Official Wordpress Plugin for StatCounter
For all you wordpress.org users out there, we’re delighted to announce the release of our official Wordpress Plug-In – this will allow you to easily install StatCounter on your wordpress.org blog and enjoy the full range of StatCounter stats!
We’ve also updated the install guide for wordpress.com to make it easier for you to add a html-only counter to your wordpress.com blog.
How do I use the StatCounter wordpress.org plug-in?
- Log into your StatCounter account.
- Click the wrench icon beside your project name.
- Click the ‘install’ code link.
- Follow the wizard and when asked for your web editor choose “wordpress.org”.
- Follow the remaining instructions and hey presto!
How do I add StatCounter to my wordpress.com blog?
- Log into your StatCounter account.
- Click the wrench icon beside your project name.
- Click the ‘install’ code link.
- Follow the wizard and when asked for your web editor choose “wordpress.com”
- Follow the remaining instructions and Bob’s your uncle!
What’s wordpress.org?
Wordpress.org is the version of wordpress that YOU host on your own server. This means you have full access to modify the blog template as you wish i.e. you can add the full StatCounter javascript code.
What’s wordpress.com?
Wordpress.com is the version of wordpress that WORDPRESS hosts on its servers. This means that access to modify the blog template is restricted according to what wordpress allows i.e. you can only install the StatCounter html-only code.
What’s a html-only counter?
Where you can’t install a full javascript counter, StatCounter offers you the option to install a html-only counter. While a html-only counter can’t offer you the same range of stats as the full code can, it does provide you with information on hits, browsers, location of visitors. You need to install the full javascript code to see referrers – the html counter can’t capture this information.
Why won’t wordpress allow javascript code?
For security reasons wordpress don’t allow you to install javascript code on blogs hosted by them i.e. wordpress.com blogs. We’re sure though that, if enough of you request the full StatCounter code on your wordpress.com blogs, then Matt & Co would be happy to oblige! We would certainly be happy to work with wordpress on this. So get emailing and don’t forget to pop back here to let us know how you get on!
PS: Thanks to Luke Stevenson for developing the first StatCounter plug-in for wordpress!
Update: Any problems installing the plugin? Let us know!
A few members had trouble installing the plugin. We believe this may have been a problem with the difference between return characters in windows and unix. If you try to download and install the plugin again it should work now. If it is still not working for you we would love to investigate the problem for you. Please send us the login details of your blog and server and a report of the problem you are experiencing.

WOW! That’s a great plus for StatCounter.com - hopefully you’ll see why other Blogging s/w or CMS like Drupal and/or Joomla too might need it.
This is great news! Thank you for sharing.
January 15th, 2008 at 8:00 pm
Nice.
I’ve always loved both StatCounter and WordPress. I’m already using StatCounter on my WordPress, though. It’s working very smoothly.
What difference does this plugin make? Isn’t it just a simple matter of inserting the code on your footer.php file? Are there additional features?
January 15th, 2008 at 8:37 pm
Go raibh maith agat
January 15th, 2008 at 8:44 pm
With several wordpress blogs ( and often adding more) this will be a great feature. Thanks
January 15th, 2008 at 10:45 pm
I agrre with pamQ. What’s the difference?

but apparently I can’t spell o)
January 15th, 2008 at 11:19 pm
Putting the StatCounter code into your footer.php is a fine solution. The plugin has the advantage of being very easy to install and won’t be effected by wordpress software upgrades.

I’m very excited about the first StatCounter plug-in for wordpress being offered today…….can’t wait to get this program started !
January 16th, 2008 at 5:47 am
Great work. Now I shouldn’t copy-paste the code every time I change the theme.
January 16th, 2008 at 6:37 am
This is a brilliant move - so many were forced to use other stats that simply did not have the full range of features that StatCounter has.
Sitemeter is also great - but sometimes geeks needs two or more to get all the analytic features they crave.
Hopefully, more blogs will allow their clients to take advantage of StatCounter - and hopefully they will allow them to take advantage of the JavaScript version.
It really adds an extra dimension to a blog to know what referrers and keywords were used to get there.
In future versions, could there be an option to organize search terms by search engines AND time frames - for real in depth SEO analysis.
January 16th, 2008 at 8:42 am
Great work
however, i can’t login into my wordpress admin area and i got this weird error message instead

