Changelog

There was a minor bug that could cause light/dark mode to not activate properly due to a common conflict with other plugins

It was possible for a deadlock error to be triggered upon a post being viewed.

IA was validating the existence of the MMDB file used for geolocation on every admin page load. Now, it only checks once per day.

You can now programmatically add analytics data from IA into the MainWP Pro Reports email by using the provided tokens.

Some special characters could appear encoded when exporting reports to CSV and opening them with Excel.

The link text has been reworded, and they now open in new tabs when clicked.

Thrive Leads submissions were going untracked in the analytics.

Incorrectly formatted ID link patterns could be added without error. Now, these issues are caught and prevent badly formatted link patterns from being created.

Further improvement to the reliability of click tracking. Namely, this update gets tracking to work for sites that have limited permissions for temporary files.

You can now conveniently see which plugins Independent Analytics Pro integrates with in the Integrations menu, with your currently installed plugins highlighted.

Forms in Fluent Forms Pro are now tracked upon submission, whether or not they require double-optin.

If the site’s temporary directory is non-persistent, it will now be avoided, and a PHP file will be used instead to store the click data.

It was possible to trigger an E_ERROR due to an SQL deadlock when bulk updating a large number of posts.

The database request used to create the tracking script has been removed, so a large influx of bot visits can no longer trigger a max_connections error.

Implemented a backup solution for sites that are blocking the Ajax request used to load the Overview modules.

If you’re using the Independent Analytics for MainWP extension, you can now display stats in the Pro Reports sent to your clients.

The view counter could show up inside excerpts used in widgets outside of the main content.

Visitors coming from subdomains like go.bsky.app weren’t getting recognized as coming from Bluesky.

It now always gets the site’s active timezone.

The edit buttons were overlapping the module titles for right-to-left language websites.

In the Clicks report, the Target column was omitting any Hebrew characters in the URL. This likely was affecting other languages as well.

Ampersands now display properly when downloading a CSV table report.

There was a fatal error on the page if a non-admin with permission to view the analytics but not edit them viewed the analytics before the “Getting Started Guide” notice was dismissed.

If you use the Admin Site Enhancements Pro plugin to disable the REST API, the warning that IA shows now recognizes if you have whitelisted the iawp/search route.

There was an incorrect class property name that could potentially trigger a fatal error upon activating Independent Analytics.

If you aren’t able to use a class to track a link, you can now use an element’s ID to track it instead.

There is a new function documented in the API article that lets you grab the most popular posts of any post type from any date range.

If you are setting up a new site and then want to reset the analytics, you can reset all the data, and it will no longer delete the created link patterns or campaigns.

All translations in Independent Analytics Pro were updated.

They were reported as “Referral” type referrers until now.

Going forward, you will be able to see Facebook Ads traffic separately from your organic Facebook traffic.

You can choose from dark, light, or system to let you computer’s settings dictate whether IA is in dark/light mode.

You can set the IAWP_DISABLE_GEO_TRACKING constant to true in wp-config.php to disable geotracking.

On some sites, the required MMDB file fails to download and unzip. The retry mechanism attempts to resolve this on its own without requiring manual intervention.

The Buddy Boss theme, in particular, was affecting the styles of spinning icons in the UI.

The date picker is only scrollable on very short screens, so the scrollbar does not need to always be present.

The option to minify JS files was preventing the tracking script from firing, so it is now programmatically excluded from this option in their plugin

A check was added in case none of the recognized options for WP Cerber were found when checking for REST API compatibility.
