WordPress Plugin


The official Kissmetrics WordPress plugin is now available (download link). The source is also on Github.

When you use this plugin, you do not need to follow our usual instructions for installing the JavaScript snippet. The plugin takes care of that for you, and more.

Setup Instructions

  1. Download the plugin and extract the contents.
  2. Upload the entire kissmetrics folder to your /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
  3. In the WordPress admin dashboard, go to the Plugins menu and activate the plugin.
  4. Go to Settings menu, then to the Kissmetrics settings.
  5. Add your API key here and select which events you would like to have automatically tracked.
