TD Word Count v0.51 now available
You can now download v0.51 at the TD Word Count page. This version adds one new section: “This Month Published Activity” which shows the published post activity by author for the current month as shown below:

If you click on the number of posts, it will reload the page with the all post stats hidden and show the detailed post counts. Also in this release:
- pages are separated out from post counts and shown (see green arrows in screenshot). The pages are still shown within the “All Stats” section under published or unpublished depending on the status of the post.
- fixed a bug with author month sorting in v0.43. Ordering is now oldest to newest and should display correctly.
- some other minor tweaks here and there
- compatible with Wordpress 2.3.x branch
v0.51 has been tested in the most current version of Wordpress on several different blogs (one with nearly 5,000 posts). If you have any comments or questions on the plugin, consider the comments section below the official place to give feedback on version 0.51.

Your plugin is spectacular! I recommend the following modification:
Change line 160 from: ‘ total all words from ‘ to: ‘ total words from ‘
The additional of “all” doesn’t look right.
Also, would it be possible to use the “Nickname” or “Display Name” instead of Username for the Monthly breakdown?
Like I said, spectacular plugin.
Best regards,
Brian…

Hi Brian,
Thank you for using the plugin and glad you like it.
Total ‘all’ words represents the total of both unpublished and published words . It might not look right as written and I’m certainly open to changing to something else, but it beats writing the longer “total unpublished and published.” In the meantime since you already know where in the source code the word is there, just strike and upload for your version
As for the other recommended change and I’ll have to do some more checking on this one but I’m not sure there is always a display name/nickname (it’s not a required field) which would require adding code to revert to the user nicename to display anyway, otherwise it would show nothing when this field isn’t filled out.
Since it’s something only shown in the admin area and not something shown publically, I’m not hugely motivated to change (but will strongly consider adding as option in future), but in the meantime you could easily change this code by altering lines 39-41:
change “user_nicename” to:
to
“nickname”
OR
“display_name”
Thanks again for using the plugin and offering some suggestions to improve future versions.

Thank you for the clarifications. Based upon what you wrote I understand the purpose of the “all” and therefore feel no reason to change the code. With regards to the lines 39-41 change, I appreciate the suggestion.
