Tracking on Related Posts

  • I was wondering if there is a way to add some google analytics code to the related posts listed after each article. I essentially want to see how many people actually use the related posts plugin.

  • Yes there is. Just add utm parameters to the template. I use the simple template and this is what it looks like after modification to include UTM parameters

    <?php 
/*
Template Name: Simple
Author: mitcho (Michael Yoshitaka Erlewine)
Description: A simple example YARPP template.
*/
?>
<?php if (have_posts()):?>
<ol>
	<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
	<li><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>?utm_source=internal&utm_medium=related_posts&utm_campaign=mobile" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a><!-- (<?php the_score(); ?>)--></li>
	<?php endwhile; ?>
</ol>
<?php else: ?>
<p>No related posts.</p>
<?php endif; ?>

    The major change is the utm parameter (?utm_source=internal&utm_medium=related_posts&utm_campaign=mobile) added after php the permalink
