"Show Top Stats / Top Request" is cluttered with useless hits like
/blog/wp-cron.php?doing_wp_cron
/blog/xmlrpc.php
/blog/feed/
plus css, js, login and register links which are of little or no use.

Blocking such on Options / Post-Pages exclude either doesn't work at all or is inadequately defined.

What we really want to see is hits on which posts and pages. The list should include all of those, which means it should not be limited to ?10? lines.

Because of these defects I've virtually given up on Wassup, and have added WordPress.com Stats to get more of what's really needed, but that means running both. I like Wassup, but please fix these things!

Most of the pages you list are valid page requests triggered by visits to your blog. WassUp just reports the most frequent page requests and doesn't filter them.

The appearance of "wp-cron.php?doing_wp_cron" requests in the top ten is new and only started happening since Wordpress 3.1. It is a concern that these requests are so frequent, but I am hesitant to exclude them (and any similiar request) from the next revision of WassUp because they could be indicators of a problem in Wordpress or a configuration issue.

The "js" and "css" requests are not page requests. When you see them in the top ten, it usually means that the links to those files in the document head are invalid and a problem exists in your Wordpress theme template. Check the view source of your blog pages/post for indicated "css" and "js" files and make sure that the URLs are valid.

Finally, the size of the top 10 list will be customizable in the next revision of WassUp. Here is a simple fix that you can do now, if you are comfortable using the Wordpress plugin editor: http://www.wpwp.org/forums/topic/show-top-ten#post-969 The line number to edit is #210 in Wassup 1.8.1

For whatever reason, I never saw your reply until now. Meanwhile about 3 weeks ago I gave up on Wassup completely, and am about to also give up on Wordpress and replace it with Joomla or Drupal. Meanwhile I found other Stat plugin which serve my needs better. I did like the appearance of Wassup until all these useless items appeared in the hit-list, and was never able to get the Wassup "ignore" items to actually ignore much of anything. I do understand all the work it takes folks to build and maintain good plugins, so thank you for your efforts.
