Description

This plugin will install a Meta Pixel for your page so you can capture the actions people take when they interact with your page, such as Lead, ViewContent, AddToCart, InitiateCheckout and Purchase events. It also includes support for the Conversions API.

You’ll be able to see when customers took an action after seeing your ad on Facebook and Instagram, which can help you with retargeting. And when you use the Conversions API alongside the Pixel, it creates a more reliable connection that helps the delivery system decrease your costs. Learn More

The Conversions API is designed to create a direct connection between your marketing data and the Meta systems, which help optimise ad targeting, decrease cost per action and measure results across Meta technologies. Learn More

This plugin – no longer compatible with PHP that the rest of our plugins use. This just won’t work for us.

The plugin works ok, but no longer compatible with 7.3 PHP, you need to upgrade to PHP 8 or it doesn’t work. That’s not always possible since every other plugin we have will stop working.

Ao tentar conectar ele fica carregando e não conecta.É impressionante como não conseguem acertar em um plugin estável.

I would expect such popular plugin to support older versions of PHP. Expecting everyone to be on PHP 8+ is really sad decision making..

This plugin exposes the email address of your Wordpress admin user account. That’s really not a good idea. Best avoided.
