How to View the Click Map (Heatmap & Navigation Clicks)
How to View the Click Map
The click map is shown inside the Heatmap & Navigation Clicks tab on the page details screen. It renders your website inside an admin iframe and draws click clusters as an overlay, so you can see “what people actually clicked” right on top of the real page.
Open it:
WP Admin → WPMC Behavior & Heatmap → Heatmap Page List → Details → Heatmap & Navigation Clicks
Page URL parameter: page=wpmc-clicks-map-details&url=...
What you are looking at
The page (iframe)
The plugin loads the real page URL into a secure admin iframe via an AJAX endpoint. This makes the heatmap independent from your public theme layout in wp-admin.
The overlay (click clusters)
Clicks are grouped into clusters. Each dot shows a number — the number of clicks that happened in that area.
Click types (what the dots mean)
The overlay can display different click categories. The plugin stores them with an action
(for example click or
navigation)
and can also mark conversions with is_cta = 1.
How to see “real” clicks on the page
The map is interactive: hover near a dot/cluster to see what that click represents. Tooltips are generated from the stored click fields (such as navigation URL and metadata text) and from the page DOM (for example, image names/alt text).
Tooltip content examples
- Navigation: shows the destination URL (nav_to_url).
- CTA: shows CTA label / meta text (when saved).
- Image: uses image
alt/title, or filename. - Fixed element click: tooltip title becomes “Click on fixed element”.
Best workflow
- Pick the device type (mobile/tablet/desktop).
- Switch to Click mode to see discrete dots.
- Hover over hotspots and read the tooltip.
- Switch to Heat mode for overall intensity.
Tip: If you don’t see any dots, confirm that the BH tracker is enabled and that your post type is tracked in Settings. Then generate a few real clicks on the frontend and refresh the Details page.
