Description:
iRedlof Google Analytics(GA) Stats is a wordpess admin panel plugin, I developed it cos i like to manage everything from one place. This plugin is like wordpress .com stats plugin but the difference between the two is that wordpress.com stats works with wordpress analytics stats system and iRedlof GA Stats works with google analytics stats system.
Using this plugin, you get your GA stats straight from your account on google to your wordpress admin panel. Right now this plugin is in development phase and only have limited features i.e. visits/day, pageviews/day, etc to focus on just the most popular metrics a blogger wants to track and provide them in a clear and concise interface, but the full version will be loaded will all the features of google analytics which will provide you with an incredible depth of information.
To use this plugin you need google analytics account, if you don’t have one, then you can get it from here.
Installation/Use:
Installing iRedlof GA Stats plugin is very easy i.e. just copy the plugin folder in your wordpress plugin folder and then activate it from plugin section in your admin panel and Done!.
1. Upload `iRedlof-GA-Stats` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
3. To use this plugin goto Settings tab and click iRedlof GA Stats
4. Done
Using this plugin is also as simple as installing it, You you need to do is goto your settings sidebar tab in your wordpress admin panel and click on iRedlof GA Stats link, In that page click login button, which will redirect you to google login page, where you need to login in your google analytics account and click on allow button to let this plugin access you account on GA Website. Rest i think you can figure it out.

This is a promising plugin! I think You have lots of work in the project, but unfortunately I can get the graphs to work. I’ve logged in, accepted the access to the account, selected my site’s GA tracking number, but the stats.
But this is just the first release… keep the good work!
Dont You plan to add multi profiles, and shortcode placement feature?

Epox, Thanks for your comment.
and 1 thing i want to ask that, Did you mean to say that your got the graph to work, or by mistake you mis-spelled it.
i m assuming that u did not get it to work, well in that case, tell me what you are getting when you click the show/update graph button after setting your account, etc setting, so that i can help you with that cos its working fine with me.

Hi!
I think it´s a great plugin, if it works. I can´t see anything. Same as epox. Login is okay, I see my 4 ID, but I didn´t see a graph. There´s only a white field.
First I´ve thougt that´s “Ozh’ Admin Drop Down Menu”-plugin is the reason, but with the normal wp-admin it´s the same.
I hope you´ll can find the error. And many thanks for your work. Your plugin is a great idea.

I can’t get it to work either. Does it supposed to insert a correct code for Google Analytics into every post & page on the site? Google Analytics complains that it does not see that code on my site. I’m attaching a screenshot of what it looks like:

Terrie, you can try installing this plugin by manually uploading this folder in you wp-content/plugins folder on your webserver, cos right now there are some issues with package installation.
Plus i would like to inform you and other iRedlof users that within 1 week an Updated Stable Version of this plugin will be released..
Its is much more advance than the current version.
As a first look of this plugin, you can check out its snapshots, which i will be posting on this post by tomorrow.

I get a terrible error message when I go into settings and it kicks me out of my website.

disable the plugin and download the updated version of this plugin which will be released in 1 week. The version you are using is a beta version and there are many issues with that version.
if you are unable to disable that plugin from plugin page, then delete iRedlof-GA-PLugin Folder from you webserver /wp-content/plugins folder.
if you need additional help.. comment here

May 14th, 2009 at 10:53 am
I’ve installed the latest version, but it will not let me login. When I click on “Login” from the “wp-admin/admin.php?page=iRedlof-GA-Stats.php” page, the site does nothing.
May 14th, 2009 at 11:13 am
Travis,
i need to check it..
create one subscriber account for me and post the details here.. the plugin would be accessible to me in dashboard as a subscriber…
b.t.w which wordpress version are you using, cos its not allowing me to goto login page.. always redirecting me to search page..
also post the link to login page.
May 14th, 2009 at 10:58 pm
I added this page to Reddit
May 15th, 2009 at 8:54 am
If you dont mind, I’d really rather email that info in to you. I’m not sure if I should post that publicly. You’ve got my email in WP, so just hit me up and I’ll reply with all the info you’ve requested.
Thanks!

All I see is a big blank white spot and then the how to instructions. No login button.
July 15th, 2009 at 1:27 pm
Well I like the fact that it works
A lot of the others dont for me..
Im using 2.8.1..
And it just starts on seemingly random dates.. Id like to be able to have it just show the last month.. instead of like.. april 09 to may 09… i dont want to have to pick dates every day
Any thoughts?
August 4th, 2009 at 2:46 am
Hi. Easy install no problems. But I agree with the previous post: How do we get it to come up with relevant dates? My dates always show a couple of months ago.
August 28th, 2009 at 8:21 am
hey guys,
Thanks for using this plugin and bringing bugs into my notice, i guess this plugin needs additional refinment.
will surely work it out and release the upgraded version asap.
