Open the plugin’s settings page in Wordpress 3. On the Amplitude Settings page: - Enter the relevant Amplitude project’s API key in the text field. Instructions on locating your API key within Amplitude are available [here](https://www.docs.developers.amplitude.com/analytics/find-api-credentials/) - (Optional) Enable [Session Replay](https://amplitude.com/blog/introducing-session-replay) in addition to [Analytics](https://amplitude.com/amplitude-analytics): - Select the Enable Session Replay checkbox - Drag the slider to indicate your preferred Session Replay Sample Rate. More information about the sampling rate is available [here](https://www.docs.developers.amplitude.com/session-replay/sdks/standalone/#sampling-rate) - Select Save Changes == Frequently Asked Questions == =How can I contact you?= If you experience any issues or have questions not addressed by this FAQ, don't hesitate to contact us at plugins@amplitude.com =Where can I find my API key?= You can find your API key within project settings, see [here](https://www.docs.developers.amplitude.com/analytics/find-api-credentials/) for detailed instructions. =Do I need to do anything special if my Amplitude account is EU-based?= Yes, select the "Set Server Zone to EU" checkbox in Amplitude settings and save. =How does the plugin work?= The plugin installs an advanced version of our [Browser SDK](https://www.docs.developers.amplitude.com/data/sdks/typescript-browser/), adding the [Browser SDK script](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@amplitude/analytics-browser) before the tag of each of your website’s pages, and enables an advanced version of [Default Event Tracking](https://www.docs.developers.amplitude.com/data/sdks/typescript-browser/#configuration). If the [Session Replay](https://amplitude.com/blog/introducing-session-replay) checkbox is checked, the plugin also installs and activates the [Session Replay SDK](https://www.docs.developers.amplitude.com/session-replay/sdks/plugin/) with the [sampling rate](https://www.docs.developers.amplitude.com/session-replay/sdks/plugin/#sampling-rate) you've selected. =What events does the plugin track?= In addition to the [standard set](https://www.docs.developers.amplitude.com/data/sdks/typescript-browser/#configuration) of default events the plugin's advanced version of DET also captures : - Element Clicked - Element Changed =Is this Autotrack?= Generally, companies like Heap define their Auto-track/Autocapture capabilities as a comprehensive set of interactive tracking that captures every user interaction. Default Event Tracking Advanced targets two specific types of interactions, and our click tracking targets specific element types (like links, buttons, inputs, etc.) to limit the amount of noise in the data. Continuing to be intentional about the data we collect with our solutions helps mitigate a problem we've called out in the past with these solutions: tracking everything creates a lot of noise in the data. =Will this impact our event volume?= Yes. While we've limited click tracking to specific element types, this will count each click the same way as a precisely tracked event. The amount of the increase depends mainly on the organization. Companies just getting started with very few precisely-tracked events would significantly increase their event volume. At the same time, an org with an extensive tracking plan may experience a smaller change. (For example, we saw a 20-30% increase when we implemented it on our site). =Where can I find the source code and documentation for the scripts added by the plugin?= - Amplitude Browser SDK ([documentation](https://www.docs.developers.amplitude.com/data/sdks/browser-2/)) ([source code](https://github.com/amplitude/Amplitude-TypeScript/tree/main/packages/analytics-browser)) ([releases](https://github.com/amplitude/Amplitude-TypeScript/releases?q=analytics-browser&expanded=true)) - Advanced Default Event Tracking Plugin ([source code](https://github.com/amplitude/Amplitude-TypeScript/tree/v1.x/packages/plugin-default-event-tracking-advanced-browser)) ([releases](https://github.com/amplitude/Amplitude-TypeScript/releases?q=plugin-default-event-tracking-advanced-browser&expanded=true)) - Session Replay Plugin ([documentation](https://www.docs.developers.amplitude.com/session-replay/sdks/plugin/)) ([source code](https://github.com/amplitude/Amplitude-TypeScript/tree/v1.x/packages/plugin-session-replay-browser)) ([releases](https://github.com/amplitude/Amplitude-TypeScript/releases?q=plugin-session-replay-browser&expanded=true)) == Screenshots == 1.
