    GoodGookamooga Man, this thing is astounding! Your handywork has spared me some serious spam-related aggravation. Many many thanks!!

    June 13th, 2005 at 6:06 am

    Actually Pam, it is not my plugin that stops the spam, it is Bad Behavior that does the job.

    This plugin only provides the stats for Bad Behavior.

    Have installed bad behavior Stats in plugins, changed $add_footer to true but nothing shows in the footer on my test blog. Have tried 3 different skons/templates. Where have I gone wrong?

  4. Ajay says:
    June 17th, 2005 at 7:57 pm

    Please check if the footer.php of your theme contains <?php wp_footer(); ?>

    Alternatively, and a more preferable method would be to use the code above.

  5. Ray says:
    June 17th, 2005 at 8:14 pm

    Yes, it does. Where exactly would I put the alternative code?

  6. Ajay says:
    June 17th, 2005 at 10:06 pm

    Anywhere you want to display it.

    e.g. you could put it in the footer.php file like I have here on my website.

  7. Ray says:
    June 17th, 2005 at 11:29 pm

    Thanks. It’s working now.

  8. Rori says:

    I am getting the following error:

    WordPress database error: [Table 'cmblog.bad_behavior_log' doesn't exist]
    SELECT COUNT(`id`) FROM `bad_behavior_log` WHERE `http_response` = ‘403′

    Did I miss a step?

  9. Ajay says:
    June 19th, 2005 at 7:22 pm

    Did you install Bad Behavior?

  10. Rori says:
    June 20th, 2005 at 4:47 am

    No, Ajay, and thank you. Sorry for being so dumb.

  11. Ajay says:
    June 20th, 2005 at 6:08 am

    Your welcome.

    And I do hope you installed it, because Bad Behavior is simply one of the best spam blocking plugins you will find :)

  12. Turk says:
    June 20th, 2005 at 11:20 am

    I’m having a problem with your plugin (it could just be me). I have in my footer. The text that is displayed is this:

    Bad Behavior has blocked access attempts in the last 7 days.

    I have checked in myphpadmin and Bad Behavior has blocked over 14 spambots so far. I was wondering what I’m doing wrong?

  13. Ajay says:
    June 20th, 2005 at 11:28 am

    What is the PHP code that you are adding in the footer of your page?

  14. Turk says:
    June 20th, 2005 at 11:51 am

    Let me try that again. I’m just using bb_block_count().

  15. Ajay says:
    June 20th, 2005 at 12:10 pm

    The code above works fine here on my blog.

    Try using this:
    <?php if (function_exists('bb_block_count')) bb_block_count(3,false,false); ?>

    Check your error_log if your site is reporting any errors.

  16. Code says:
    June 21st, 2005 at 6:38 am

    Ajay,

    I am getting this error:

    WordPress database error: [Table 'spid3r_wp.bad_behavior_log' doesn't exist]
    SELECT COUNT(`id`) FROM `bad_behavior_log` WHERE `http_response` = ‘403′

    Bad Behavior has blocked access attempts in the last 7 days.

    The BB plugin IS installed and ACTIVATED. I can go into phpmyadmin and see the table is there. Any thoughts?

  17. Ajay says:
    June 21st, 2005 at 11:44 am

    Code,

    I have responded to you via email.

  18. Fr. Daniel says:
    June 25th, 2005 at 8:43 pm

    I’ve installed the plugin and inserted the code but I’m getting the following message where the output should be:

    WordPress database error: [Table 'username_wordpress.WP_BB_LOG' doesn't exist]
    SELECT COUNT(`id`) FROM `WP_BB_LOG` WHERE `http_reponse` = ‘403′

    Bad Behavior has blocked access attempts in the last 7 days.

    I’m a bit ignorant when it comes to SQL; it appears this might be a table problem related to the BB plugin instead of the stats plugin. (”Username” has my real username.) Any ideas?

    Thanks for your help!

  19. Ajay says:
    June 26th, 2005 at 7:04 pm

    Hello Fr. Daniel,

    Do you have the latest version (1.1.2) of Bad Behavior installed.
    If not, then you will receive this error, as my plugin is not able to recognize the database.

