam detection using spamhaus.org servers.
This plugin is under GPL Licence
Here is a video of the plugin:
You can download it on Wordpress
Setup
Setup is very simple, just unzip the archive in your wp-content/plugins folder. Download the GeoLiteCity.dat specified above and place it in the geoip folder (in fact, I’m not sure if it’s redistruable, so you’ll have to download it yourself).
You can now activate the plugin and change the options.
Options
Go to the Statistics tab, then Options.
This is where you will specify IP Filters.
Then you can check boxes you need, everything is self explanatory. My recommendation though is to activate Automatic analysis of the data, except if you have a very huge list of filters.
And finally Filtered IP.
Do you like my work ? Why not donate ?
F.A.Q
- After doing an update, Geolocalization is not working
Yes, this is due to wordpress automatic upgrade which deletes the plugin folder. In order to avoid this, do a manual upgrade, or save the file before your update, or finally, upload it again after the upgrade.
Of course, you are not forced to use this function and if no file is present, the function will only be disabled

Three quick queries, apologies if you’ve covered them elsewhere already…
1) Are unique visits recorded as a separate stat?
2) Is it possible to pull the data from this plugin and display it publicly (that is without being logged into the blog, is it possible to display a running total of unique visitors within a text/execPHP type widget?)
3) If yes to both above, is it possible to set the total uniques from before the plugin was installed, rather than starting from 0?
Thanks
ChrisM, No Unique visitors are not recorded, they are calculated when you display the carts.
2) Yes it will be possible in next release, prior releases had a widget, but as I re-coded everthing, the widget was not my priority, it will come back soon.
3) well no you can’t set the number of visitors prior to the first install of the plugin.
trying out the plugin now. To be frank I have been using StatPress for a while now, but the features of ZdStatistics looks good, giving it a try!
Everytime I try an update the options it takes me here…
mysite wp-admin/admin.php?page=ZdStatsV2_Options
goes to my site and says
What you were looking for cannot be found.
Try again.
je viens de découvrir que la nouvelle version du Zdstastiics est en conflit avec d’autres plugins que utilisent la librairie jquery …:-(
Jorge, quel genre de conflit ? Effectivement, pour l’analyse des liens sortants j’inclue le jquery fournis par wordpress, j’ai un peu de mal a voir ou pourrait être le conflit. As-tu le nom du / des plugins en conflit ?
amy, this is supposed to be the correct page, do you use specific plugins for your admin panel ?
bonjour il s’agit du plugin “Simple JQuery Lightbox ” que ne fonctionne plus de problema aussi avec le script jquery.validate pour la validation de formulaires j’ai remplace le plugin pour l’effet lightbox pour un autre jQuery Lightbox For Native Galleries cela semble marcher de nouveau mais sous IE les pages se chargent avec des erreurs á présent
Not that I am aware of. I’ll tinker around with it see if I get it figured out. I wasn’t sure if it was a bug or something thanks for your prompt reply and for the great plugin! :)
Tony, I am still suffering the performance downgrade due to Zdstat. When I deactivate Zdstat, the webpage becomes much faster. So I have to deactivate this. Do you have similar feedback? Richard
Installed the plugin on another one of my and still keep getting this “What you were looking for cannot be found.
Try again.” it goes to my site and displays that message everytime I hit update options. =/
@Richard, this is very strange, could you use the debug on button in the general overview and send me the result ?
@amy, this is very strange as the page is really supposed to be in wp-admin, did you change the administrative folder ?
