Hi there,
Thanks for using Independent Analytics!
All of the page types that are native to WordPress get tracked, but we can add an integration to track dynamic pages created by a plugin. Could you let me know which plugin is being used to create these filter pages?
I have realised that we also need the pro version to track Woocommerce pages. Sorry about that, we will definitely consider buying it.
Anyway, the filter is this:

In the meantime, is there a way to add your plugin’s tracker manually (eg in the header) to track those pages as well?
Thanks!
It looks like our tracking script is already output on all of the filter results pages, but each view is getting counted as a homepage view. We’ll need to create an integration with this plugin to get the proper details to display in our analytics menu. We will work on this in the next update, and I can follow-up here once we have it figured out.
Yes that would be lovely. Thank you for your excellent support.
Hi @fesarlis,
We looked into this and it is more complex than we initially expected. If the filters are used on a page like http://mysite/category-books, then in the Pages report, you’ll see views for that taxonomy page. Even if there are filters applied, we realized that this is still the correct page to show. The visitor is viewing that taxonomy page, and the filters are an additional form of data. We’re not sure how to display filter data yet, and we’d like to create a solution that works well for all filtering plugins, not just the Filter Everything plugin. We may need to add new columns into the Pages report, or maybe create an entirely new report for showcasing which filters are used and how often. It’s something we have to research further before we can provide a comprehensive solution.
I understand. Thank you for spending so much time on this. Looking forward for a workaround.
Hello Ben, I was wondering if you might look into making it compatible with MPG please https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/multiple-pages-generator-by-porthas/ currently the logged records all accrue into a single readout. For example the dynamic pages might be ‘Is 70cm by 40cm compatible’ (always to be found if typing in the indexed web address at eg. example.com/70-by-40/ ) or ‘Is 60cm by 30cm compatible’ but all the logs in IA show “Is {{length}} by {{width}} compatible” with cumulative visit time. I get the individual page reads correctly labelled with individual stats in google analytics. Thanks
Hi @dubaidogfish,
Independent Analytics tracks pages based on the ID, rather than the URL so they must be using the same WP ID behind the scenes. We have a system for tracking these types of pages too, but it depends on how the MPG plugin creates the URLs. We’ll check if it’s possible for IA to track each page individually.
