The main site is the development site. This is where i log into the admin area and do all of my development, testing, content updates etc. I then use automation to promote from my development site to my production site. The production site is the URL that my customers access, and this is the URL I’d like to track.
I never log into the admin area of the production site, as i don’t want me or anyone else to accidently make changes directly in the production site.
Is it possible for me to set up the Matomo plug-in and tracking so that I can log into the wordpress admin area of my development site but view the analytics for only my production site?
If you don’t want to track any visits on the development site, couldn’t you just set up the plugin pointing at the live site and set the plugin to not add any tracking code?
By that I mean add the Website in WP-Matomo just as you would on your live site (this way, I think you should see the statistics in Wordpress) and then in the “Enable Tracking” Section tell WP-Matomo to not add any tracking code to the development site so it doesn’t get tracked into your live Matomo statistics.
