StatTraq Site Statistics Plugin and Adding It to the Admin Menu

By Chad Butler Leave a Comment

In my previous blog, I was used a plugin called StatTraq for getting site statistics. It was fairly easy to set up as it was a WordPress plugin. So it was logical that, now that Randy Peterman has updated his plugin for WordPress 1.5, that I install StatTraq for this blog as well.

You can download the beta (1.0b) here.

Also, here’s a little trick. Once you get it installed, if you want to add a link to your admin menu to jump over to StatTraq, follow the steps below.

  1. Go to /wp-admin/ and find “menu.php”
  2. Make a copy of the original file as a backup (just in case)
  3. At line 14 you should see the following line:

    $menu[40] = array(__(‘Options’), 6, ‘options-general.php’);

  4. Insert the following as a new line after this line:

    $menu[45] = array(__(‘StatTraq’), 8, ‘../wp-stattraq/’);

  5. Upload your new menu.php file

That’s it, you’re done! Go to your admin panel, and you should see the link for StatTraq in your menu.
