OWA server used to come with a bundled plugin for use with WordPress (wp_plugin.php). That bundled plugin is now deprecated and will be removed from the OWA distribution in an upcoming release.

There is now an official OWA integration plugin for WordPress that can be installed directly from the WordPress repository. Benefits of this new plugin are:

  • Contains all the functionality of the old plugin
  • Settings from the old plugin are preserved, providing a seamless migration
  • No longer requires that OWA be installed on the same server as WordPress!
  • Send Tracking events from any number of Wordpress websites to a single instance of OWA Server.
  • Plugin communicates with OWA entirely over the web (no filesystem/php access required).

How to Migrate from the old Bundled plugin (wp_plugin.php)

  1. Install the new plugin from the WordPress plugin repository
  2. Activate the new plugin (the new plugin will automatically disable the old plugin)
