I’ve entered the piwik address and Auth token in WP-Piwik Settings and it automatically added my blog to piwik successfully. I then went into tracking tab and activated it. I chose “use proxy script”. And in the line in the code used for tracking where the domain is shown says: * var u=”//piwik.domain1.com/”; * instead of: * var u=”//domain2.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-piwik/”; * as in your example. * So whatever option I choose (Default tracking, Use js/index.php and Use proxy script) the domain(u=””) stays the same. I’ve never seen the plugin working in“ Use proxy script” mode as it should, but having used the proxy script file myself outside wordpress, I suppose the url should change to //domain2.com/wp-content/ plugins/wp-piwik/ such as in your example, because otherwise it defeats the purpose of using a proxy script. * I really have no clue why this is happening. I’ve installed the plugin on like 10 different wordpress sites accross 3 totally different hosts and they all share the same issue. * I solved it temporarily by disabling the tracking in WP-Piwik, and installing a new plugin for inserting a Tracking Code in wordpress. Then I entered in there the same tracking code that WP-Piwik generated for the proxy script only with a modified url: * //domain2.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-piwik/ * Works as expected, but I would really like to use WP-Piwik as it is supposed to. * [djbit](https://wordpress.org/support/users/djbit/) * (@djbit) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/piwik-php-proxy-script-mode-doesnt-work/#post-5439724) * hmm … * I installed a new blog and indeed “Use proxy script” does not work. On my old blog it worked, so I went to see if there are any other settings. Interestingly after clicking on the “Tracking” code on the old blog has changed to normal. * Something is wrong with the plug, and exactly clicking a bookmark “Tracking” to change the code. * Can no longer change the code on the proxy. * How to solve it? * [djbit](https://wordpress.org/support/users/djbit/) * (@djbit) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/piwik-php-proxy-script-mode-doesnt-work/#post-5439725) * hmmmm I installed a lot older version 0.9.8.1, and it does not work. * What’s going on? * Not long ago, the option “Use proxy script” to work without a problem. * Thread Starter [spiritfly](https://wordpress.org/support/users/spiritfly/) * (@spiritfly) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/piwik-php-proxy-script-mode-doesnt-work/#post-5439727) * Just install a plugin called Tracking Code from the repository and put your tracking code as you wish to appear in there and disable the tracking in WP-Piwik. Just like I did. If it’s critical to you not to reveal your piwik url at any given point, you better not rely on dynamically generated tracking code like this script does. Even if you fix it now, It may give out your url again with some future update so you better not rely on it. * Just my 2 cents. * [djbit](https://wordpress.org/support/users/djbit/) * (@djbit) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/piwik-php-proxy-script-mode-doesnt-work/#post-5439728) * Thanks, I’ll do the same * Plugin Author [braekling](https://wordpress.org/support/users/braekling/) * (@braekling) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/piwik-php-proxy-script-mode-doesnt-work/#post-5439781) * Does this help?
