WordPress.com Stats Smiley Remover Plugin

When you install the WordPress.com Stats plugin from WordPress it adds a small, simple graphic to your posts which looks like a small smiley face. Generally it’s located in the footer of your theme but no matter how hard you try, you won’t be able to find it (or remove it) from the code.

Why?

The smiley face is actually being loaded through a series of JavaScript calls from a remote server, the graphic isn’t actually located on your website at all! It’s part of the WordPress.com Stats plugin and is designed to help track visitors to your website but … it’s kinda ugly and a pain in the ass so to get rid of it all you need to do is add some code to your header.php file. Specifically, open your style.css file and add the following CSS:

[source lang="css"]img#wpstats{display:none;}[/source]

If you’re absolutely petrified of opening and editing your CSS files directly you can either pay a WordPress expert to do it for you (that’s the choice that my wife always prefers) or you can download my simple plugin which can be uploaded to your website and activated, automatically adding the code to the proper place.

How to Install

Download the plugin
Log into your WordPress Admin (http://[yourwebsite]/wp-admin
Surf to Plugins -> Add New
Select the ZIP file and Install Now
Activate the Plugin

For those of you who would like to know more about the Smiley Face frustrustration, Ryan Imel wrote a great piece on it a while back and there’s also a great piece on My Digital Life.

How You Can Help

I love developing plugins for WordPress and do my best to always keep them free but of course it take a lot of time and effort to build these plugins so if you’d like to say thanks, the best way is to take a few moments and write about the plugin on your own website, include a link to my website from your posts or download and rate the plugin on the official plugin directory.

Support forums are now online! If you have any questions, please visit http://forums.thisismyurl.com.

Fundraising Thermometer Plugin for Wordpress

94 Comments

The plugin interface, for WordPress

Features

The fund raising tool is a true WordPress plug-in, testing with WordPress 2.7 and fully functional. It features:

W3C compliant Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)
Dynamically updated text including target and current fund status
Money formating options for use internationally
Theme options, allowing designers to customize the look of the thermometer
Call either the graphic or a formated number to display in text.

Admin Features

The new interface allows uses to set both the current amount (what has been raised) as well as the target amount (what you want to raise). The script automatically generates the ten steps in between and displays them for the user.

The plugin auto detects if the money_format() function is present and will use it automatically if found, otherwise it will display the currency using the number format function automatically.

How It Works

To display the current amount of money raised (in currently format) place the following code in your theme:

<?php echo show_ourprogress();?>

For a graphical version (by default the thermometer), include the following code:

<?php show_ourprogress_graphic();?>

Where to Get It

The plugin can be downloaded from the official WordPress repository:
