User Tracking Plugin

Last Updated: April 28, 2020

Knowledge Base → Add-Ons → Other Add Ons → User Tracking Plugin

Track which pages a user visits prior to submitting a form. This information can be viewed on the individual entry page in the admin and in email notifications.

Formidable Forms is the best WordPress Form Builder plugin. Get it for free!

This plugin replaces the tracking functionality which was removed from the core as of Formidable 2.0 in order to reduce the load on each page.

Download and Setup

  1. If you haven't already done so, install and activate Formidable Forms Pro.
  2. In your WordPress admin, go to Formidable → Add-Ons and click the Install button for the Formidable User Tracking plugin.
  3. Once activated, the plugin will immediately start tracking your users. After a new entry is submitted, go to the Formidable → Entries page and either view or edit an entry to see the collected data.

Add info in a View

If you would like to add tracking information to a view, you can use a bit of custom code to create a new shortcode that can be used within a view. Here's more information on how to use code examples like this.

add_shortcode('browsing', 'frm_browsing_data');
function frm_browsing_data($args){
    $id = $args['id'];
    global $wpdb;
    $description = $wpdb->get_var( "SELECT description from ". $wpdb->prefix ."frm_items WHERE id=". (int) $id );
    $browsing = maybe_unserialize($description);
    return $browsing['referrer'];
}

Now in your View, you can use [browsing id="[id]"] where you would like the tracking info to be displayed.