  20. Fr. Daniel says:
    June 27th, 2005 at 12:12 am

    Ajay, thanks. I didn’t realize I was using an old version of BB. Everything is working fine now. :D

  21. Ajay says:
    June 27th, 2005 at 11:29 am

    Your welcome. Glad to be of help :)

  22. Anja says:

    I get this on the page where the info is supposed to be displayed on the site. http://www.luisandcarla.com

    Please install / activate Bad Behavior.

    yes it is activated and I’m even able to see the options–>BBStats page.

    Any Idea?

  26. Ajay says:
    July 29th, 2005 at 7:44 pm

    What you have installed in Bad Behavior Stats. You need to install Bad Behavior as well.

  27. GaryP says:
    August 11th, 2005 at 6:02 am

    Well, I must be doing something wrong. Just updated the BB to 1.1.72 and your stats to 1.5 - but I get nothing. I have both lines in my footer:

    and lower:

    All worked fine before I updated. Wondering if I have done something wrong with either BB or the stats.

    Thanks!

  28. GaryP says:
    August 11th, 2005 at 6:03 am

    Oops, and I forgot - and this may be the key - The BBStats shows up in the menu under Options but nothing displays. No options are displayed for me to change - very weird.

  29. Ajay says:
    August 11th, 2005 at 6:10 am

    BBStats works fine with 1.1.4

    I’ve just installed BB 1.1.72 and it works fine here.

    I am still unaware of why the options are not being displayed in your admin panel as this is the first time I have received this feedback.

    Is it possible for you to try out BB 1.1.4 and let me know if the problem still exists with BBStats?

    August 16th, 2005 at 4:37 pm

    hi again ajay. the site i’m building for a client is coming along pretty decent. i’m happy with the way i was able to integrate macromedia flashpaper using Kimili Flash Embed WP Plug-In. I’m gonna take a more business approach to the site and decided on installing your BB plug in for showing the stats. It worked great and installed like a breeze. I wanted to know how i could center it and have the text style match the size and font in my footer. could you give me pointer on how to get this done?

  33. Ajay says:
    August 16th, 2005 at 8:30 pm

    What you will need to do is style your text using CSS. Just put in the following code into your theme’s style.css

    #bbstats { text-align:center; font-size:0.8em }

    0.8em means 80% the default text size. Modify it as you wish.

    Then in the footer.php or whereever you are adding the BBStats code use the following:

    <div id="bbstats"><?php if (function_exists('bb_block_count')) bb_block_count(); ?></div>

  34. marco garcia says:
    August 17th, 2005 at 2:07 pm

    ajay, thank you for the little tutorial. i actually learned a little about how the function works with css. that was very informative. i’m really happy to see that work. my stats are showing perfectly and centered. another question if you don’t mind? how do i bring that line up flush under my other statement in the header? it seems to be about 3-4 lines below where i would actually like it to be. i wasn’t able to figure out how to get it up a few lines so that it can fit flush.

  35. thesuperstar says:
    September 22nd, 2005 at 9:08 pm

    thanks. i just uploaded the plugin, looks good.

  36. sfong says:
    October 12th, 2005 at 3:44 pm

    Ajay,

    Is it this plugin which gives the “some stats” on the sidebar of this theme? What I’m really after is a plugin to show number of unique visitors. Thanks.

  37. Ajay says:
    October 12th, 2005 at 5:42 pm

    No this is not. This is a plugin to show number of blocked stats by Bad Behavior, you see it in the footer of this theme.

    I use many different plugins to display some stats.

    For unique visitors I use http://www.statcounter.com

  38. Jenny says:
    November 18th, 2005 at 11:33 am

    wee i got it working. i likey it.

  39. Paul says:
    December 9th, 2005 at 5:29 am

    Hi,

    I’ve installed the plug in and everything seems fine, but i’m not clear what code to put where. What I want to do is to be able to view these stats myself but not allow anyone else to see them (for noe at least). Is there a way to do that?

    Thanks.

  40. Ajay says:
    December 9th, 2005 at 9:23 am

    Read this.

  41. Dave says:
    December 10th, 2005 at 12:25 pm

    Thanks for writing this plugin…makes it a bit easier to monitor Bad Behavior. One modification I made to the plugin admin panel was to include the stats output right there, so I didn’t have to actually display it on my webpage.

