Installation and Activation

Installation and Activation

Install the plugin like any other WordPress plugin, then confirm that the database tables and settings were created. The plugin version in the main plugin file is 1.7.5.

Install from WordPress Admin

  1. Go to WP Admin -> Plugins -> Add New.
  2. Click Upload Plugin.
  3. Select the plugin ZIP file.
  4. Click Install Now, then click Activate Plugin.

Manual upload

  1. Unzip the plugin archive locally.
  2. Upload the folder to /wp-content/plugins/.
  3. Open WP Admin -> Plugins.
  4. Activate WPMC Visual Tracker – Behavior & Heatmap for WP.

What activation does

  • Creates or upgrades classic behavior tables through wpmc_create_db_tables().
  • Creates or upgrades the BH click table through wpmc_bh_create_tables().
  • Enables wpmc_bh_enabled by default on fresh installs.
  • Sets an activation redirect transient used by the intro hint module.
  • Loads updater configuration for the WPMissionControl update server.

Database tables

Table Stores
{prefix}wpmc_views Page view records, referrer type and URL, device type, duration, scroll depth, post type, and timestamp.
{prefix}wpmc_sessions Session ID, user ID, created time, end time, last activity, device, referrer, and user agent.
{prefix}wpmc_mouse_trails Mouse trail payloads with session, page URL, device, window size, and timestamp.
{prefix}wpmc_bh_clicks BH click events: coordinates, device bucket, action type, selector, navigation destination, CTA flags, metadata, and timestamp.

Note: {prefix} is the active WordPress database prefix, commonly wp_. The legacy wpmc_clicks schema is preserved in comments in the source for historical reference but is not created by the current activation routine.
