Are newly created Goals retrospective?

I just created a Goal based on my sales confirmation page, I have made sales today but I don’t see them showing in the conversions. Does it only work on new conversions made after the Goal has been created?

Also, in the Create and Edit Goal forms when you select Goal is triggered by Visit a given URL (page or group of pages), why is the next option down labelled “where the Page Title”… shouldn’t this be URL instead? It’s the same label whether you select to trigger by page title or URL.

Also it would be handy to show Direct Entry visitors in the Goals too.

  1. expected behavior
  2. thanks for the report, now fixed: http://dev.piwik.org/trac/changeset/6231
  3. fixed already in trunk Goals conversion by "referrer type" does not credit "Direct entry" · Issue #2975 · matomo-org/matomo · GitHub