  42. Will says:
    January 11th, 2006 at 3:21 pm

    Hello,

    My problem is that it always reports:

    Bad Behavior has blocked 0 access attempts in the last 7 days.

    :( Though BB has blocked more like 200 in the last 7 days.

    I movied my web site from one domain to another so maybe that’s the problem? Even though I did a new install and new mysql datbase. After all I am not getting any errors or anything.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks,

    Will

  43. Ajay says:
    January 11th, 2006 at 9:50 pm

    Will please post your query in the support forum.

    Additionally provide more information like the version of BB and BB Stats you are using.

  44. Will says:
    January 12th, 2006 at 8:47 am

    Hey,

    Well today I checked this post and my site as I was about to as you asked and what do you know it’s working now all of a sudden. I changed nothing.

    So have no idea what happened.

    Well, just glad it works now. :)

    Thanks again and sorry for wasting your time to asset me, though I do appreciate it, a lot at that.

    Take Care,

    Will

  45. Ajay says:

    Also which mod are you using for comments? ..it shows the preview to.. lemme know plz!

  47. Ajay says:
    January 23rd, 2006 at 6:41 am

    sunny,

    Do not post support questions here. Redirect them to the support forum.

  48. Marcus says:
    April 14th, 2006 at 6:34 am

    I think my stats keep showing random numbers…
    ex: in the same day it can display 7, then after a while it changes to 6, etc.

    any idea?

  49. Andy says:
    June 26th, 2006 at 9:11 pm

    Hi, thought you’d like to know the plugin doesn’t work with Bad Behaviour 2 beta, which I’ve switched to because of the benefits it provides even as a beta - notably it’s significantly better in not blocking incorrectly configured government servers, which the old version did.

  50. Ajay says:
    June 27th, 2006 at 9:07 am

    Yes I am aware. I too am using the beta on this site.

    I’m working on a better stats program for several 3rd party programs integrated.

    The BB Beta has inbuilt stats display.

  51. MHC says:
    July 14th, 2006 at 7:53 pm

    Will be waiting for an update to your great BBStats plugin. I have just installed this morning BB 2.0.1 (official, not beta) and sad to say that BBStats doesn’t work anymore.

  52. Ajay says:
    July 14th, 2006 at 9:00 pm

    Hi MHC,

    Am aware of the incompatibility of my plugin with Bad Behavior.

    Though, BB2.x has inbuilt stats display, it has not much customization.

    I will release a new version of BBStats which will be compatible with BB2.x

  53. MHC says:
    July 14th, 2006 at 10:20 pm

    Super groovy! Thanks for all the work you put in this! :D

  54. Ajay says:
    July 14th, 2006 at 10:28 pm

    Well it’s users like you that keep me going

  55. Ajay says:
    July 17th, 2006 at 6:01 pm

    @MHC, have updated the code and tested it on this blog (see at the bottom).

    Will release the new version soon :)

  56. MHC says:
    July 18th, 2006 at 1:12 am

    Oh thank you thank you thank you! I kiss your feet. *smooch*

    This girl finds the lack of the BB plugin’s stats customization a bit frustrating. Especially my WP theme’s footer doesn’t take it too kindly. Bleh.

    Thanks again Ajay! You are a gem!

  57. MHC says:
    July 18th, 2006 at 1:15 am

    OMG!!! I just looked at your stats for the past 7 days, Ajay! Yikes!!! That’s a lot of bad behaviour all right! :shock:

    If I can I will put my stats in the sidebar. That’s where I had set it up the last time and that’s where it looks best.

  58. Ajay says:
    July 18th, 2006 at 6:22 am

    The lack of customization is one the main reasons why I am continuing with BBStats (had thought of discontinuing it)

    I’m also working to see if I can create a WordPress Widget as well. Not sure if I will do that with this release.

    Just need to test its functionality on WordPress 1.5.x and BB1.x before the release :)

  59. MHC says:
    July 18th, 2006 at 7:03 pm

    Cool stuff, kind sir! Looking forward to that release! *thumbsup*

    Does this plugin works with Bad Behavior 2.0.2?! It doesn’t seem so. :-(