The only way for me to get out of this is to access my server using ftp and rename or delete “StatCounter-Wordpress-Plugin.php” plugin file
so, any idea??
StatCounter Team Response:
Hi Jessy,
That is a strange error. Could you supply us with your web host login information so we can troubleshoot this problem for you. I’ve sent you an email.
January 16th, 2008 at 9:29 am
Good move, congratulations
My website is hosted on a mutualized server and, with 20k uniques per day and 80k pages seen, this is almost the limits of the hosting, so to avoid being kicked out I am trying to cause the use of as little CPU/RAM/hits as possible.
Could you please tell if your plugin might cause additional hits, cpu or ram usage, compared to your simple code in footer.php ?
Regards,
Oliver
StatCounter Team Response:
Hi Oliver,
I’m afraid that we haven’t benchmarked the performance of the plugin versus adding it to your footer.php yourself. It is, however, just one tiny extra function call so the increase of cpu/ram usage should be negligible.
Thanks for your interest!
January 16th, 2008 at 10:48 am
Very cool.
This will probably come in handy for people that are not comfortable modifying their theme + if people change their theme regularly they don’t have to remember to add the StatCounter code every time
January 16th, 2008 at 11:08 am
Statcounter is the best free system for stats. it’s really a good news to have plugins for wordpress.com. it could be good to have plugins for typepad, blogspirit too because very often, it’s complicated for people to paste a javascript ..
January 16th, 2008 at 3:49 pm
This is really interesting… We’ll definitely give it a shot.
Thanks StatCounter Team.
January 16th, 2008 at 3:51 pm
Great, I’ll use it in my blog.
January 16th, 2008 at 4:01 pm
It is really cool that you guys come up with so many different ideas.
Best of luck to you.
January 16th, 2008 at 8:32 pm
I also encountered the same errors as jessy did and the only fix at this time is removing/renaming the StatCounter-Wordpress-Plugin.php file.
January 16th, 2008 at 9:46 pm
Another great addition to your services, good job!
January 16th, 2008 at 10:52 pm
Hi,
Good idea but I have a little bug.
My Wordpress is a 2.3.2 version and when the Statcounter plugin is enabled, when I write a new post on my blog, the toolbar (bold, italic, links, etc.) of the visual editor has disapear.
When the plugin is disabled, the toolbar is back.
Hope this will help you !
January 16th, 2008 at 11:07 pm
I would switch straight over if statcounter ran adsense exit click tracking… Last time I checked it was not available.
January 17th, 2008 at 12:40 am
I got the same error messages as jessy above when I tried loading my admin login page - I activated the plugin last night and this morning, I couldn’t access my wordpress admin. I had to delete the plugin file from my server and then was able to log in.
Further a commenter on my blog got the error message when she left a comment (http://chennette.net/2008/01/06/making-pizza-the-good-eats-way/#comment-1806) and I couldn’t even see her comment until I deleted the plugin.
I didn’t try renaming the file - does that really work? I just deleted it and reinserted the code into the header page.
January 17th, 2008 at 3:53 am
Had the same problem as Jessy and some of the others. Check the StatCounter-Wordpress-Plugin.php file. Mine had  before the <?php at the top. I removed it and everything looks good. There should be no code or space before the at the end. Hope this helps.
StatCounter Team Response:
Hi David!
Thanks for the feedback about the problem. The plugin has been updated and should be fixed. If you have any more issues let us know.
January 17th, 2008 at 8:15 am
I’ve just downloaded the pluggin… best of luck for you guys
January 17th, 2008 at 1:15 pm
I’m going to be a spoilsport here.
I never understood the need for a plugin when it’s a matter of simply inserting the code into the skin. Well, Wordpress is like that I guess. Plugins for smallest things, and complicated skin editing.
StatCounter Team Response:
Putting the StatCounter code into your footer.php is a fine solution… but the plugin has the advantage of being very easy to install and won’t be effected by wordpress software upgrades.
Thanks for your comment!
January 17th, 2008 at 3:13 pm
this is awesome news…! being that i just transfered my old blog over to wordpress.. can’t wait to install it… Thanks!!

