Stats Classics: How to set?
-
-
I’m a man of few but direct words….the new stat page blows. If you do decide to allow the users what they want…put an old stat page button on the top of the page so we don’t have to scroll down to the bottom.
-
First, I readily admit that I did not read the pages proceeding my post.
Second, after two years of “wordpressing,” I am posting for the first time because of the new stat page.
Third, I am adding my voice to the chorus that is against the new stat page. I like the old stats page much better. Yes, it is the same basic info, but the difference is the old page displays it all in a reasonable manor while the new page uses large text and requires a silly amount of scrolling. (I also like the old edit page better too.)
WordPress, I appreciate the quest to innovate, but I worry that some of these changes are really an unnecessary step backward to make things easier for mobile users. While I do not want to short-change my mobile brethren, I also so not want to be forced to view things on my 32 inch screen that have been optimized to be displayed on a 3.2 inch screen. I would think defaults could be made available so that both user categories are accommodated (and happy).
Kind regards,

I mean WordPress.com prefers the newer pages to be used more—the feedback is more helpful if more people are using them.
With all due respect, designsimply….this statement makes no sense. The comments here are from people who have used both the old and the new stats pages, and prefer the old. Preferring the old stats pages has nothing to do with not having used the new stats pages “more”, i.e. it isn’t from unfamiliarity with the new pages. It’s from using both stats page designs and finding the old stats page much better designed, more informative, and more usable.

I would kindly like to point your attention to this post: https://ronovanwrites.wordpress.com/2015/01/14/new-stats-not-good/
Thank you for your time.

So, it seems they forcing us to use the new stats now. I don’t see the link to the old page anymore. Hilarious.
-
By the way, you can’t even see the exact stats when you go with the mouse over one of the bars. What a downgrade.
-
I do not use the “new, too-blue” Stats page. I have bookmarked the other 2 older Stats pages on my browser, one with the map, https://wordpress.com/my-stats and the “classic” Stats page with our own color scheme: https://yourblogname.wordpress.com/wp-admin/index.php?page=stats (insert your blog’s name before wordpress.com in the link).
I also log in and out via the classic administrative pages as the navigation on WP is not user-friendly.

Thank you dandelion, this is a great workaround but it’s a shame that WordPress doesn’t care about our opinion, pretty childish. Won’t suggest this service to anybody anymore.

No, I can’t recommend using WP either. I used to like blogging here, so it’s a shame that WP is losing the support of their older bloggers. I also like innovation but these so-called changes are anything but that, they are downgrades, not upgrades. Like others have mentioned, WP is going for the mobile users for the future.
Won’t be long and they’ll shut down this thread, too, like they do the others that have many posters and comments.

Ok I see now, the classic stats are also still available via classic dashboard: https://diaryofdennis.wordpress.com/wp-admin/
under “site stats”.They hopefully won’t remove the old classic dashboard, but they probably will as they don’t really care about the people who like the old design.
-
As we can’t even edit our posts here in the forum, you also have to insert your blog name in this case: https://yourblog.wordpress.com/wp-admin/

Yep, I see this comming. That’s their behaviour since some time now.

I’m still waiting a response to my question on this thread: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/upgraded-stats-and-changes-to-wp-interface?replies=7#post-2197614 It’s been 10 days now.
There is no respect for us bloggers. It’s sad.

@designsimply
The newer pages are preferred, and constructive feedback about them helps us make those pages better. Moving forward is better in the long term.I mean WordPress.com prefers the newer pages to be used more—the feedback is more helpful if more people are using them.We are being deliberately coerced into using the new pages, despite the fact that WP now know that they are a nuisance and in many ways deficient even for mobile use.
This is a gross contempt of those who pay your wages. I think you have become “high” on your own egos, but what goes around really does come around – eventually.

The link given to vent on this is closed.
Suddenly, I cannot use the classic stats page. Maybe I should’ve taken the time to answer the questionnaire that popped up every time I chose the old over the new.
Clearly, I don’t need to expound on this as so many others have. But I cannot even see how many total hits my blog has. Before I had an all up view and could see everything. Now, I not only cannot see anything, I can’t figure it out, nor should I have to. Please, I beg you, let those of us who care use the tools we prefer. And at all costs do NOT switch me over to the crappy new authoring UI without asking me.
I have to ask, did a bunch of Yahoo! UI designers get fired (finally) and come to work for WP, because that’s kind of how it feels. Change that is actually devolution. Were these changes made by user request or designer hubris? Stop changing things that work. You have plenty of other bugs to fix. -
jontobey, did you try these links to the 2 older Stats’ pages?
The 2 older Stats pages: one with the map, https://wordpress.com/my-stats and the “classic” Stats page with our own color scheme: https://yourblogname.wordpress.com/wp-admin/index.php?page=stats (insert your blog’s name before wordpress.com in the link).
-
Thank you. That is exactly what I’m looking for.
1) Where is this linked to or do you just have to know it?
2) Is this going to be maintained or magically disappear like it did from my previous link? -
Navigation on WP has always been difficult, so I bookmarked several administrative pages when I first started blogging in 2007.
You can get to your “classic” Stats page (the one with your own color scheme) by clicking “Site Stats” when you are on the “classic dashboard”. Do you know how to get there? Do you know that you can change the color scheme for your administrative pages?
The other Stats page is with the map, I think you can get there by clicking the link at the very bottom of the “new” Stats page.
-
Oops, sorry the link at the bottom of the “new” Stats page takes you to the “classic” Stats with your own color scheme.
I have no idea how to get to the old Stats page with the map except by the link which I have bookmarked.
