Matomo (formerly Piwik) Extension configuration requires two important steps:
- Establishing Connection with your Matomo (formerly Piwik) Site
- Assigning sites from your Matomo Site to Child Sites in your MainWP Dashboard
1. Establishing Connection with your Matomo (formerly Piwik) Site
- Login in to your MainWP Dashboard
- Go to the MainWP > Extensions > Matomo > Settings page
- Locate the Connect Matomo (formerly Piwik) Dashboard section
- Enter your Piwik Site (Dashboard) URL
- Enter your API Authentication Token (The API Authentication Token looks like this: c26364b7sfbb743f1xadea17f73c4132 (this is a sample number DO NOT use it in your installation). You can find your auth token in your Piwik Dashboard on the Personal > Settings > API Authentication Token page)
- Set the Connection Timeout Limit (We suggest 5-10 seconds)
- Set the Time Interval (Controls the visual time span of the Widget graph. You can view your sites for the past week or month)
- Set the Refresh Rate (Set how often you want to grab data from your MainWP Dashboard to update your reports)
- Click the Save Settings button
