chCounter Widget 2.8
After a long pause in plugin development I have begun to catch up with some coding work. As first step I have decided to remove the chCounter bundle from the Plugin due to installation and permission problems. Version 2.8 is now almost the same as the 2.6 versions except that the checkbox to make the counter invisible is part of the widget control panel and not general options.
Before installing the plugin you have to download chCounter and install it in any directory on your server. Next unzip the plugin files into the Wordpress plugin directory and activate it through the administration webinterface. Go to the settings page and insert the path to the directory where you have installed chCounter previously and add counter parameters to your list. You are now set to add the widget to a sidebar.
In this way chCounter can be installed and upgraded separately. In the end having it bundled with the plugin didn’t give that much advantage, but only several problems with file permissions and bug fixes.
Hello from Russia!
Can I quote a post in your blog with the link to you?
Of course
Always show:
Could not find the chcounter installation. Please check your settings.
I dont´t understand how to configure this information:
chCounter Path /home/xxx/public_html/xxxx/ path to your chCounter installation NOT this plugin
You first need to install chCounter from http://chcounter.org. Extract the zip file on your webserver, configure and install it. Afterwards put in the chCounter Widget Options the path to where you have extraced the chCounter zip file before.
Hi, i have download the “installation” pack form the link , i have download the plugin, then uploaded the “installation pack” to my main folder of my wordpress (wp), uploaded the plugin and actived it, then i have put the path from root”/wp/chCounter_3.1.3-full” but tell me in the front end display (widget on my blog) that the path is wrong…

chCounter: MySQL error!
Error number: 0
Script stopped.
uhuuu iam lost ^^^^
You also have to install the counter. First edit includes/config.inc.php to reflect your MySQL Server Settings. You can take the same as in wp-config.php. Next do the installation via the webinterface. In your case you should go to
and follow the instructions.

I am unable to get the wordpress widget working.
I have updated the PATH to the chCounter intallation (not the plugin) but the drag and drop feaure to add items does not work: I can not drop the items.
My provider is OVH.
WP version is 2.8.4 in french.
chCounter is configured to be in french.
Any idea ?
hello,
It works now. The issue was just the place where i was trying to drop the boxes.
Thanks for this plugin / wideget.
Hi,
Thanks for the great plugin. I’ve installed it and it works fantastically in English. However, I’m having problems with converting the display text to chinese, e.g. “Total visitors:”, “Visitors today:”, “Visitors yesterday:”, “Counter started:”, “Page views today:”, “Page views yesterday:”, “Your own page views:”, etc.
I’ve changed the chcounter-widget.php file with the translated text and also change the collation on the database to utf8-general-ci. However, all I see is ????? in the sidebar, where I have placed this widget.
Please can you help?
Thanks very much.
thanks for this help sir, now its working 100% correctly. take care
