Use the official Convertmax WordPress plugin when you want fast setup for page activity and form-event tracking without custom script wiring.

What the plugin includes

  • admin settings to save your Convertmax public API key
  • tracking remains disabled until enabled by a site admin
  • optional consent gating via wp_has_consent('statistics')
  • optional exclusion of wp-admin user activity
  • optional on-site search event tracking
  • form tracking toggles for Contact Form 7, WPForms, and Formidable Forms
  • WooCommerce events for add-to-cart and completed purchases (when enabled)

Install the plugin

Choose one installation path:

Plugin listing: https://wordpress.org/plugins/convertmax/

  1. In WordPress Admin, go to Plugins > Add New.
  2. Search for Convertmax.
  3. Click Install Now, then Activate.
  4. Open Convertmax > General Options and save your API key/settings.

Option B: Manual upload

  1. Download and upload the convertmax plugin folder to /wp-content/plugins/.
  2. In WordPress Admin, open Plugins and activate Convertmax.
  3. Open Convertmax > General Options and save your configuration.

After activation:

  1. add your Convertmax public API key
  2. verify tracking is enabled
  3. decide whether admin users should be excluded
  4. enable only the form integrations you actively use
  5. if your site requires consent, enable consent-based tracking

Verification checklist

Use this quick check before launch:

  • load a public page and confirm a page activity event is sent
  • submit one enabled form and confirm a conversion/form event is captured
  • confirm consent logic behaves correctly when consent is missing
  • check that admin activity is excluded if that option is enabled
