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.

This is a very simple and lightweight plugin that anonymizes default avatars and prevents the user’s gravatar being automatically obtained from gravatar.com based on their registered email. This would be useful for sites where users require an extra layer of privacy, or if you just want to prevent potentially silly or embarrasing avatar accidents.
If you’re using Identicons or any other generated default avatar, the user should keep a consistent avatar unless they change their registered email.
You can also disable Gravatar completely and choose a default image to display.
This plugin is also compatible with other avatar customization plugins such as <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/avatar-manager/" rel="ugc">Avatar Manager</a>, <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress/" rel="ugc">BuddyPress</a> or <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/add-new-default-avatar/" rel="ugc">Add New Default Avatar</a>, since this plugin specifically prevents the gravatar of a specific user email being used and reverts to the default or user-defined avatar.
Important 3.0 Update – BuddyPress users should visit the Settings > Discussion page on your dashboard and choose one of the Disable Gravatar options to restore previous behavior.
If you have any issues or suggestions, please visit our <a href="https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/disable-user-gravatar" rel="ugc">support forums</a>.

Disable User Gravatar

The plugin is a must-have for each WordPress installation. One can't process the email of the user (personal information) to create a hash and sent it to a remote server without consent of the user.

Must-have

Stops WordPress from grabbing a user avatar using their registrated email from gravatar.com.
