Reviews
what people actually sayTracking Code Manager is generally well-regarded as a simple, easy-to-use tool for injecting tracking scripts into WordPress sites, but it carries a notable caveat around a deceptive licensing model and a persistent caching conflict with WP Super Cache.
What people like
- +Easy to set up and use for managing tracking/marketing scripts×8
- +Works well with WooCommerce for tracking ad conversions
- +Responsive support, including for free-tier users×2
- +Pro version considered reasonably priced
Common complaints
- −Breaks WP Super Cache by injecting a WPPost object into $_POST, making pages non-cacheable×3
- −The caching bug has been a known, recurring issue that the developer has not properly fixed, only providing code snippets for users to patch themselves
- −Deceptive Pro licensing: plugin becomes inaccessible (option panel locked) after license expiry, contradicting the developer's own pre-sale claim that the product would still work after expiry
- −No footer code injection option in the free version
