    Thank you Mikael, I understand WordPress is php but I didn’t have enough information from Hisham about what kind of system he was using or if Clickheat was already installed correctly on his system (the most common cause of a problem with the plugin)

    Please look at your page source code and see if the footer tracking script was installed. If not, you will need to modify your theme to include the wp_footer() code block

    Adding the ?debugclickheat to the end of any permalink should allow you to see a debug box like the one I added to the post today.

    Also, if you are currently logged in as an admin the system will remove the tracking code so your clicks will not be tracked. Please try logging out of your system and see if that makes a difference.

     
     
     
  • awesome – I tried the manual installation of ClickHeat and it crashed my pages in IE6. Go figure.

    This plugin, however, works beautifully!
    Thanks

  • I have the clickheat software set up. I also have the clickheat plugin activated.

    I checked the footer.php in the theme and do not see the code produced.

    Any suggestions?

    1.) verify wp_footer() is in your current theme.

    2.) Please try logging out of your system and see item #5 above for an explanition:

    “Please note: the system will not track clicks from admin users that are logged in.”

     
     
     
  • Is wp_footer and footer.php the same? I have a footer.php.

     
     
     
  • Impression Engin..

    No, Wp_footer is a function that is called inside your theme file usually in footer.php to add the necessary code for plugins such as this one.

    Please reference the WordPress theme development site for more details:

    http://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development#Basic_Templates

     
     
     
  • My footer.php file has this line of code:

    Is that what you are speaking of?

     
     
     
  • I think there’s a issue with this plugin. My theme is Revolution Tech and I have footer.php as well. What do you mean with wp_footer()? I checked a few other themes and all of them have get_footer(); included, but none wp_footer? Can it be that wp_footer is old and only used in former WP Themes or old WP versions? Whatever I tried to change or not Clickheat is not working. No JavaScript appears on the page or in the footer. Even not if I am not logged into WP and cleared cache and Cookies.

    Here is the description of the function from the Codex for theme developers. wp_footer is a function that is used usually in the footer.php file of a theme to add sitewide code at the end of the page. This function needs to be in your theme for the system to work.

    http://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development

    wp_footer

    Goes in the “footer” of a theme; footer.php template. Example plugin use: insert PHP code that needs to run after everything else, at the bottom of the footer.

    Usage: < ?php do_action('wp_footer'); ?>
    -or- < ?php wp_footer(); ?>

    Also, the system will not add the code if you are currently logged into the WordPress admin section. Please look at the code while logged out or on a different computer.

    I am using this plugin on a WP blog. Version 2.9.2 (hope its compatible).
    My theme calls in the footer.php file but not as specified in this article. So I am wondering if adding the plugin code directly to footer.php will solve the issue? If yes, can you please point me to the code that should be added to the footer.php

     
     
     
  • Impression Engin..

    Hi Syed,

    The wp_footer()is necessary for many plugins to functions properly. It can be easily fixed by adding the code

    < ?php wp_footer(); ?>

    to footer.php file of your theme as described here

    http://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development

    You can manually add it but it makes any future changes a pain to manage

    Hi Guys,

    The WP plug-in does not seem to be compatible with 2.9.2. Any upgrade coming out soon? I have installed the script manually but that will be a pain with upgrades.

    Thanks for the help!

    Hi Phil,

    We have tested it to 2.9.1 without any problems. What exactly seems to be the issue with the .9.2? Is the code not being added correctly or is the admin area not working?
