Woopra Installation Guide

Activating and installing Woopra is an easy, three step process.

  1. Step One: Activating Woopra
  2. Step Two: Install Woopra on Your Website
  3. Step Three: Installing Woopra on Your Computer

By installing Woopra during the beta testing phase, there are some responsibilities and restrictions you need to know about:

  • Woopra for Beta Testers Only: You are signing up as a beta tester to help us improve Woopra. See “How to Help Woopra and Woopra Members on the Forums” for more information on our expectations and responsibilities during the beta testing phase.
  • Beta Testing is Not for Sissies: Woopra is under beta testing development. There will be downtimes. There will be problems. There will be a great number of successes due to your detailed feedback and help. Be patient with us.
  • Approvals: Approvals are given in batches when resources are available. We currently have more than 30,000 approved beta testing users testing the system’s resources.
  • Use the Woopra Forums: Report all bugs, problems, feature requests, and suggestions in the Woopra Forums.
  • Restricted to 10K Pageviews: Understand that Woopra is currently restricted to 10,000 pageviews per day during this beta testing phase. This allows us to offer more approvals and maximize resources during development.
  • Woopra Upgrades: When Woopra releases an upgrade to its desktop client, the program you install on your computer, you will be asked to exit the program and open it again in order for the automatic update feature to work. You will not be asked to download a new version unless you are participating in the alpha-testing phase. Plugins, extensions, add-ons, and other third-party programs may require downloading and installing. For more information, see Woopra Upgrades.

Connect with fellow Woopra members to learn more about how they are using Woopra through social media, networks, and on the forum. Teach others how to use Woopra and pitch in on the forums and elsewhere to answer their questions. We appreciate your support and encouragement.

Woopra Installation Methods

The following are site specific instructions for installing Woopra.
 

WordPress (Stand Alone) Installation

Woopra currently works with WordPress 2.5+ versions.

  2. Unzip it and upload woopra.php to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
  3. Go to the Plugins panel in WordPress and activate Woopra.
  4. Under the Dashboard panel, click on the Woopra tab.
  5. Enter your Website ID number in the Website ID column on the Woopra Website management panel .
  6. On the Woopra Panel in WordPress, you may optionally allow Woopra to track your WordPress administration pages, or auto tag your commentators (highly recommended) by checking the appropriate options.
  7. Update the configuration page and your installation is complete!
  8. Move to Step Three: Installing Woopra on Your Computer

Important Note: In order for the WordPress Plugin to work, your WordPress theme must have the following code immediately before the <?php wp_footer(); ?> and </BODY> element in the footer.php file which is found in your WordPress Theme directory under wp-content.

You can use the Theme Editor in the WordPress administration panel to select the footer.php theme file and manually add this line. After you save it, Woopra should work perfectly. If you still have problems you can also use the Manual Installation method.

 

Manual Installation

If you were successful at installing Woopra with a Woopra Plugin, you do NOT need to use this manual method.

  1. Copy the javascript code from within the My Websites page.
  2. Place the javascript link in the footer before the </body> of your website on all the pages to be tracked.
  3. Move to Step Three: Installing Woopra on Your Computer

Important Note: This method of installation will not integrate the user tracking functionality. It will not add Woopra features to your WordPress Administration Panels. Plugins are required to pass specific user identifiable details.
  

Third-party Woopra Plugins, Extensions, Add-ons, and Tools

The Woopra API makes it easy for third-parties to add features to Woopra, including plugins, add-ons, extensions, and tools to meet the needs of specific blogging, CMS, and website platforms. The following tools are available from third-party services. If you are having a problem with these, please contact the hosting organization or individual.

After installing the Woopra Plugin for your site, go to Step Three: Installing Woopra on Your Computer.

To use Woopra on other CMS, blog, and website platforms, check the Woopra Forums and the blog for announcements. Until then, please use the Manual Installation method.
 

Upgrading and Updating Woopra

Woopra automatically updates the desktop client version. To initiate the update, you will be asked to exit the program and restart it, and Woopra will download and install all the files you need to your computer. The notification will be on the blog, social networking services, the Woopra Forums, and on the Woopra desktop client program.

Remember, Woopra is undergoing intensive testing and development. During the beta testing phase, there maybe a loss of historical data and settings as major modifications are made to the underlying code. These changes do not impact your website or blog.

If you are having trouble with the automatic upgrade and restarting the program does not resolve the issue, search the Woopra Forums for others having the same issues and leave a detailed explanation of your operating system and version in order to help us resolve this issue if no one has reported it yet.

Occasionally, Woopra must update the code on servers during the beta testing phase, so server downtime maybe experienced. You will be able to login or access statistics on your site through Woopra. We keep these to a minimum, but do let us know in the forums if you are offline for more than 24 hours. When possible, we warn you in advance.

To update or upgrade a plugin, add-on, extension, or other Woopra supported or third-party program, you may be required to download and install the program. Follow the instructions for updating and upgrading your specific tool or program.
