Title: Pixel Code reverts back to the old code Last modified: November 20, 2018 --- # Pixel Code reverts back to the old code * Resolved [bobtoor](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bobtoor/) * (@bobtoor) * [7 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pixel-code-reverts-back-to-the-old-code/) * I’ve created a new pixel under my business page, previously i used my personal pixel code and created ads. * I now need to share the new code with other partners. I have put in the new code into the wordpress plugin and saved but when i go back to check it still showing the old code. It seems to keep reverting back to the original.

We have recently updated the plugin, please upgrade to the latest version and try again. Please also make sure when you save your new pixel, the notification “Settings saved.” is shown. Thanks. * Thread Starter [bobtoor](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bobtoor/) * (@bobtoor) * [7 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pixel-code-reverts-back-to-the-old-code/#post-10900473) * I have updated to the latest version. However, the issue persists. * The new pixel is showing but if I refresh the page the old one appears again. * Also when I try to verify on Facebook, there is no activity. * When I look at the file facebookpluginconfig.php I can see the new number against default_pixel_id * Plugin Author [Facebook](https://wordpress.org/support/users/facebook/) * (@facebook) * [7 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pixel-code-reverts-back-to-the-old-code/#post-10901307) * Hi, did you hit “Save Changes” after edited the pixel id? And after hitting the save button, did you see the “Settings saved.” being shown in the page? Could you please delete the plugin and reinstall and try again? * For more detail: After save, the pixel is set into the WordPress Options which overrides the pixel id hardcoded at facebookpluginconfig.php. The id in the file is for the first time use only. * Thread Starter [bobtoor](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bobtoor/) * (@bobtoor) * [7 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pixel-code-reverts-back-to-the-old-code/#post-10901970) * I have now removed and reinstalled the plugin. * Activated and saved. The message “save changed” appeared at the top. * After a few minutes I go to Facebook and click “send test traffic” but there is no connection. * Again if I refresh the page setting>Facebook pixel my old code is showing. * Thread Starter [bobtoor](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bobtoor/) * (@bobtoor) * [7 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pixel-code-reverts-back-to-the-old-code/#post-10902006) * Seems to be working now.

Download and activate the plugin and go to Tools > Tweak Option. Search for option named “facebook_config” and update the value. Please be reminded that the value is json-encoded, so you may also need to update the number before the pixel ID, e.g.: `a:2:{s:8:"pixel_id";s::"";s:7:"use_pii";s: 1:"1";}` **NUMBER**: the length of the pixel id **PIXEL_ID**: your pixel code * Plugin Author [Facebook](https://wordpress.org/support/users/facebook/) * (@facebook) * [7 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pixel-code-reverts-back-to-the-old-code/#post-10929391) * Hi, we have just updated the plugin to revert the file name we used to have. Please note it may deactivate the plugin after update. Please reactivate the plugin afterwards. Sorry for any inconvenience caused.
