Epic Tracking – Click & Event Tracking for WordPress vs Simple URLs Legacy

Epic Tracking lets you add event tracking to any element on your WordPress site using a visual editor. Click the element you want to track, give it a name, and you’re done — events start recording immediately. No code, no Google Tag Manager, no external scripts. Visual Click & Event Editor Open the visual editor on any page from the WordPress admin bar. Click a button, link, form, CTA, or any other element — give it a reference name and tag — and save. That’s it. The event is live and tracking starts immediately. Track button clicks, form submissions, link clicks, and CTA conversions Set up events in seconds with a point-and-click interface Organize events with custom tags for easy filtering No coding or tag manager knowledge required Built-in Analytics Dashboard The plugin includes a full analytics dashboard in your WordPress admin: Event trigger counts with unique visitor breakdowns Page view statistics with date range filtering Per-page detail views with referrer, device, browser, OS, and country data Daily traffic charts and trend visualization Sortable tables with pagination Self-Hosted & Privacy-Friendly All tracking data stays in your WordPress database.

Most WordPress event tracking requires Google Tag Manager, custom JavaScript, or expensive third-party services. Epic Tracking gives you a visual editor to set up event tracking in seconds — no code, no external scripts, no data leaving your server. External services This plugin uses the ip-api.com geolocation service to determine visitor country based on their IP address. An HTTP request is sent to ip-api.com each time a new visitor is recorded (unless a cached result is available). The request contains only the visitor’s IP address. No other personal data is sent. Service: ip-api.com Data sent: visitor IP address When: on each new visit (results are cached for 24 hours) Terms of service: ip-api.com/docs/legal Privacy policy: ip-api.com/docs/legal

Simple URLs Legacy is a fork of the plugin by Nathan Rice. A URL management system to create, manage, and track outbound links from your site. Usage Simple URLs Legacy adds a new custom post type to your admin menu, where you can create, edit, delete, and manage URLs. It stores click counts in the form of a custom field on that custom post type, so it scales really well. And, by avoiding page based redirects, which is the current trend in masking affiliate links, we avoid any issues with permalink conflicts, and therefore avoid any performance issues. Upload the entire simple-urls-legacy folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory DO NOT change the name of the simple-urls-legacy folder Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress Navigate to Settings > Permalinks. That’s it. Just open that screen and WordPRess automatically flushes redirects. Trust me. Navigate to the Simple URLs Legacy menu Create a new URL, or manage existing URLs.
