Wordpress Stat help

mattmill · March 4th, 2007, 10:09 PM

Can anyone help me with deciphering the way SlimStat calls pages? See the attached for info. I am just starting to learn the stats programs and wondering if there is a way to have it post results in "english" so that they make sense to me. I guess I am looking for a way to get it to report the post or page title that was viewed, OR a way to understand the cryptic forms that are used.

Thanks,
matt

the above stats that you called out with arrows are actually wordpress pages that are being displayed.... simply take your website

http://mainemillers.com ... then add one of the pages you called out with arrows... for instance:

http://mainemillers.com/blog/?p=92

the "/blog/?p=92" is the permalink for one of your blog posts. There is a way to have wordpress change the structure of your permalinks... you can read up more on it here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks

Slimstat isn't doing anything wrong, it's just how you have wordpress setup to create permalinks.

Thanks Brandon,
I changed the permalink structure and I did see some changes in the stats. I will assume the ones that didn't change are older posts that were imported from wordpress.com to this site.

you would be correct... and I wouldn't change the older ones just because other sites may be linking to the old permalinks.

Brandon, I think there's a permalink redirect plugin over at the wp-plugin directory.

I know there's one for permalink slugs, so when you change it, it'll forward it.. Not sure about going from old perma to the new style.. i'll look for something... ;p