January 17th, 2008 at 4:30 pm
Hi guys, I’m still experiencing a problem with the updated plugin, the string “” momentarily appears when opening pages from the admin as well as the blog itself.
I’m using wordpress 2.3.1 and the site runs on a linux server. I’ve uploaded the PHP plugin file in ASCII mode.
And also may I know the advantages of this plugin over the conventional copy-pasting of the statcounter code?
January 17th, 2008 at 4:45 pm
Hi Rico,
Can you send us your login details to your server so we can debug and fix this for you.
http://www.statcounter.com/contactus.html
thanks!
StatCounter Team
January 17th, 2008 at 4:57 pm
Hi guys, it turns out that David above was right about the “” string appearing before the <?php at the top. I wasn’t able to see it at first because I used notepad to open the PHP file but then when I used vi in binary mode the culprit was there. I removed the 3 characters and the problem was fixed!
I have one small gripe thought, I specifically chose to use text instead of a graphical counter. This appears correctly in the home page of the blog but in sub pages the graphical counter was used.
January 17th, 2008 at 5:02 pm
Oops I just realized I can simply edit the PHP plugin file to make it use text instead of a graphical counter, sorry.
January 17th, 2008 at 5:42 pm
Outstanding news! Looking forward to trying out the new plugin.
Jeff
January 17th, 2008 at 6:08 pm
FYI, I just installed the “new” version (1/17 10am PST), and I’m still getting the “” string. I uploaded using ASCII mode.
January 17th, 2008 at 6:22 pm
Hi RC,
Can you send us your login details to your server so we can debug and fix this for you.

January 17th, 2008 at 6:23 pm
rc, try using vi or vim editor in binary mode to edit the StatCounter-Wordpress-Plugin.php file and remove the garbage characters at the beginning of the file. Don’t use notepad or other gui text editors. It worked for me.
just type in the command prompt: vim -b StatCounter-Wordpress-Plugin.php
and you’ll be able to see the garbage characters and remove them.
To statcounter guys, what editor did you use that caused the garbage characters to be prepended to the PHP file?
January 17th, 2008 at 7:02 pm
Hi Rico,
The plug-in file was using the UTF-8 character set - this added an extra piece of text to the top of the file which was creating problems for some Wordpress users. We have now switched the character set and the plug-in should now be working fine for everyone. Let us know how you are getting on!
Thanks so much for your help resolving this issue.
January 17th, 2008 at 7:49 pm
Good job guys, I installed the latest version and it’s all working fine. This is great stuff, thanks for developing the plugin!
January 17th, 2008 at 8:53 pm
This is a great plugin.
Thank you!
January 17th, 2008 at 11:02 pm
Thanks for this, guys!
One suggestion: would be great if you could exclude logged in users of a certain level from tracking, as you can with the Ultimate Google Analytics plugin.
January 18th, 2008 at 1:45 pm
hurray for statcounter!!!!!
January 18th, 2008 at 6:31 pm
Great! I will try to install the code on mi blog…
January 18th, 2008 at 9:21 pm
I have to echo Anime fan’s comment above - where’s the need for a plugin here? When I migrated my site from Movable Type to WordPress, I simply inserted the counter code into my theme/template as usual. What’s the advantage of a plugin?
StatCounter Team Response:
Putting the StatCounter code into your footer.php is a fine solution… but the plugin has the advantage of being very easy to install and won’t be effected by wordpress software upgrades.
Thanks for your comment!
January 19th, 2008 at 2:31 pm
I’ve installed the plugin and tried to fill in the 3 required values, but my statcounter project doens’t generate a security string:
var sc_project=516093;
(…)
var sc_security=”";
My beta counter does generate a security string. Is this a bug in your system, or should I reconfigure my counter?
StatCounter Team Response:
Hi Krispijn,
No need to reconfigure your counter. This simply means you created your project before we added this extra security measure to StatCounter. You can simply leave this field blank in the wordpress plugin install.
If in the future you ever want to enable this security feature of StatCounter you simply
- login to your account
- click the wrench icon beside your project name
- click the ’security code’ link
- follow the instructions on the page

