Description

Data Dashboard turns your WordPress blog statistics into a clean, large-screen visualization. It reads directly from your site’s own database (cached via WordPress transients) and renders charts with ECharts.

Features

Admin self-check for data capability (database, core tables, cache, theme IP library, mail, etc.)
Optional password protection for the front-end (shared password, remembered 7 days via cookie)
Pick which data modules to show and drag to reorder them
Configurable cache lifetime
Three front-end entry points, all sharing the same password / module / order settings:
- Shortcode [xiaodada_dashboard] (drop into any page or post, follows your theme)
- Theme page /data-dashboard/ (with your theme header, footer and sidebar)
- Standalone page /data-dashboard-standalone/ (fully independent, no theme markup)
Visualization modules: overview, monthly post trend, category distribution, top tags, top comment phrases, visitor province map (China), monthly comment trend, post status, weekly / hourly distribution, posting-time heatmap, yearly comparison, media types, top commented posts, latest posts, comment / tag word cloud.
Traffic dimensions (probing): PV / UV trend, source breakdown, device / browser split (uses WP Statistics when available), top read posts.

Installation

Upload the data-dashboard folder to /wp-content/plugins/.
Activate “Data Dashboard” in Plugins.
(Optional) For the “visitor province” module, make sure your active theme ships an ip2c/ip2c.php plus a pure IP database (.dat), for example the xiaochen theme. Otherwise just disable that module in the admin.
Go to Data Dashboard in the admin menu to set the password, modules and order, then save.
Visit any of the three entry points above. You can create or rebuild the two pages with one click under Data Dashboard -> Front-end pages.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where does the data come from?

Changelog

1.1.1

Security: brute-force protection now trusts only the direct server IP (REMOTE_ADDR) instead of spoofable client-supplied headers (X-Forwarded-For / HTTP_CLIENT_IP), and stores all attempt/lock counters in a single fixed-key transient with a size cap, preventing storage pollution from forged IPs.

1.1.0

Compliance: prefix all declarations, globals and stored data with a unique xiaodada_ prefix (was wpdd_, which is not allowed as it starts with the reserved word “wp”).
Compliance: enqueue admin page CSS/JS via admin_enqueue_scripts instead of inline <style> / <script> tags.
Security: upgrade bundled ECharts to 6.1.0 and jsPDF to 4.2.1 (fixes CVE-2026-25535 etc.), localize the previously remote pdfobject reference.
Maintenance: automatic one-time migration of options / page shortcodes from 1.0.x.
