Delete Old Data & Author Analytics Dashboards

July 29, 2024
Added new option to delete data older than X days/years

There’s now an option in the Analytics > Settings menu where you can choose to delete data older than X days/years. This allows you to limit how much data is stored. Data that is older than the set threshold gets deleted daily at midnight.

Added option to let authors see stats for their own content only

It’s always been possible to give authors and other non-admins access to the analytics. Now, you can let them see stats for their own content only, so they can’t see stats for any other pages.

Added option to hide the view counter label

The public view counter has a customizable label, and now that label can be hidden completely if desired.

Added support for tracking custom forms via a new PHP hook PRO

If you’re using Independent Analytics Pro, you can track submissions for custom-made forms. Check out the developer documentation here.

Added form tracking integrations for the Bit Form, Forminator, and Hustle plugins PRO

Form tracking now automatically records submissions for any forms made with Bit Form, Forminator, and Hustle.

Added Turkish translation

Independent Analytics is now fully translated into Turkish.

Updated copy to make it clear that IP addresses get ignored, not blocked

The IP blocking feature doesn’t block IPs from accessing your site; it only ignores them in the statistics. We’ve rewritten these details in the settings menu for clarity.

improved display of long column headings in the data table

Long column headings are now abbreviated and appear in full when hovered over.

Improved display of numerous chart metrics

Some chart metrics, like bounce rate, were showing a range of 0-100% in the axis. This made analysis difficult because the ranges are often from 85-95%. Metrics like this now show a smaller range of values in the axis.

Dark mode styles added for all modal windows and sub-menus

The dark mode styles weren’t applied to modals in the Analytics menu.

Filters were loading extremely slowly for some sites using MariaDB

There was an option that could be set for sites using MariaDB that made text-based filters run extremely slowly.

The chart was not saving “No comparison” if selected as the second metric

It was impossible to save a report showing only one metric in the chart due to this bug.

Top 10 lists in Real-time analytics report missing data. PRO

The Top 10 lists in the Real-time analytics report were missing data from sessions that lasted longer than 5 minutes. If a visitor stayed on the site for longer than 5 minutes, their page views after the first 5 minutes wouldn’t appear in the Top 10 lists.

WooCommerce metrics in the chart always used the dollar sign instead of the store’s preferred currency PRO

The chart metrics now use the currency defined by the store.

Some English text was not marked for translation
