External Pages Code Question

Hi,

I’m having issues with external links not being track and I’m trying pinpoint the issue.

While looking though the options I see under “External Pages”
Add the following code to all the non-WP pages you want to track

when comparing the code what’s on my page source and what’s under External Pages I see some differences.

The part of the code after “ci” is different (not sure if I should be posting it here) also this script type section is different:

From Slimstat:
<script type=”text/javascript” src=”http://cdn.jsdelivr.net/wp/wp-slimstat/trunk/wp-slimstat.js”></script>

The one on my page source looks like this:

<script type=’text/javascript’ src=’http://cdn.jsdelivr.net/wp/wp-slimstat/trunk/wp-slimstat.min.js’></script>

My question is could this cause the plugin not to track outbound clicks correctly and how do I insert the proper code?

Thanks,

Marek

P.S. I’m using the latest version which is 3.9.6

Hi,

version 3.9.6 introduced a new stronger encryption key, to make Slimstat even more secure. This means that all the external codes, as explained in the message displayed in the dashboard after the upgrade and in the changelog here on this site, need to be updated in order for the tracker to work again. Also, if you’re using a caching plugin, you will need to clear its cache to allow Slimstat to regenerate the tracking code on all the pages.

Cheers,
Camu

Thanks for the reply,

I did see that message thought it would be taken care of automatically but it didn’t. I don’t use any caching plugin.

I just reinstalled it and it still inserts this:

<script type=’text/javascript’ src=’http://cdn.jsdelivr.net/wp/wp-slimstat/trunk/wp-slimstat.min.js’>

instead of this

<script type=”text/javascript” src=”http://cdn.jsdelivr.net/wp/wp-slimstat/trunk/wp-slimstat.js”></script>

and the “ci” doesn’t match what’s under ‘Add the following code to all the non-WP pages you want to track’

That signature is unique for each “internal” page in your site. If you’re tracking pages outside of WordPress, then all the ci’s on those is the same. Hope this helps.

What’s the URL?

Thanks,understand the ‘ci’s. I’m not tracking any pages outside of WordPress
How about the difference between these two files ?

wp-slimstat.min.js
wp-slimstat.js

under script type. Is it normal?

Yes, it is.

OK. Thanks, I’m assuming that after reinstalling the plugin everything should work fine. If it doesn’t I’ll be back 🙂

Just to give you a heads up, after reinstalling everything works fine.

I’m thinking about buying your Heatmap plugin, but before I do that I need to know the impact it would have on my VPS server. Your website doesn’t provide too much info. Could you please elaborate more on this subject.

Thanks,

Marek

If you want to use the heatmap add-on, you’ll have to configure Slimstat to track all the interactions your users have with the website, including positions and other data on clicks performed on internal links. This feature increases the amount of data collected by the plugin, thus requiring more space in the database, and using more server resources.

Hope this helps,
Camu
