Clearing Out the Crawlers

This is for all you Wordpress people who use the WP-Shortstat plug-in to monitor your visitor stats.

Yesterday I got fed up with seeing all the search engine crawler/bot traffic on my stats page, so I fiddled around with the WP-ShortStat plugin and modified the SQL scripts to filter out search engine crawlers and bots.  The data will still be logged in the SQL table, but it just won’t show up on the stats page.

You can download my modified version here: wp-shortstat-modified.zip
