Xenforo [BS] Live forum statistics 1.2.1

Xenforo [BS] Live forum statistics is a WordPress plugin that adds a live statistics widget for your XenForo community. It helps visitors quickly see what’s happening by showing up-to-date user and thread metrics you can refresh on demand. Instead of relying on static counters, the widget pulls current information and displays a list of newly created threads to encourage return visits and participation. With a clean, straightforward setup, it’s designed to fit naturally into your WordPress layout, including sites built with Elementor and common theme/widget areas.

Beyond engagement, it includes a monetization option for “Pinned” records. You can pin relevant items and include links to user threads or external destinations directly inside the widget, letting you guide users to featured discussions and related resources without manual updates.
