Testers Needed for the New Woopra WordPress Plugin
If you are a WordPress user, it’s time to start testing the new version of the Woopra WordPress Plugin.
Shane has been working on the next version of the Woopra WordPress Plugin to handle not only the current versions of WordPress but also prepare it for WordPress 2.9 and beyond.
One of the things that WordPress will be requiring soon is a new way that settings are also stored…everything been moved into a single variable as a serialized array.
WordPress is changing a lot of things within their code for handling settings and Plugin interaction, especially as it moves from the single hosted version to the multi-blog option associated with WordPressMU. Shane goes into more depth about the new changes in the Plugin on his blog in Preview of the updated Woopra WordPress Plugin.
In the forum post, Woopra WordPress Plugin – 1.4.1-Pre – Need Testing, Shane invites WordPress and Woopra testers to help him test the new version, focusing on “first time” use of the new system.
We need skilled WordPress users working with the latest version of WordPress or one of the nightly subversion versions of WordPress 2.9 and the latest release candidate of Woopra. Some aspects of the new Woopra WordPress Plugin are not completed, so this is not for the weak of heart nor technical skill.
For those using any of the release candidates for Woopra, please do not use the Woopra WordPress Plugin as it doesn’t work with that version. Use the manual installation method with the latest version of the JavaScript from the Members Area.
Those of you using Woopra 1.2 Beta, you may experience some problems with filters, tracking, and data as we have totally changed the server code as well as the desktop client’s interaction with the server code, and there are some backwards compatibility issues. Please update your JavaScript from the Members Area if you haven’t already, and thanks for your patience as we make the transistion to the next version very soon. Check the Woopra Forums sticky notes for more details on issues as we move to the next version.
Thanks to all for your input, bug reports, feature requests, and for helping us make Woopra even better. If you would like to help us test the new Woopra WordPress Plugin, check out the information in the forum post, and thanks.
I really tried it, but I don’t understand this part ;-)

I use the latest Desktop-Appc, RC…
When I use/test the new Wordpress-Pre-Plugin, I should put the JS-Code into the footer by my own?! Because the plugin won’t do it?!
As stated, do not use the WordPress Plugin unless you are testing it for the new version. Use the manual method only, do not run them at the same time.
And this is not advised to run on a production site.
I tried the woopra-1.41-pre I got some warnings. [Code removed for security purposes] I’m using wordpress-2.8.1.
Please report these issues on the forum which Shane and the other developers are tracking. And take care not to include any code that could invite hackers or risk the security of your site. Thanks for helping!
@Shane: You mean to not run the WordPress Plugin on any “active” site but on test sites as it is libel to do more harm than good at this stage of development – which is why it was recommended to not be tested by anyone other than those with code development skills and strong hearts. :D Good recommendation.
A new plugin I can’t w8 for it to be done
thanks for making a new plugin
the old plugin does not seem to be working all the way.
the woopra chat thing does nto seem to work on my WP
so I hope it works in the new plugin
The Live Chat feature doesn’t need the WordPress Plugin to work. It has nothing to do with it. It is triggered through the Woopra desktp client (software). As mentioned on the forums, the chat is under complete reconstructions and will be available in the next update if the testing goes well. Thanks.

Now I’ve heard that the current Woopra plugin doesn’t work with the new RC’s yet I’m using Woopra 1.3 RC2 beta and the plugin, for the most part, has been working fine. I don’t use the chat feature so I have no idea about that but the standard filters in the “Analytics” section are also apparently working okay. Is there anywhere I can go to read about what doesn’t particularly work when using the current Woopra (WordPress) plugin with the newest RC of Woopra desktop client? I haven’t been able to find anything on it and it would help immensely if I knew what I was supposed to be looking for.
Using WordPress 2.8.1 on two sites with the current stable release of the Woopra plugin.
Yeah. This is *not* good for active. Only testing. More to come later..
I just installed it tonight on 2.8.1. It’s working great so far. I will let you know if I see any issues.
I installed it last night. It’s working great so far on 2.8.1 with 45 other plugins. I will let you know if I see any issues. Woopra is an awesome tool. Nice work!

Using the latest 1.4.1.1 WP plugin with 2.8.4 WP Install.
I have never seen the intergrted stats using default settings, but I changed>Woopra>Analytics Link Location to At the top level menu it displays.
Set to at the dashboard menu shows no link on the main Dashboard menu.
Chat doesn’t work using this plug in but the manual code in the footer does.
I think the manual code option is better for me as I can set up alerts on the desktop, bo be fair it’s a nice mod, but I prefer the desktop client.
