Get some simple Network stats

July 20, 2010 By

I remembered this really neat internal function that is handy to display anywhere you want to show how many sites and users you have in your network.

$stats = get_sitestats();
echo 'There are currently '.$stats[ 'blogs' ].' sites running on this network and '.$stats[ 'users' ].' users.';

Surround that in php tags. :)

For added snazziness and extra bonus points on your homework, go grab a copy of the blank widget Blank Build-A-Widget (1177) paste this code in there, and you’ve just made a network stats widget. Awesome, you rock

    Is there any way to display additional network stats in a simular fashion? Ie: network post count, network user count, network comment count?

      there is nothing for that built into WordPress. You would need to write your own aggregating functions.
