might have to do with php version, try downgrading to PHP 7.3 to verify if this is a server configuration or an issue with the plugin code.

In my opinion it’s most likely an incompatibility with new PHP versions, something that the developer has to fix.
rolling back to php7.3 should solve it until they do.

This has nothing to do with the plugin.
It’s facebook advertising 101 , you really need to learn this before you burn money on ads.
Facebook has a free course and lots of information, just check out Facebook Blueprint at the bottom of the page!
https://www.facebook.com/business/ads

Generally though, you should never use Traffic campaign if you can actually install a pixel properly.
if you want comments on the facebook post itself, use Post Engagement for broad audience, and/or Reach campaign for an already-engaged audience e.g people who have interacted with your page, website, or content.
for Post Engagement campaigns, it’s often better to use a static image for your ads, or carousel with images – and not a video post, due to the retarded way facebook is counting Engagements on video posts. (every accidental view is considered engagement! )
if you want comments on your actual wordpress landing page, then you need to install a custom pixel even to fire every time someone comments, and after you get 50 events like those, change the campaign objective to Conversions and select that custom event to optimize for.

Amazing work Sir!
Looking forward to it.

Would you consider adding Forms integration, to fire facebook pixel Standard Events upon form submission?
e.g: Lead, Purchase, Schedule, CompleteRegistration etc.
fbq(‘track’, ‘Lead’);

The ‘official’ plugin by facebook does this, but lacks control and customization over which event to fire per form.
Of course, doing this via server-side conversions API would be the only way to reliably record these events (especially due to iOS14 changes, and first-party cookies enforcement).

At fb’s plugin github you can see their methods.

I would defo pay a premium for such enhancement ??

@antoscarface ‘Say hello to my little friend!’ ??

Thanks for the update! hope so.
Appreciate your work.

Make Pixel Caffeine GREAT AGAIN!

yup, it’s a joke. their OWN plugin, with official WooCommerce support – is calling deprecated functions that may soon turn into critical errors.

@phirefly yup, pixelyoursite is a huge mess, UX wise..
hopefully pixel caffeine catches up to the basic features of facebook conversion api and Standard Events. at the moment it is great as a standalone pixel, but not suitable for ecommerce / marketing forms.

obviously @antoscarface maintains this for free and all the praise to him for creating a lightweight, bloat-free and ad-free plugin ??
That said, and huge thumbs up don’t get me wrong.. but I’d defo pay a premium to have better ecommerce support, conversion api server-side events, and third-party Form plugins support (Gravity Forms,WPForms,Contact Form 7 etc) with ability to fire facebook Standard Events based on type of form (Lead,CompleteRegistration,Contact,Schedule etc).

broken. use facebook-woocommerce plugin (if you’re using woocommerce) , or try PixelYourSite plugin, works miles better than the ‘official’…

if you’re using Woocommerce, switch to the official facebook-woocommerce plugin.

but in all honesty, i gave up on these plugins long ago.. nothing ever works 100%.

try PixelYourSite , at least it fires all events out of the box with no issues…

the added features are :
product feed and catalog sync
custom audience creation
custom conversion event triggers

huge missing feature, which is a deal breaker to many –
does not support facebook conversions api.
this means all pixel events are fired on client side, not server side.
for ecommerce, this means that many people with newest chrome/firefox and adblocks will block the 3rd party cookie of facebook and then Purchase events won’t fire.

I recommend using Facebook official or PixelYourSite until this plugin is revamped with server-side FB Conversions API

Try measurement protocol. make sure you set all fields of the Goal setup in GA, including Exact Value type for each one.

Also, if you’re using caching plugins, turn them off for 48h.
Especially Autoptimize , it doesn’t always play nice with tracking code out of the box.

you have to set your Goals in Google Analytics admin, then go into Google Ads and import from Analytics.

FYI conversion lag using GA import is up to 24h so this is not ideal for lead generation if you optimize campaign for form events.

Saw this just now.
Amazing work! Thank you for the ongoing support.
I will test it and report back ??

appreciate the quick response. you’ve proven time and time again that you stand behind your code and try to improve it rather than stuff it with bloat, useless features and FUD.

I wish this plugin was more compatible with my setup, as it seems I’m on one of those edge cases, even though my setup is basic and standard, something must’ve gone wrong down the line.

I rolled back to 3.2.4 and it’s fine. I’ll stick with it as much as I can, but seems like I’m going to have to switch to another plugin :'(

Nevertheless, thanks for the ongoing support.

finally managed to find out what was going on..
after woocommerce memberships plugin was updated from 1.10.5 to 1.10.6, there is an error with the stripe plugin when used in combination with memberships+subscriptions that have a Free Trial set for the product.
reverting WC memberships to 1.10.5 is a temp fix.
honestly i have no idea where the issue is, either with stripe or wc memberships. but i do not intend to find out.

Leaving this here in case someone wants to tackle this.

CRITICAL Uncaught Error: Call to undefined method WC_Memberships_User_Membership::set_free_trial_end_date() in //wp-content/plugins/woocommerce-memberships/includes/integrations/subscriptions/class-wc-memberships-integration-subscriptions.php:415

Can close this ticket or investigate..

this only happens with WooCommerce Subscription products.

I have an older staging site that does not exhibit this issue.
this is not a backend configuration issue, i confirmed this too.

@royho could you please help out?
