Listing Count
[statsify type="listing-count"][statsify type=”listing-count” listing_type=”Hotels”]

category | Filter by category slug (e.g., "italian", "luxury"). |

All filters are optional and can be combined. Without any filters, it shows the total count of all published listings.

| Attribute | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
user_id | Required | The WordPress user ID to look up. |
date_format | d F Y | PHP date format string. For example, "d F Y" outputs “19 February 2026”, "d M Y" outputs “19 Feb 2026”. |
Button Clicks

[statsify type="button-clicks" id="123"]Displays click tracking data for the listing’s action buttons, using MyListing’s built-in tracking system. Each tracked button is shown with its name and click count.
Star Ratings

key | empty (all) | Filter to a specific review category by its key. When empty, all review categories are displayed. |
display_review_count | false | When "true", appends the total review count in parentheses next to the stars, e.g., ★★★★☆ (12). |
with_title | false | When "true", shows the review category label (e.g., “Service”, “Value”). |

Using in MyListing Preview Cards
The shortcode works inside MyListing’s preview card builder. Use the [[:id]] dynamic tag to pass the current listing’s ID automatically:
[statsify type="bookmarks" id=[[:id]]]
[statsify type="views" id=[[:id]]]
[statsify type="reviews" id=[[:id]]]
[statsify type="stars" id=[[:id]] display_review_count="true"]For clean numeric output without any HTML wrapper (useful inside conditional logic or other shortcodes):
[statsify type="views" id=[[:id]] remove_tags="true"]Display Options
You can control how each stat is displayed using the global attributes:
Show with label and icon (default):
[statsify type="views"]Show with label, no icon:
[statsify type="views" with_title="true" with_icon="false"]Show icon only, no label:
[statsify type="views" with_icon="true" with_title="false"]Raw number only (no HTML):
[statsify type="views" remove_tags="true"]Add a custom CSS class:
[statsify type="bookmarks" class="my-custom-class"]CSS Customization
The plugin includes its own stylesheet. You can override styles in your child theme’s CSS or via Appearance → Customize → Additional CSS:
/* Change the icon background color on single listing pages */
.single-listing .statsify-icon {

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a settings page?
No. The plugin has no settings page — everything is controlled through shortcode attributes. Just place the shortcode wherever you need stats displayed.
Can I use it outside of listing pages?
Yes. Use the id attribute to specify a listing ID for listing-specific stats. Site-wide stats like listing-count, user-count, total-reviews, and user-registered-date work anywhere without an id.
Can I show multiple stats on one page?
Yes. Use the shortcode multiple times with different type values. The plugin uses in-memory caching so repeated queries for the same data within a single page load only hit the database once.
What does the summary (no type) show?
When you use [statsify] without a type attribute, it shows bookmarks, views, and reviews together in a combined output, each with its label displayed.
Can I filter listing counts by multiple criteria?
Yes. The listing-count type supports combining listing_type, category, and region filters. For example, [statsify type="listing-count" listing_type="Restaurants" category="italian" region="new-york"] shows only Italian restaurants in New York.
How are star ratings calculated?
Ratings are averaged across all approved reviews for each review category, normalized to a 5-star scale, and rounded to the nearest half star. Full, half, and empty star icons are rendered visually.
Does it work with MyListing preview cards?
Yes. Use [[:id]] in place of the id attribute to automatically pass the current listing’s ID in the preview card builder.
What does remove_tags do?
Setting remove_tags="true" outputs just the raw number or value without any wrapping HTML, icons, or labels. This is useful when you need the value inside conditional logic, calculations, or other shortcodes.
Do the package shortcode types require WooCommerce?
Yes. The listing-package, listing-package-image, and listing-package-description types require WooCommerce to be active, since listing packages are WooCommerce products.
Troubleshooting
Shortcode Showing as Plain Text
| Cause | Solution |
|---|---|
| Plugin not activated | Verify the plugin is active in Plugins → Installed Plugins. |
| MyListing not active | The shortcode only registers when MyListing is detected. Install and activate the MyListing theme. |
Stats Showing 0 or Empty
| Cause | Solution |
|---|---|
| Wrong listing ID | If using the id attribute, verify the ID is correct. If omitting id, make sure you’re on a page where a listing is the current post. |
| No data exists | The listing may genuinely have 0 bookmarks, views, or reviews. Verify by checking the listing in the admin. |
Wrong listing_type value | The listing_type attribute for listing-count uses the listing type title (e.g., “Restaurants”), not the slug. |
Missing user_id | The user-registered-date type requires the user_id attribute. It returns empty if omitted. |
Package Info Not Displaying
| Cause | Solution |
|---|---|
| WooCommerce not active | The listing-package, listing-package-image, and listing-package-description types require WooCommerce. |
| No package assigned | The listing may not have a WooCommerce package assigned. Check the listing’s _package_id meta value. |
| Package has no image | For listing-package-image, the WooCommerce product must have a featured image set. |
Star Ratings Not Showing
| Cause | Solution |
|---|---|
| No approved reviews | Star ratings are calculated from approved reviews. The listing needs at least one approved review with ratings. |
Wrong key value | If using the key attribute to filter a specific review category, ensure the key matches the review category’s ID exactly. |
“MyListing Theme Not Detected” Error
The MyListing theme must be installed and active. Go to Appearance → Themes to verify.
