bbPress

• Install the complete mini-stats/ directory into my-plugins/ and activate.

• Change defaults if desired by editing options at the top of the plugin until an admin menu is made.

• This plugin inserts itself into the footer automatically, no template edits required unless you want custom placement.

• ONLY if you want CUSTOM placement, edit your footer.php template (or other template) to add the info like so:

  <div id="footer">
      <?php mini_stats(1);  // general statistics ?>
      <p><?php printf(__('%1$s is proudly powered by <a href="%2$s">bbPress</a>.'), bb_option('name'), "http://bbpress.org") ?></p>
  </div>
  

In the above example the (1) indicates don't show extended info, ie. usernames. (2) would also show usernames.

• it is highly recommend you put this line in your bb-config.php which will help with database performance on active forums by loading all bbPress options at once instead of piecemeal

  $bb->load_options = true;
