Accessing Settings

Navigate to Statnive > Settings in your WordPress admin. Settings are organized into tabs: General, Privacy, Tracking, and Advanced.

General Tab

  • Dashboard Default Range — Choose between Today, Last 7 Days, or Last 30 Days as the default date range when you open the dashboard. We recommend Last 7 Days for most sites.
  • Date Format — Select how dates appear in the dashboard. Options follow your WordPress general settings by default.
  • Admin Bar Widget — Toggle the mini visitor counter that appears in the WordPress admin bar. Enabled by default for Administrator and Editor roles.

Privacy Tab

  • Do Not Track (DNT) — Respect the DNT browser header. Enabled by default.
  • Global Privacy Control (GPC) — Respect the GPC signal. Enabled by default.
  • Salt Rotation Interval — How often the visitor hashing salt rotates. Default is daily (24 hours). Shorter intervals increase privacy but reduce same-day accuracy slightly.
  • Bot Filtering — Automatically exclude known bots and crawlers from analytics. Uses a maintained list of 1,500+ bot user-agent patterns.

Tracking Tab

  • Excluded Roles — Choose which WordPress user roles to exclude from tracking. By default, Administrator visits are excluded.
  • Excluded IP Ranges — Add CIDR ranges to exclude from tracking (e.g., your office IP).
  • Track Search Queries — Record the search terms visitors use on your site’s internal search. Disabled by default for privacy.
