This is a unofficial, basic WordPress plugin for the Matomo web analytics software platform. It adds the Matomo javascript code into every page of your website, so you don’t have to code PHP to add it to your templates. It is based quite heavily on the (no more supported) Piwik Analytics WordPress plugin which itself is based on the (no more available) Google Analytics wordpress plugin by Joost de Valk. The following options are supported: matomo hostname matomo path site ID option to control download tracking option to exclude the admin user (probably you) Please note, this plugin requires a self-contained Matomo installation somewhere under your control.
