Changelog
Click tracking could fail in some cases PRO
If a system temp file was created for storing click data but then later became unreadable/unwritable, it would prevent clicks from getting tracked.
Real-time analytics could miss data PRO
Referrers and Countries lists could be missing data when views from a session were both within and beyond the last five minutes.
Real-time Top 10 lists were getting out of order PRO
When the stats refreshed, the Top 10 lists were not getting reordered correctly.
Session durations miscalculated in the table
A bug in the calculation of session durations in the data table was causing them to be inaccurate by a small degree.
PDF report links hard to click
The links in the data table of the PDF report could be placed out of position and made difficult to click.
RTL style fix for notice
The Getting Started Guide notice was getting partially covered up by the WP sidebar for sites using an RTL language.
Added Swedish translation
The entire plugin is now translated into Swedish for free and Pro users.
PHP notice about translation timing
There was a PHP notice being triggered that the text domain was loaded too early. That has now been resolved.
eCommerce tracking for EDD & PMP PRO
eCommerce sales tracking has been added for Easy Digital Downloads and Paid Memberships Pro. Sales metrics are recorded automatically, like the integrations for WooCommerce and SureCart.
Clicks report can be grouped by link patterns PRO
By default, the table in the Clicks report lists every clicked link, including the Target URL. You can now group the table by link pattern instead to compare total clicks from each group.
Added External link pattern for click tracking PRO
If you want to track clicks on all outbound links, you can use the new External link pattern, instead of tracking individual domains with the Domain link pattern.
New option to download daily metrics to CSV
The existing CSV download would export all the data currently visible in the data table. This new option exports data similar to what you see in the chart i.e. metrics for each day shown in the report.
Form tracking added for SureForms and Kali Forms PRO
Form submissions for SureForms and Kali Forms are now tracked automatically.
Top form submissions and link patterns added to email report PRO
You can now see the forms with the most submissions and the link patterns with the most clicks in the email report.
Reply To address added to email report PRO
If the email report is being sent to clients and you want a custom address for them to reply to, this new option makes that easy.
Custom footer text added for email report PRO
You can now enter your own text to display in the footer of the email report.
Added click tracking support for video and audio elements PRO
Clicks on audio and video elements are now tracked. This includes audio and video blocks added in the editor.
Added SMS protocol for click tracking PRO
When using the Protocol link pattern, you can now select SMS to track all “sms:” links on your website.
Real-time chart direction reversed PRO
The charts in the Real-time analytics report read in the opposite direction of the other charts. They now display the most recent visitors on the right side.
Removed old CSV export options
The CSV export options in the Settings menu have been removed as they are no longer needed with better, more robust export options added more recently.
Added REST API notice for ASE Pro
If the REST API is blocked by the Admin Site Enhancements plugin, you’ll now see a notice alerting you of this issue.
Added button to block your IP address
There’s now a button you can click to quickly block your own IP address in the Settings menu.
Real-time Top 10 lists were out of order PRO
The Top 10 lists in the real-time report display views but were sorted by visitors, which was confusing.
WP HTML Mail compatibility PRO
The customization options in the WP HTML Mail plugin were breaking the layout of the email report.
Quick Stats no longer showing unfiltered data
When viewing a filtered report, the Quick Stats would show unfiltered data and then refresh with the correct data, which was confusing. Their display is now delayed until the correct data is fetched.
Filter condition buttons no longer removing hyphens from URLs
After adding a URL filter, the button displaying the filter condition was removing hyphens from URLs and capitalizing words within the URL.
WooCommerce checkout triggered an error PRO
An error was triggered when a view was recorded on the checkout success page. On most sites, the error was a silent PHP notice, but for some sites, this was returning an E_ERROR.
Error triggered on Formal German websites
On sites that use the formal variation of German, an error was triggered when viewing the analytics.
Resolved conflict with GiveWP
A fatal error was triggered when activating both Independent Analytics and the latest version of GiveWP.
Device data not tracked when AnalyticsWP is installed
AnalyticsWP and Independent Analytics both use the same code library to detect the visitor’s device. This was causing an issue where device data went untracked in IA.
Complianz plugin blocked tracking script
Under some conditions, the Complianz plugin would block the tracking script in IA. It has now been white-listed.
Very long URLs could trigger fatal errors
URLs longer than 256 characters could trigger a fatal error when IA tried to save these page views. URLs can now be as long as the true limit imposed by the web, which is 2,083 characters.
Automatically deleting old data didn't include clicks
Click data was still getting retained when the other data was deleted. Now, click data is also removed by the option to automatically delete old data.
Click-tracking request triggering 403 error in some cases PRO
On some sites, the click-tracking request would return a 403 due to the temporary file being writable but not readable.
Negative order values broke eCommerce tracking PRO
If a WooCommerce sale was refunded beyond its total so that it became a negative value, this would cause the eCommerce stats to report vastly incorrect numbers.
Added form tracking for WP Store Locator PRO
Form submissions for the WP Store Locator plugin are now recorded automatically.
Copy to Clipboard button added to Click Tracking menu PRO
Class link patterns now include a button to copy the class name to the clipboard.

Updated translations
Translations for German, French, Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese have been updated.

Click tracking now works with WP Engine PRO
There was a security measure implemented by WP Engine that was blocking click-tracking from working.
Translation warnings in WP 6.7
WordPress 6.7 introduced a new “doing it wrong” warning that was affecting IA users, and that warning is now resolved.

You can now track clicks on any link using the epub file extension.
Invalid report columns could cause a PHP error
Resolved an edge case where a report could have an invalid column and trigger a fatal PHP error.
Click tracking classes now work on parent elements PRO
Previously, the classes had to be added to the link elements themselves. Now, you can add the class to a parent element up to 7 levels of hierarchy higher than the link (or button) element. This enables seamless compatibility with Elementor, the block editor, and many other page-building tools.
Responsive fixes for the date picker
The date picker didn’t fully fit on the screen of mobile devices. Now, it adapts fluidly and is easy to use on all screen sizes.
