About Wp Tracking Codes

From the official readme · v1.10.0

Description

WP Tracking Codes lets you add the main tracking and advertising codes to your WordPress site from a single settings screen — no theme editing, no separate plugin for each platform.

Features

  • Google Tag Manager — container code in <head> and after <body>
  • Google Analytics 4 — global site tag (gtag.js)
  • Google Ads Remarketing — global site tag for remarketing/conversion tracking
  • Facebook Pixel — base pixel code, including the noscript fallback
  • Google Merchant Customer Reviews (WooCommerce) — opt-in survey on the order confirmation page

What this plugin does not do

WP Tracking Codes only inserts the base tracking snippets above — it does not push ecommerce events or a dataLayer (add to cart, purchase, etc.) to GTM/GA4. For ecommerce event tracking on WooCommerce, check out Datalayer for WooCommerce, a dedicated plugin from the same developer.

Requirements

Works on any WordPress site. WooCommerce is only required for the Google Merchant Customer Reviews feature.

Installation

  1. Upload the plugin files to the /wp-content/plugins/wp-tracking-codes directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly.
  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress.
  3. Go to Settings → WP Tracking Codes and paste in your tracking IDs.

Frequently asked questions

Does this plugin track WooCommerce events (add to cart, purchase, etc.)?

No. WP Tracking Codes only inserts the base/global tracking codes for each platform. For ecommerce event tracking (dataLayer, GA4/GTM enhanced ecommerce), use Datalayer for WooCommerce.

Do I need WooCommerce to use this plugin?

No. Google Tag Manager, GA4, Google Ads Remarketing and Facebook Pixel work on any WordPress site. WooCommerce is only required for the Google Merchant Customer Reviews feature.

What is needed to use this plugin?

WordPress 5.2 or higher and PHP 7.4 or higher.

What is the plugin license?

This plugin is released under a GPL license.
