If you use WordPress, you can install the LeadPost pixel easily with the help of our Pixel Assistant and the LeadPost Pixel Injector WordPress Plugin.
Getting the Pixel
When you scan your site with the Pixel Assistant, it will identify the fact that you're using WordPress. Then it will give you a link to click to grab the code from our system. Click that link and copy the code you see there.
Installing the LeadPost Pixel Injector WordPress Plugin
The Pixel Assistant will also give you a link to download the Pixel Injector plugin.
After you download the plugin, log in to WordPress to install it. Click the Plugins menu on the left and click Add New. Then, click Upload Plugin, and navigate to the folder in which you saved the plugin. Select the plugin and click Install Now.
When the plugin is installed, activate it by clicking Activate Plugin.
Clearing Your Cache
After you activate the plugin, it's important to note that many WordPress sites are hosted on platforms that have caching. If your host has caching, you'll need to clear the cache to ensure that the pixel fires on the website.
If you use WP Engine, you do that by going to the WP Engine menu and click Caching. The click Clear all caches.
If you're using different platform, run a web search for "how to clear your cache on WordPress." WP Beginner has a helpful article on this (How to Clear Your Cache in WordPress) that will walk you through the process for various platforms, including WP Rocket, WP Engine, and Bluehost.
Verify Installation
After that, log out of WordPress (or use an incognito window) and navigate to your website in a new browser tab to get the pixel to load. Then, go back to LeadPost. Now, in the first step of the Quick Start Guide, you should see an alert in green letting you know that your pixel has been detected.
