 * Unfortunately I don’t see a referrer to let you know which script is the problem

 * This is very strange but the command is: find . -type f -exec grep -iln ‘appplugins’{}\;
   
   returned 0 results. Maybe it’s the nginx configuration?

 * Delivered report to email does not display pictures, if you copy the link to 
   the country flag image you get:
   [https://DOMAIN/wp-content/plugins/matomo/appplugins/Morpheus/icons/dist/flags/ua.png](https://DOMAIN/wp-content/plugins/matomo/appplugins/Morpheus/icons/dist/flags/ua.png)
 * Apparently the reason is in the generation of the message and most likely the
   body of the message is encoded, so grep could not find it.

 * Hi [@givemebit](https://wordpress.org/support/users/givemebit/), it looks like
   the `PIWIK_DOCUMENT_ROOT` constant is not being defined correctly. Specifically,
   it seems to be missing a terminating `/`. It’s defined in the app/index.php file,
   if not defined already. Can you check what it’s set to?

 * Actually, this is only happening to assets, so yes, it’s probably in your webserver
   config. Some path needs to end in a ‘/’.

 * `PIWIK_DOCUMENT_ROOT` not defined 🙁

 * [@givemebit](https://wordpress.org/support/users/givemebit/) In /path/to/wordpress/
   wp-content/plugins/matomo/app/index.php, there is a line that starts with `define('
   PIWIK_DOCUMENT_ROOT'...`. Can you add something like `error_log("document root
   is " . PIWIK_DOCUMENT_ROOT);` after it, then enable WordPress debug logging (
   by setting the WP_DEBUG/WP_DEBUG_LOG constants in wp-config.php), then load the
   Matomo dashboard and see what is added to the debug logs?

 *     ```wp-block-code
       [error] 30445#30445: *35301 FastCGI sent in stderr: "PHP message: PIWIK_DOCUMENT_ROOT is: /var/www/html/wp-content/plugins/matomo/app" while reading response header from upstream
       ```
   
 * By the way the bug is not permanent, today the email came with the correct paths.
   I looked at the history of e-mails and noticed that every 2-3 e-mails with wrong
   paths.

 * [@givemebit](https://wordpress.org/support/users/givemebit/) would you be able
   to share your nginx config? You can post it here or email it to dizzy (at) innocraft(
   dot) com.

 * Given the lack of response I’m marking this as resolved. Feel free to reply or
   create another issue if you still require assistance.
