Plausible provides a JavaScript tracking script that must be added to your ShopWired website so that it loads on every page.
An example of the Plausible tracking script is shown below:
<script defer data-domain="example.com" src="https://plausible.io/js/script.js"></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.
Add the tracking script to your ShopWired website theme:
- Navigate to Website > Themes
- Select the
code editoroption for the theme you want to edit - Open the
master.twigfile - Paste the Plausible tracking script just above the closing
</head>tag - Select
save changes
Recommendations
Recommendations
- Ensure the tracking script is present only once in the
master.twigfile. - Verify that the domain specified in the tracking script matches your website domain exactly.
- Allow time for data to appear in the Plausible dashboard after installation.