January 20th, 2008 at 5:26 pm
I already have “installed” the statcounter a long time ago …
I simply copied the code into a text widget on my site at wordpress and voila .. it worked …
Will try out the new plugin to see if it makes a real difference.
January 20th, 2008 at 7:33 pm
I don’t use Wordpress, but I have a question: my Statcounter stats for yesterday read 14 unique visits to my Wilderness Diary site. The publishing platform I use recorded 1,250 unique visits during the same period. As you can see, this is a HUGE discrepancy. Any ideas why it might be happening? I have the Statcounter code copied into the footer of my website, so it logs each page.
January 21st, 2008 at 6:59 am
Will the plugin add a widget? I installed it just now and filled out the IDs ang saved, but nothing happened. How would I know if it works?

This is great, next time I do maintenance of my server I will upgrade to the statcounter plugin, until now I have been running with the java tag in the page footer, but if the plugin runs just as well (or better) than the footer will be cleaned for the java tag. I use SC to give me a review of trafic for all my and my wife’s projects, and it is very interesting to see the trafic development on different projects.
Keep up the good work

I have a slightly diff. question than those who posted above asking why the need for a plugin if they already have Statcounter code installed in their blogs.
I’m assuming that the plugin won’t provide any more features or track traffic differently than the Statcounter code we’ve inserted into our footers/headers. Am I right? Because if it will work differently then it might be worthwhile to install the plugin. I’m doubting that’s the case but curious about the answer.

Hi!
Statscounter for WordPress does not seem to be working properly. Wassup (another stats plugin for wordpress) reports more than 600 visitors to one of my blogs, while Statscounter reports 50-some.
So one of the is wrong, and in this case I think Statscounter. I have installed the plugin, and everything indicates that it is working as it should, so what is wrong here?

I’m a new user with Stat Counter. I’ve seen a couple of comments about this issue, but thought I’d send mine along as well. The location of IP addresses is not accurate. My own IP address says I’m in NY when I’m in CA. A regular visitor to my site lives in Oakland, but her IP address registers that she’s in L.A. Another lives in East Timor, but it shows up as Nepal. This is pretty far from accurate. Any chances of this being fixed? I’ve converted to Stat Counter from Sitemeter after discovering they were dumping spyware onto my computer and the computers of my visitors. One plus for Sitemeter is that locations tied to IP addresses were correct. I’m encouraging my friends who use Sitemeter to dump it and install Stat Counter, but we’d all like to see the location info become accurate. Thanks!
February 3rd, 2008 at 7:01 am
I have to report a small problem here. My website counter is increasing but in my admin, the counter is not increasing at all. In fact, it is staying at 0.
Is there any problem? or do i have to do something else too?
February 3rd, 2008 at 7:19 am
Hello Stat Counter Team,
The problem has been solved. Sorry for bothering you. But, still I have the StatCounter code in a local web portal and its normal hits was around 150 by this time normally, but today it is just showing 30 which is quite abnormal.
Anyway, thank you.
February 3rd, 2008 at 2:22 pm
I have installed statcounter using the wordpress plugin and it works fine. I also wrote a small post in my blog. Thanks for the plugin.
February 3rd, 2008 at 5:23 pm
I isnstaled StatCounter on my webpage and in my blog. It works great. I check the people that come to mt blog and website every day. I don’t know if the loction is accurate. I live here in Fort Lauderdale, FL and on the map shows that I am in Miami.

Statcounter is a very beautiful tool - be it a blog or a normal web page. I love the way it shows me page by page tracking of my website.
February 8th, 2008 at 12:27 am
I installed StatCounter for my WordPress blog last night. I access the stats from work and home and I’m having problems getting StatCounter to hold my settings for Blocking Cookies. It seems as though I have to switch the blocking on EVERY time I log in to StatCounter. In the meantime my visits to the site, even for admin work, such as writing new posts, are logged as visits to the site. Is there something I am missing, I’d like to permanently block my visits from the counter if possible.

