Quick Start The simplest way to fire a conversion from your plugin: // Fire a basic conversion event. add_action( 'wp_footer', function() { do_action( 'fac_track_event', 'My Custom Conversion' ); }); // Fire a conversion with a monetary value (in cents, e.g. 1999 = $19.99). add_action( 'wp_footer', function() { do_action( 'fac_track_event', 'Premium Signup', 4999 ); }); The event name you pass here will appear in your Fathom Analytics dashboard. If the event doesn’t exist yet, Fathom will create it automatically on the first fire. PHP Helper Function You can also call the helper function directly: /** * fac_track_conversion( string $event_name, int $value = 0 ) * * Outputs a fathom.trackEvent() script tag on the frontend. * Must be called during or before wp_footer output. * * @param string $event_name Event name (shown in Fathom dashboard). * @param int $value Optional. Value in cents. Default 0. */ add_action( 'wp_footer', function() { if ( function_exists( 'fac_track_conversion' ) ) { fac_track_conversion( 'Booking Confirmed', 15000 ); } }); Both methods automatically check that Fathom Analytics is active and respect excluded user roles — you don’t need to add those checks yourself. Available Filters You can customize event names for built-in integrations using these filters: fac_woocommerce_order_title — Customize the WooCommerce order event name. Default: “WooCommerce Order”. fac_login_event_title — Customize the login event name. Default: “WP Login”. fac_registration_event_title — Customize the registration event name. Default: “WP Registration”. fac_lost_password_event_title — Customize the lost password event name. Default: “WP Lost Password”. Example: add_filter( 'fac_woocommerce_order_title', function( $title ) { return 'Shop Purchase'; }); Adding a Custom Integration to the Settings Page Use these filters and actions to add your own integration checkbox to the plugin’s settings page: // 1. Add a default option. add_filter( 'fac4wp_global_default_options', function( $defaults ) { $defaults['integrate-my-plugin'] = false; return $defaults; }); // 2. Add a checkbox to the Integration section. add_filter( 'fac4wp_integrate_field_texts', function( $fields ) { $fields['integrate-my-plugin'] = [ 'label' => 'My Plugin', 'description' => 'Track conversions from My Plugin.', 'phase' => 'fac4wp-phase-stable', 'plugin_to_check' => 'my-plugin/my-plugin.php', ]; return $fields; }); // 3. Fire the conversion when your plugin's action completes. add_action( 'wp_footer', function() { $options = get_option( 'fac4wp-options', [] ); if ( ! empty( $options['integrate-my-plugin'] ) && my_plugin_conversion_happened() ) { do_action( 'fac_track_event', 'My Plugin Conversion' ); } }); JavaScript API If you need to fire a Fathom event directly from JavaScript (e.g., after an AJAX action), you can call the Fathom tracking function directly. The Fathom Analytics script exposes a global fathom object: // Basic event fathom.trackEvent('My JS Event'); // Event with monetary value (in cents) fathom.trackEvent('My JS Event', { _value: 1999 }); Note: The fathom object is only available on the frontend when the Fathom Analytics plugin is active and the tracking script has loaded. Utility Functions These functions are available for checking the plugin state: is_fac_fathom_analytic_active() — Returns true if Fathom Analytics tracking is active. fac_fathom_is_excluded_from_tracking() — Returns true if the current user’s role is excluded. FAC_Options::get( $key ) — Retrieve a specific plugin option value.

Machete is a simple suite of tools that solves common WordPress annoyances using as few resources as possible. Machete doesn’t cover every single use case, but there is a huge amount of sites that would require less plugins if they used Machete. All Machete tools have two things in common: they solve problems faced by many web developers and they do it using as few server resources as possible. So far, Machete includes the following tools: WordPress Optimization WordPress places a lot of code inside the tag just to keep backward compatibility or to enable optional features. You can disable most of it and save some time from each page request while making your installation safer. Cookies & GDPR Warning We know you hate cookie warning bars. Well, this is the least hateable cookie bar you’ll find. It is really light, doesn’t affect your PageSpeed score and plays well with static cache plugins. Analytics and custom code You don’t need a zillion plugins to perform easy tasks like inserting a verification meta tag (Google Search Console, Bing, Pinterest), a json-ld snippet or a custom stylesheet (Google Fonts, Print Styles, accessibility tweaks…). The Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager tracking codes are PageSpeed optimized, GPDR friendly. Maintenance mode The maintenance mode that ships with WordPress is just a basic lock-down that is activated whenever you do a major update. With machete Maintenance Mode you can hide your unfinished page from visitors and search engines, give your clients a secure temporary access and lock your site without affecting your SEO. Post & Page cloner Adds a “duplicate” link to post, page and most post types lists. Also adds “copy to new draft” function to the post editor. Social Sharing Buttons Social sharing done the Machete way. The icons are made as a custom webfont embedded in a minified CSS file that only weighs 5.8KB. The sharing actions use each platform’s native share URL. WooCommerce Utils WooCommerce was designed to work for every possible use case, but that often leads to unexpected behavior. These simple fixes can improve the WooCommerce user experience by making it behave as clients expect.
