Update: WordPress Reports (0.80)

WordPress Reports (the WordPress plugin for Google Analytics and Feedburner stats) has been bumped up to version 0.80. This release includes a number of new features and optimizations. Read on for the full details, or just go download the update here.

New Google Analytics Reports. Something even Google Analytics can’t do easily: Rising Sources, Rising Content, and Falling Content. These reports don’t measure the aggregate totals, but rather the net gains and losses compared to the previous 7 days. Sometimes it’s useful to see which pages had the biggest change in unique views, rather than the pages with the most unique views. If you are upgrading from a previous version, you will need to enter the setup and enable these reports manually.

Improved Data Sync-ing. The backend parser that retrieves data from Google Analytics has been reworked, so you should hopefully see a small speed improvement, and more reliable handling of international characters. Hopefully, this will also resolve some of the “no reports data” issues some people where having.

Cleaned up file structure. Just a minor update, and only relavent if you’re upgrading the plugin. Basically, I shuffled around some files the plugin uses. See upgrading notes.txt in the new wordpress-reports directory for details.

Version Checker. This plugin now comes bundled with a new version checking plugin I wrote, which just notifies you via the WordPress Dashboard whenever a new release is available for this plugin. This feature is disabled by default, so enable the “TanTanNoodles Version Checker” plugin in your plugin’s list if you want this functionality (and I hope you do!).

That’s it for now, please leave me a note if this update works, or if it horribly breaks everything and deletes the Internet.

    I noticed the speed improvement on the very first load. Very nice! Also love the rising content and sources. Awesome job on this release.

    Even after installing the update (from .71 to .80), I’m still running into the “There was a problem logging into your Google Analytics account” error. And the login/pwd for accessing the GA account are good, because I can use them to go directly to the GA site.

    This is quite puzzling… :(

    I liked how the old one was designed. This thing seems so much slower now that you use iframes.

    I am running 2.1.2 and I can’t get it to configure as well.. get the following error:

    Cannot load tantan/tantan_reports_config.php.

  8. # Kane Mar 20, 2007

    Get exactly the same error message as Charles Como. Is this related to chmod/permissions somehow?

    charles, and kane: i think you might be loading an old url. Try disabling and re-enabling the plugin. The URL to the reports config screen should now be this:

    wp-admin/admin.php?page=tantan/wordpress-reports/ta ntan_reports_config.php

    basically got moved into a ‘wordpress-reports’ subdirectory.