StatCounter work very well with wordpress. The best solution is put the source code into footer.php. Awesome! Thanks for sharing this amazing plugin. Keep it up!

How do I keep from logging hits to my admin pages?
March 7th, 2008 at 8:50 pm
This is a great plugin.10q
March 8th, 2008 at 2:24 am
Whats the difference between the plugin and simply adding your statcounter code into the php footer of the theme you are using in WordPress?
StatCounter Team Response:
Putting the StatCounter code into your footer.php is a fine solution… but the plugin has the advantage of being very easy to install and won’t be effected by wordpress software upgrades/theme changes.
Thanks for your comment!
March 10th, 2008 at 9:50 pm
When I enter the security string with the ” infront and behind the code and do an “update options” the ” symbol is replaced with a /”. The database character set is utf8_general_ci. Does the stat counter work without the “?
March 13th, 2008 at 12:44 pm
Thanks you, this makes it much easier than having to edit the code on my wordpress templates to get my stats to work!
March 14th, 2008 at 6:04 am
Thanks it was a pretty easy guide. I’m looking forward to using this
March 14th, 2008 at 1:46 pm
I use Statcounter on my website
http://www.JohnDennerRocks.com
And I also use Go-Daddy to host the site with a service called Traffic Facts.
It seems they are both great tools but are picking up diiferent facts about my website like URL’s and Unique viewers?
How can they be getting information?
March 18th, 2008 at 3:37 pm
Either I am blind or there is no link to download the plugin?
Ivan
StatCounter Team Response:
Hi Ivan!
No, you’re definitely not having eye trouble! In order to install the plug in you must access it through a StatCounter account. The instructions are here:
* Log into your StatCounter account.
* Click the wrench icon beside your project name.
* Click the ‘install’ code link.
* Follow the wizard and when asked for your web editor choose “wordpress.com”
* Follow the remaining instructions and Bob’s your uncle!
To set up a StatCounter account click here!
Thanks for your interest in StatCounter.

Please, consider wikispaces.com as a new Blog/Web Page Editor to add an Install Guide, if necessary.
March 27th, 2008 at 11:02 am
very goooood - statcounter is the best
March 27th, 2008 at 3:05 pm
This is very similar to the analytics plugin and is also extremely easy to use! No more having to edit your templates.
March 27th, 2008 at 4:55 pm
Nice one. Definitely will use it.
March 30th, 2008 at 12:39 pm

