Theme installation

Piwik PRO provides a JavaScript tracking script similar to the example shown below:
<script>
var _paq = window._paq = window._paq || [];
_paq.push(['trackPageView']);
_paq.push(['enableLinkTracking']);
(function() {
var u="https://example.piwik.pro/";
_paq.push(['setTrackerUrl', u+'ppms.php']);
_paq.push(['setSiteId', 'SITE_ID']);
var d=document, g=d.createElement('script'), s=d.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
g.async=true; g.src=u+'ppms.js'; s.parentNode.insertBefore(g,s);
})();
</script>
The script shown above is provided as an example only. You must copy the exact script provided in your own account, as the script and any ID values will be unique to your website.
- Navigate to Website > Themes
- Select the
code editoroption for the theme you want to edit - Open the
master.twigfile - Add the Piwik PRO tracking script just above the closing
</head>tag - Select Save changes
After the script has been added, Piwik PRO will begin collecting data from your website.
