General Notes

  • First, you have to set up a running Matomo instance. You can get Matomo here and its documentation here.
  • If you want to update your Matomo instance, you should set your WordPress blog to maintenance while the update process is running.

Install WP-Matomo on a simple WordPress blog

  1. Upload the full wp-piwik directory into your wp-content/plugins directory.
  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
  3. Open the new ‘Settings/WP-Matomo (WP-Piwik) Settings’ menu and follow the instructions to configure your Matomo connection. Save settings.
  4. If you have view access to multiple site stats and did not enable “auto config”, choose your blog and save settings again.
  5. Look at ‘Dashboard/WP-Matomo (WP-Piwik)’ to see your site stats.

Install WP-Matomo on a WordPress blog network (WPMU/WP multisite)

There are two differents methods to use WP-Matomo in a multisite environment:

  • As a Site Specific Plugin it behaves like a plugin installed on a simple WordPress blog. Each user can enable, configure and use WP-Matomo on his own. Users can even use their own Matomo instances (and accordingly they have to).
  • Using WP-Matomo as a Network Plugin equates to a central approach. A single Matomo instance is used and the site admin configures the plugin completely. Users are just allowed to see their own statistics, site admins can see each blog’s stats.

Site Specific Plugin

Just add WP-Matomo to your /wp-content/plugins folder and enable the Plugins page for individual site administrators. Each user has to enable and configure WP-Matomo on his own if he want to use the plugin.

Network Plugin

The Network Plugin support is still experimental. Please test it on your own (e.g. using a local copy of your WP multisite) before you use it in an user context.

Add WP-Matomo to your /wp-content/plugins folder and enable it as Network Plugin. Users can access their own statistics, site admins can access each blog’s statistics and the plugin’s configuration.
