Overview
Installing the Wingify plugin for your WordPress sites enables you to create and run Wingify campaigns without writing a single line of code. After integrating the plugin, you can create unlimited tests from Wingify without any page tagging. The plugin also automatically tracks WooCommerce events, such as product views, add-to-cart actions, and purchases, which you can analyze using Wingify Data360.
Configuration and Setup
Install the Wingify Plugin (via Plugin Directory)
- Log in to your WordPress dashboard.
- Navigate to Plugins > Add New.
- Search for VWO in the search bar.
- Click Install Now next to the Visual Website Optimizer.
- Click Activate after installation.
Install the Wingify Plugin with ZIP (Optional)
As an alternate method, you can also download the plugin from a ZIP file. To do so:
- Download the plugin here.

- Navigate to Plugins > Add New.

- Click Install Now, then Activate.
Configure General Settings
- Go to Settings > VWO in the WordPress sidebar.

Configure WooCommerce Settings
- In the VWO Configuration page, navigate to the WooCommerce tab.

Configure Server-Side Tracking (Optional)
Server-side tracking allows event data to be sent directly from your server to Wingify, ensuring better accuracy by bypassing browser-based blockers.
- From the WooCommerce tab, turn on the Enable Server-Side Tracking toggle.
- Click Save Changes.
Verify Event Tracking in Wingify
- Log in to your Wingify account.
- Navigate to Data360 > Events.

Troubleshooting
| Issue | Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Smartcode is getting added to the footer causing the SmartCode detected at wrong position warning. | A custom code or a plugin moves all the script tags to the bottom of the page. | Some plugins or custom functions may move all scripts from the <head> to the bottom of the page to improve load times. Examples include optimization, caching, or script management plugins. Ensure you perform the following: Review installed plugins or custom code that handle script placement. Identify the plugin or script that defers or relocates JavaScript execution. Exclude the Wingify Smartcode from being deferred or moved to the bottom. This ensures the SmartCode does not get altered/moved to the bottom. |
Best Practices
- Ensure WooCommerce is installed and active before enabling WooCommerce settings.
- Use incognito mode to test if tracking works correctly (to avoid caching or cookie conflicts).
- Disable any conflicting optimization or caching plugins temporarily if SmartCode doesn’t load.
- If SmartCode is not available after activation, clear the cache after activating the plugin.
