Event Tracking with the WordPress Plugin
We are using CSS classes to track events on WordPress. Many plugins like Elementor allow to set custom CSS classes on all Elements. You need at least three CSS classes to track custom events.
You need to set the event name, parameter, and value for that parameter. You can set up multiple pairs of parameters and values. They are matched with a number.
.sitesights_event_name--downloads
.sitesights_event_param--1--type
.sitesights_event_value--1--brochureIn this example, we are tracking a custom event called downloads with the parameter type and each time this event is called it will add the value brochure once.
It's important to keep the structure of the classes right and that you use -- before you declare your own event.
.sitesights_event_name--signin
.sitesights_event_param--1--page
.sitesights_event_value--1--landing
.sitesights_event_param--2--section
.sitesights_event_value--2--priceIn this example we are tracking the sign in's on our website with the name signin. As the first parameter, we declare the page where the sign-in happened. In this case, it is the page landing. Secondly, we also track on which section the sign-in happened. Here it is in the price section.
