Piwik Analytics wordpress plugin
Download the latest version from the wordpress.org plugin directory
This is a basic wordpress plugin for the excellent Piwik web Analytics tool. It adds the piwik javascript code into every page of your weblog, so you don’t have to code PHP to add it to your templates.
It is based quite heavily on the Google Analytics wordpress plugin by Joost de Valk.
The following options are supported:
- piwk.php and piwik.js location
- site ID
- options to control download tracking
- option to exclude the admin user (probably you)
Please note this is BETA software. Please test it for me, report bugs, and leave feedback in the comments so I improve this software.
I will post a comment whenever I update the version. A FAQ will also be made, as soon as the first questions come in

I am trying out piwik on my music project site and impressed by far. Hope this plug in can make me use piwik further. Thanks.

Version 0.3 is out! It features a minor cosmetic change to the admin interface.
Also, you can get it now from the wordpress.org plugin directory!

[...] Note: There are plenty of excellent sites out there that provide detailed installation tutorials. The focus here is on Piwik as a tool for analyzing website traffic and its implications on the Web Analytics industry. The installation in Wordpress, however, was a breeze, and is now in fact even easier if you use the recently release Wordpress plugin. [...]

Hi, for people that suck like me, the piwik plugin does’t work… So, where do I put the Piwik code manually in Wordpress?
July 4th, 2008 at 08:25
@elephant_man
It depends on your theme. For my site http://loes.tv/ that uses the ‘techdesignscouk” theme, I altered the file *wp-content/themes/techdesignscouk/footer.php*.
Right before the end-body element, I placed the code:
< ?php wp_footer(); ?>
Hope this helps!

Hi, I’m seen this errors in the Piwik Analytics section in the admin panel:
Warning: unserialize() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in /home/guillote/public_html/dementemarginal.com.ar/wp-content/plugins/piwik-analytics/piwikanalytics.php on line 284
And
Warning: unserialize() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in /home/guillote/public_html/dementemarginal.com.ar/wp-content/plugins/piwik-analytics/piwikanalytics.php on line 65I’m using wordpress 2.6.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

@Agustin
This probably is a bug. I will look at it and make a 2.6 release later this week. I first have to upgrade my own blog
July 22nd, 2008 at 21:13
I just checked in version 0.4. This version is Wordpress 2.6 compatible.
Known issue: you probably have to re-set the plugin options. I am sorry for the inconvenience.
Please let me know if there are any troubles or other issues. Thanks!

I already use a standalone installation of Piwik to track several sites. Not all the widgets work, but the most important ones I need do.
Btw, I appreciate the work you do enough to have the link to the Piwik site in my Blogroll
July 23rd, 2008 at 06:31
I have few questions:
1. As I activated the plugin, with piwik installed on server, how long it takes for stats to come up … in 5 mins I had 0 traffic shown with plugin activated and set correctly.
2. If I for the test purpose want to see if plugin works, and want to insert the code manually, having a wordpress blog, is inserting the code in footer.php is enough, or I need to insert it on all pages?
3. In footer, should I insert it just above the:
or - the last two codes on footer.php
Tnx for the plugin and your assistance.

@E@zyVG
I cannot answer your first question for sure. You might want to ask the developers at http://piwik.org/
As for your 2nd and 3rd question: inserting the code in the footer.php code should work for most themes. Just check the page source. If it’s in there, it works.
The best place is to put the code just above the end-body tag.
