Connect to Self-Hosted Web Analytics works fine
by Denny Müller·1 month ago
Very good setup and easy connect to own “Self-Hosted Web Analytics”. I enjoy analyzing the webpage visitors, because it’s more clearly than GA. And of course GDPR friendly (tracking without Cookies).
matomo grows, this plugin does not
by devsaredead·1 year ago
it’s a useless plugin, first because it doesn work and second because it doesn’t follow Matomo’s own steps to include the tracking code. I quote “The token_auth feature as well as Matomo’s HTTP Reporting API is not available in Matomo for WordPress because Matomo supports the WordPress REST API.“
exept without the auth code the plugin doesn’t connect to the site.
Not to mention the complete useless of their forum, which ignores basic questions making Matomo just for the experts.
So, Matomo is great, their services suck!
Good but missing consent banner integrations
by josssv·2 years ago
Good plugin. Nonetheless, considering it is better to be in the safe side a consent banner is a must. It would be great if the tool also adds the function to incorporate the code in the header to support popular consent banners with matomo. Matomo already has made available the code for the most common popular consent banners. Plugins to add code in the headers have the drawback that one cannot really choose the location in the header, and the location seems to make a difference.
That the only reason preventing me using Matomo and that is the reason to set 2 stars to the plugin
Not working!

Impossible to connect the sites with the latest version of Matomo, unusable!
Well designed plugin
by David Degner·3 years ago
This plugin does what it claims very easily. But also gives a lot of options if you want to customize your tracking.
