WP-Piwik Didn't Add Footer Code

    Although WP-Piwik reported all was well:

    WP-Piwik 1.0.3 is successfully connected to Piwik 2.14.3. You are running WordPress 4.3.

    the Piwik admin claimed the JavaScript code had not yet been added.

    Sure enough, a look at the home page source showed the code was missing. I manually added the code to the theme footer.php and then the Piwik admin was happy.

    • Did you enable adding the tracking code? The connection between WP-Piwik and Piwik just enables the stats, the tracking code has to be enabled using the “Enable Tracking” tab in WP-Piwik’s settings.
    • Did you check the source code as a logged in user? By default, WP-Piwik does not add the tracking code if the current user is an admin. To be sure, just log out before you check if the tracking code appears.
    • If the tracking code is still missing, please check your theme. Is it using wp_head() and wp_footer() (typically in header.php and footer.php)? These methods are necessary to add several contents to your blog pages, e.g., the Piwik tracking code.

    Also be careful: The Piwik message appears as long as not user was tracked. Piwik does not check if the tracking code is actually added.

    Aha! This is presumably my problem:

    Did you check the source code as a logged in user? By default, WP-Piwik does not add the tracking code if the current user is an admin. To be sure, just log out before you check if the tracking code appears.

    Thanks for the help!