This the best thing happened for WordPress and Statcounter. Wooohooo!!
April 12th, 2008 at 9:55 pm
Are there any plans to add number of RSS/Atom subscribers to wordpress blog. This would be a very cool feature that I am sure would be used by many many blogers.
April 13th, 2008 at 6:55 pm
i am having a problem with the statcounter…
wordpress is 2.5
but for some reason my counter is 0 : zero
any idea why ?
StatCounter Team Response:
Please check your emails!
April 15th, 2008 at 1:14 pm
Cool! Good to know that this plugin is endorsed by Statcounter. I will try this out. I use Wordpress as a CMS so I use the Pages more often. Right now, I just put the statcounter code in the footer.php file of my WP websites and it works OK so far but I need use this plugin.
April 16th, 2008 at 12:10 am
Hi there, I’ve seen my query a few times but with no response. I’ve followed all instructions from beginning to end twice now, from generating the input info (3 fields) to enabling the plugin, but nothing works - the counter’s not counting.
I gather I’m doing (or not doing) something obvious, but can’t figure out what that is.
Can anyone help? Looks like a great plugin if I can get it to work
Thanks!
StatCounter Team Response:
Please check your emails!
April 17th, 2008 at 8:56 am
I have the same problem as the dots.
What can be done?
April 17th, 2008 at 4:29 pm
I’m wondering if the problem with my counter is that I’m using the Fjords theme… anybody know? It’s got four columns.
The problem: There’s no sign of a counter anywhere and when I log in to statcounter there’s no results showing still after a few days.
StatCounter Team Response:
Please check your emails!
April 18th, 2008 at 11:53 am
What a great addition, will definitely use it…
April 18th, 2008 at 11:59 am
woohoo stats for wordpress! Thanks a lot
April 24th, 2008 at 2:18 pm
wah..now wordpress have statscounter its really gud news
April 24th, 2008 at 3:54 pm
It’s saying
* No Project ID has been provided
* No Partition ID has been provided
* No Security String has been provided
Tracking will not occur.
And I can’t find reference to these IDs on my statcounter account or in your support FAQs
cheers
StatCounter Team Response:
Hi Soggyindo,
Very sorry to hear that you’re having trouble but did you really think that we would abandon you to figure out the plug-in on your own..? Of course not!
Full instructions are provided which explain re project id etc. Go to your plug-ins page within your Wordpress console. Scroll down to your StatCounter plug in. Then click the options page!
Here you will find the instructions to guide you through:
From the generated StatCounter Code, copy the bolded sections:
‘var sc_project=1234567′ - Your Project ID
‘var sc_partition=12′ - Your Partition ID
‘var sc_security=”a1b2c3d4″‘ - Your Security String (Don’t grab the inverted commas)
If you’re still having trouble, please submit a support ticket to us - click on the support link when logged into your StatCounter account!
PS: Will update the FAQs per your suggestion - thanks!
April 25th, 2008 at 1:25 am
what happens if you’ve already generated your project and didn’t take down the numbers? how do you find them after the fact?
the page you said says
4. Click the “Configure & Install Code” button
5. Select and configure the type of counter your would like
6. Select “Wordpress.org (I pay for the hosting)” from the drop down list, then click “Next”
7. From the generated StatCounter Code, copy the bolded sections:
‘var sc_project=XXXXXXX - Your Project ID
‘var sc_partition=XX’ - Your Partition ID
‘var sc_security=”XXXXXXXX”‘ - Your Security String (Don’t grab the inverted commas)
8. Enter those details into the relevant fields below
i’ve X’d out the numbers here but i guess they’re just blank examples on my wordpress page - 123 etc. how do i - or anyone else- find them at statcounter? or do we have to make a new project?
cheers!
StatCounter Team Response:
Hi again!
Finding the numbers is easy! Just log into your account. Click the “wrench” icon beside your project. (This is the Configure & Install Button) and then follow the directions you have above!
Essentially, all you’re doing is repeating what you did the first time! Only that this time, you don’t need to download the plug-in zip file again.
Please contact us if you have further trouble!
April 25th, 2008 at 1:30 am
sorry, i mention it here just because i guess a lot of people would’ve ignored those codes until they realised they needed them!
StatCounter Team Response:
No need to apologise!
We’re very happy to help!
April 28th, 2008 at 3:36 am
hey, can i just say that the tips you said worked perfectly - great customer support - I really appreciate it!!!
April 28th, 2008 at 8:20 am
Thanks a mill for this plugin guys. Just getting into the whole blog thing and this will make a huge difference.
April 30th, 2008 at 3:05 am
The plugin doesn’t work for me either. Not counting page views.
Putting the code in the footer is giving me an error…must be the way the footer is built.
Too bad you didn’t respond to people in the comments with workarounds …I could’ve used some help.
April 30th, 2008 at 3:07 am
I got it working in the footer.
May 11th, 2008 at 3:47 pm

Nice plugin. It works.
May 18th, 2008 at 9:06 pm
what about blogger.com can we use statcounter easily with our company blogs?
thanks so much,
sandy
StatCounter Team Response:
You can of course Sandy - just log into your StatCounter account and create a new project.
Follow the instructions in the “Install Code” wizard.
Under “Installation Options” you will be asked to “please choose your Blog/Web Page Editor” - pick blogger from the list and away you go!

I’m confused with the statcounter codes and wordpress themes. All I am recording for stats are every page load as a unique visitor. My unique visitors and Page Loads increment exactly the same.
I have tried both the plugin and pasting the code into my footer.php
Is there something else I’m missing?
Any response would be greatly appreciated

with regards to putting the code in footer:

I have a WOrdpress.com blog and not a blog hosted from the Wordpress.org route. I’ve installed Statcounter but many of the reporting features don’t show detail - is this expected or have I made a mess of my StatCounter installation?
