BU Stats

BU Stats is a plugin that allows for Statistic posts to be created in a WordPress site and then displayed in various content via shortcode and/or a BU Landing Pages section. The statistic posts are centrally managed in the theme, and the same statistic can be displayed in multiple locations. This makes it much easier to edit and manage the content if a statistic needs to be updated in the future. For example: if the ranking of the school or program changes, the update can be made in one place instead of finding each page where the statistic is displayed.
