Analytics & Statistics
The Statistics tab shows an overview of hashtag activity across your site.
Location: WB Plugins > BuddyPress Hashtag > Statistics
Profile-type rows (used internally for follow tracking) are excluded from all counts and tables on this tab.
Overview
Section titled “Overview”Three summary cards appear at the top of the tab:
| Card | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Total Unique Hashtags | Count of distinct hashtag names in the index (excluding profile-type entries) |
| Total Usage Count | Sum of all ht_count values across every hashtag and content type |
| Hashtags This Week | Number of individual hashtag uses recorded in the last 7 days, with a percentage change arrow compared to the previous 7-day window |
The week-on-week growth indicator shows a green up-arrow when usage is higher than the prior week and a red down-arrow when it is lower. No arrow appears if there is no data for the previous week.
Hashtags by Type
Section titled “Hashtags by Type”A table breaking down the index by content type. Each row shows:
- Type - Activity, bbPress, Post, or Page
- Unique Hashtags - Count of distinct hashtag names for that type
- Total Usage - Sum of usage counts for that type
- Average per Hashtag - Total Usage divided by Unique Hashtags, rounded to one decimal place
Trending Hashtags
Section titled “Trending Hashtags”The top 10 hashtags ordered by most recent activity (ht_last_count field). This reflects which hashtags have been used most recently, not which have the highest total count.
Each row shows the hashtag name (linked to the relevant content search), its content type, and its total usage count. Hashtags matching the profanity filter are excluded.
Popular Hashtags
Section titled “Popular Hashtags”The top 10 hashtags ordered by total usage count (ht_count field). This reflects the hashtags used most often across the entire lifetime of the site.
Each row shows the hashtag name (linked to the relevant content search), its content type, and its total usage count. Hashtags matching the profanity filter are excluded.
Exporting Data
Section titled “Exporting Data”Two export buttons are available at the bottom of the Statistics tab. Both trigger an immediate CSV download.
Export All Hashtags
Section titled “Export All Hashtags”Downloads a complete list of every hashtag in the index with its usage count, content type, and last-used timestamp.

- The browser downloads a CSV file immediately.
CSV columns: Hashtag name, usage count, content type, last used date.
Export Statistics Summary
Section titled “Export Statistics Summary”Downloads the aggregated analytics data shown on this page — the by-type breakdown, trending list, and popular list.
How to use:
- Go to Statistics tab.
- Click Export Statistics Summary.
- The browser downloads a CSV file immediately.
Notes on Data Accuracy
Section titled “Notes on Data Accuracy”Statistics are read directly from the hashtag index table on each page load — there is no separate aggregation job. The counts reflect whatever is currently in the database. If your site uses full-page caching that includes admin pages, you may see stale numbers until the cache is cleared.
The “Hashtags This Week” card counts rows in the bpht_hashtags_items table rather than the main hashtag index, so it reflects individual usage events rather than cumulative totals.
