Feed Subscriber Stats 3

DOWNLOAD FEED SUBSCRIBER STATS 3!

Feed Subscriber Stats was originally developed to simply display the number of RSS feed subscribers on your WordPress Dashboard. Version 3 expands the plugin further with new exciting features. So what’s new?

Graphing

The major improvement of version 3 adds an archiving feature. With this feature you can view the number of subscribers and hits from as far back as January 1, 2008. This data is then plotted on a graph which will allow you to view yearly trends and subscriber fluctuations.

Support for WP 2.7 and up ONLY!

I have made it a point to not support versions of WordPress older than 2.7. I understand that this may be harsh for some, but it’s not logical to be supporting outdated software.

Support for PHP 5 and up ONLY!

PHP 5 was released in 2004! I think it’s about time we stop supporting older versions of PHP, frankly because there isn’t any more support for PHP 4 anymore, which opens the doors for security risks.

Bug Reporting

Do you have an issue with this plugin?
Are you running WordPress 2.7 or higher?
Does your server run PHP 5?
Do you have the Feedburner Awareness API activated?

If you answered YES to all three questions, please post a comment below explaining your issue.

If you don’t have an issue and you are happy with the plugin, let me know by commenting below.
