About this project

## Overview The Open Web Analytics (OWA) for WordPress plugin is the official bridge between the OWA analytics platform and WordPress‑based websites or applications. By installing the plugin, site owners can automatically collect detailed usage data without modifying theme or core files. ## Key Features - **Comprehensive page tracking** – records visits to all public pages and to the WordPress admin interface. - **Action logging** – captures internal WordPress events such as new posts, page edits, comment submissions, and other admin actions. - **Automatic metadata** – page titles, page types, and logged‑in user names are set automatically for richer reports. - **Seamless integration** – once activated, the plugin injects the required OWA JavaScript snippet into each page. ## System Requirements - WordPress version 5.2.0 or newer. - PHP 7.0 or later. - An existing Open Web Analytics installation (or the ability to install OWA on the same server). ## Installation Steps 1. Visit the WordPress plugin repository and click **Add New** → **Install** for "Open Web Analytics". 2. Activate the plugin from the WordPress admin panel. 3. Configure the OWA server URL and site ID in the plugin settings page. ## Development & Contribution If you wish to contribute: 1. Clone the repository from GitHub. 2.
