NOTE: This widget is not currently compatible with block themes. When installing on WordPress versions 6.0 or higher, you will also need to install the Classic Widgets plugin.

Add a widget to your site with the WFTDA stats from stats.wftda.com.

Currently, the widget will scrape the data from http://stats.wftda.com/league/{league}. Once the WFTDA makes an API available, it will use that API.

This plugin was developed by a roller derby referee, fan, and league member. It isn’t approved of, endorsed, or part of the Women’s Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA). I just made this to meet a need in my own league and wanted to share it.

There are measures in place to ensure we don’t overload the stats site:

We won’t use live stats unless and until the API has a good way to do that
\n
Rankings for each league will be stored locally when first retrieved and then refreshed only if the data is over 24 hours old
\n
See the widget in action.

Future enhancements

More configuration options for the widget:\n
- Choice of which stats to display
- Visual customizations
\n
Create a block
Make available as a shortcode
Add hooks for extendability
Convert to API when available

\n","installation":"

Install directly from WordPress.org, upload wftda-rankings-widget.zip under Plugins > Add New, or install via WP-CLI using wp plugin install wftda-rankings-widget
Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
If you are installing on a site with WordPress 6.0 or higher, also install and activate the Classic Widgets plugin.
Add the widget in the Customizer
The League Slug should match the portion of the address of your league’s stats after the last slash. e.g., if the address for your league’s stats page is https://stats.wftda.com/league/super-fantastic-derby, enter super-fantastic-derby under League Slug
