Hi,

The easiest way would be trying out the brand-new beta plugin of Matomo in Wordpress:

Or you could install Matomo as explained in https://matomo.org/docs/installation/ and then track your data there.

Thanks Lukas winkler. Any thorough article or youtube to set up this plugin would be appreciated. As I do not belong to web development background

There isn’t yet a youtube tutorial video, but installation should be really trivial.

Maybe @RonanChardonneau has time to create a short video.

Hi Lukas,

Yesterday I’ve installed plugin of Matomo but I don’t see any data in the dashboard.
I’ve also created a tag.
Do I need to do a specific setup after the installation ?

Thanks,
Francesco

On the getting started page, you should be able to configure the tracking code to be added to the website.

I’ve configured the tracking code.
The tracking code is enabled.

Hi,

I’ve installed the new version 0.1.7 but I don’t get any data.
With the previous version (0.1.6) I got a message saying the plugin had a technical problem (cron).

At the moment I’ve deactivated the plugin.
I’ll wait for some news in order to know if I can keep or delete the plugin.

Thanks.

Hi,

Can you check in the diagnosis section when the archiving job is running?

Matomo only displays reports after they have been processed which is done in the background by the Wordpress cron.

But you should be able to see the visits in the visitor log immediately.

I’ve activated the plugin and I got a new message saying the site has a technical problem:

Any chance you could enable WP_DEBUG and WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY to maybe get some more information? See eg Using WP_DEBUG – Make WordPress Support
