I am indeed using GA for tracking. Though it appears I don’t need to do anything after all. I set a filter in GA to show me the visitors with the Webpushr UTM codes and, sure enough, GA gives me the Pages/Session for just those visitors.

I appreciate your time and patience on this. I will definitely come back to your plugin in the future if I ever need to track lead conversion!

Ideally, what I’d like to know is the average number of pages users view after visiting my site from push notification. Knowing this would help me get a more accurate sense of the value of the notifications.

They will arrive at the site with UTM params in the URL but I assume that information would be lost if they navigated to another page.

Would HANDL UTM Grabber maintain the UTM params as they visit other pages? If so, that’s all I need, as I can set up a Google Analytics filter to tell me the rest.

Hi @stevethebartender – Here is the full page template code from GiggleVerse. The template itself is called page-template_sort-poems-by-rating.php. The four lines of code that are commented out are what I was using to debug the template. I left them in here in case they might come in handy for your testing.

<?php
    /*
     * Template Name: Sort Poems by Rating
     * Template Post Type: page
    */

    get_header();

?>

<div class="content">
    <div class="row">
        <main class="column large-8 medium-8 small-12">
            <div class="gv-topic-list">
                <h1>Most Popular Poems</h1>
                <p>Here are the most popular poems on GiggleVerse, as rated by you!
                These may change as more poems are added to the site and more people rate them,
                so keep on reading and voting for your favorites!</p>

Hi @stevethebartender – Your site looks great!

I used this code on two different websites, but I don’t use it on my home page like you are doing.

On https://www.giggleverse.com/ I put it in a page template called page-template_sort-by-rating.php. Then I just created a blank page and applied that template to it.

On the https://www.poetry4kids.com/ I put it in the archive pages for each of my custom post types (e.g., archive-poem.php, archive-nursery_rhyme.php, etc.). Or, rather, I put the code in a separate custom-poem-sort.php file and then included that file in each of the custom post type archives.

I hope that helps.

Thanks, Blaz. I went through most of those steps before posting. The console isn’t showing any errors.

This isn’t a huge issue, and the site won’t launch until April. I’ll revisit this if the problem is still occurring then.

I can’t say with 100% certainty, but it appears that whenever I re-uploaded the plugin files, it would reset some of the settings. I’m only using the Simple Rating plugin on pages of some custom post types. Despite having those post types checked in the settings, they somehow would get reset to unchecked.

Also, I was using an updated rating.php with changes that you had recommended in another post on this forum, so I went around a few times, uninstalling the plugin, uploading the modified rating.php, re-inserting my wp_spr table backups into the database, etc., before I figured out what was going on and got it right.
