The Hotjar plugin works as expected and it took less than a minute to get it up and running! The whole process was super smooth (and by "process" I mean simply copy-pasting my Hotjar site ID into Hotjar settings).

It's a 5 star plugin as is, but I'd love the addition of a user role restriction so I can exclude administrators from user recordings.

Up and running in a minute

It seems the data isn't sent to Hotjar, finally I prefer using the JS integration directly.

Plugin is not working


…Now it won't even correctly verify the installation. The tracking script was in my website yet the HotJar control panel claimed over and over that it wasn't when I tried to verify the installation. I tried FOUR different browsers, since it claimed that ad blocking in my primary browser was preventing it from working. The other 3 browsers have no ad-blocking extensions. Still no dice. I could see the requests reaching the site while trying to verify, and I even tested the requests that were made and, sure enough, the tracking script was installed.



So… I'm done. I'll find another way to tackle the task I needed to complete. My HotJar account is deleted and I will no longer be suggesting it to my customers.
