Wibstats is a WordPress plugin that gives a WordPress site, or each blog in a WordPress MU or BuddyPress installation, their own visitor statistics. The data stored includes the page viewed, date and time of visit, visitors browser, operating system and screen resolution, and the geographic location of the visitor (country and city) where it is possible to determine that information.
The plugin uses freely available APIs from several providers to determine the geographic location of the visitor. One of the APIs is chosen randomly for each visit to spread the load across each of the API providers.
A range of graphs and tables are available to users to see the visitors to their blog. WordPress MU site administrators also have the option to easily view the statistics for any particular blog, as well as for the main site.
The plugin relies on the <code>wp_footer</code> action, normally used in the footer.php file of the theme. Without this action no visitor statistics will be stored. Please check each template available to your end users to ensure they all use the <code>wp_footer action</code>.
<h3>Shortcodes</h3>
WibStats allows you to include statistics from your site in your blog posts and pages. This is done with shortcodes, simple bits of text that set some parameters for the information to display. For example:
<pre><code>[wibstats report="popularsearches"] 
</code></pre>
Will give you (for example);
<pre><code>Search Visitors
search 1 40%
search 2 30%
search 3 20%
search 4 10% 
</code></pre>
Please note these examples here are not formatted correctly (due to WordPress readme file restrictions). The proper code looks like this:
<pre><code><div class="wibstats_report [name of the report]">
<table>
 <thead>
 <tr>
 <th>Column 1</th>
 <th>Column 2</th>
 </tr>
 </thead>
 <tbody>
 <tr>
 <td>Row 1, column 1</td>
 <td>Row 1, column 2</td>
 </tr>
 <tr>
 <td>Row 2, column 1</td>
 <td>Row 2, column 2</td>
 </tr>
 </tbody>
</table>
</div>
</code></pre>
Want another example? OK:
<pre><code>[wibstats report="recentcountries"]
</code></pre>
Gives:
<pre><code>Country Time
United Kingdom 9:22 pm
United States 9:21 pm
Portugal 9:18 pm
</code></pre>
When showing country names WibStats will also show a small icon of the flag of that country.
There are quite a few different reports you can show (these go in the <code>report="report-name-here"</code> bit).
<ul>
<li><code>popularcountries</code> 
The most popular countries to visit your blog</li>
<li><code>popularcities</code> 
The most popular cities to visit your blog</li>
<li><code>recentcountries</code> 
The most recent countries to visit your blog</li>
<li><code>recentcities</code> 
The most recent cities to visit your blog</li>
<li><code>popularbrowsers</code> 
The most popular browsers to visit your blog</li>
<li><code>popularplatforms</code> 
The most popular platforms (operating systems) to visit your blog</li>
<li><code>popularscreensizes</code> 
The most popular screen sizes to visit your blog</li>
<li><code>popularsearches</code> 
The most popular search words which found your blog</li>
<li><code>recentsearches</code> 
The most recent search words which found your blog</li>
<li><code>populardays</code> 
The most popular days of the week that people visited your blog</li>
<li><code>popularhours</code> 
The most popular hours of the day that people visited your blog</li>
<li><code>popularmonths</code> 
The most popular months of the year that people visited your blog</li>
<li><code>popularreferrers</code> 
The most popular referring websites that sent visitors to your blog</li>
<li><code>recentreferrers</code> 
The most recent referring websites that sent visitors to your blog</li>
<li><code>session</code> 
A breakdown of the data associated with the current visitor to your blog (their country, city, browser etc)</li>
</ul>
A couple of other options allow you to configure these reports as they display on your posts/pages.
<pre><code>size
</code></pre>
Sets the number of items you want to show (minimum 1, maximum 100)
<pre><code>cache
</code></pre>
Sets how long you want the report to be cached for. Caching means that the report isn’t recalculated every time someone visits the page, meaning the page is a little bit faster to load.
The <code>size</code> option is set in minutes, with “0” meaning not-cached-at-all (the report is recalculated every time someone visits the page it appears on) and “-1” for cached forever (the report is generated once then remains the same forever).
So, a couple more examples:
<pre><code>[wibstats report="popularcities" size="25"]
</code></pre>
This shows the top 25 most popular cities to visit your blog.
<pre><code>[wibstats report="recentsearches" size="5" cache="0"]
</code></pre>
This shows the top 5 latest search words which brought visitors to your blog, and is not cached at all.
<pre><code>[wibstats report="popularreferrers" size="50" cache="-1"]
</code></pre>
This shows the top 50 most popular referring websites (sites that have a link to your blog) and is cached forever. This means the report will show what the top referring sites are now and will never be updated.
<h3>To-do</h3>
<ul>
<li>Stats-by-email, where Wibstats will email you daily, weekly or monthly with the latest statistics.</li>
<li>More ways to slice and dice the existing data. More graphs, perhaps using a serious graphic system (Flot, perhaps).</li>
<li>A “live” view showing who is visiting your blog Right Now</li>
<li>Storing the exit time for each page, so reports on how long people spent on your site can be built</li>
<li>More reports on average pages per visitor</li>
</ul>
Any further ideas will be gratefully received.

DO NOT USE THIS PLUGIN! 
 It is outdated, not maintained and frankly there are better plugins to use.

bbRedirector makes it easy to redirect a page to another location using absolute urls from within WordPress. 
No mod_rewrite nor .htaccess is needed. You just create a page, add a specific customfield and choose the 
redirect template included with this plugin. It even allows you to set the required http status code (302 or 301). 
You can also set a default sitewide redirection or setup your own custom redirection.
The included templates should give you an easy start using this plugin.
