Forge Stats Counter Wordpress Plugin - Rating, Reviews, Demo & Download
Plugin Description
Forge Statistics Counter creates reusable counter instances that can be placed with [forge_counter] or the Forge Statistics Counter dynamic block.
Version 2.3.9 confirms WordPress 7.1 compatibility and declares the block iframe-compatible with Block API version 3 where supported, while retaining the version 2 fallback for WordPress 5.6 through 6.2 and preserving existing data and public behavior.
Main features:
- Reusable counter instances with stable IDs and shortcodes.
- Responsive desktop, tablet, and mobile column controls.
- Fixed values or live server-side JSON API values.
- Bearer token, Basic authorization value, custom API-key header, and HMAC-SHA256 modes.
- Optional automatic login-token generation and WP-Cron renewal.
- Persistent transient caching, stale fallback, safe URL validation, timeouts, and response-size limits.
- Classic, bounce, fade, slide, rolling, flip, and typewriter animation treatments.
- Page-load, viewport, click/keyboard, and hover/focus triggers.
- Plain, locale-aware, or compact number formatting.
- Granular container, card, icon, color, border, shadow, spacing, typography, and responsive controls.
- Optional item links and accessible labels.
- Copy one instance, copy selected instances, save as a copy, and duplicate individual items.
- Safe JSON export by default, optional sensitive migration export, and current/legacy import support.
- Searchable, sortable, paginated instance administration.
- Built-in onboarding and reference manual under Forge Counters > Manual.
- Dynamic block using the same server renderer as the shortcode.
- Scoped CSS, conditional asset loading, reduced-motion support, and visible keyboard focus.
- Locally bundled, plugin-scoped Font Awesome Free 6.7.2 plus native WordPress Dashicons.
- No tracking, telemetry, remote accounts, or external runtime asset requests.
The plugin stores counter instances in its own WordPress database table. Existing records without a design preset retain the previous legacy presentation. New instances begin with the modern preset.
Shortcode
Basic placement:

Privacy
Forge Statistics Counter does not collect analytics, track users, create remote accounts, or transmit site content to the plugin author. When an administrator configures an API-backed item, the WordPress server contacts that administrator-specified endpoint to retrieve the value. The public browser contacts only the site’s own WordPress AJAX endpoint.
