Integration with Wordpress
Wordpress integration is not much different than Pure JavaScript integration. You only need to add Metricalp script to your Wordpress theme's header.php file. You can find it in your Wordpress admin panel / Appearance / Theme Editor / header.php. You can add Metricalp script to the end of your header.php file.
But for more convinent way, you can add it with Head & Footer Code Plugi.n
Install the plugin:
- In Wordpress website dashboard navigate to Plugins
- Click "Add New Plugin" button
- Search the "Head & Footer Code" in the plugin search bar.
- Click “Install Now” button just next to the "Head & Footer Code" plugin (which by Aleksandar Urošević).
- When it has installed, activate it via clicking "Activate"

That's all, you integrated your website with Metricalp, hooray 🚀
Defaultly, Metricalp automatically starts to collecting screen_view events (it can be disabled with data-disable-auto-route-catch option please check API reference for details and all other customizations). But if you want to fire an event manually (screen_view or any custom event), you can use window.metricalp.event function or custom data attributes. You will learn more about this in Custom Event & Props
