How can I check if my Facebook Pixel WordPress integration is working?
After setting up your Facebook tracking pixel, you’ll probably want to make sure the pixel is working correctly on your WordPress site. Here are some tips and tricks:
- Important: What to do if my Pixel is not working?
If your Pixel appears not to be working and you are using a caching or speed plugin, try clearing the cache and setting the Pixel Cat plugin to be ignored for caching.
- The best way to check if your Pixel is working is by using the Facebook Pixel Helper Chrome plugin.
- Important: If you’re logged into WordPress, the Pixel might not be displayed for you. Thus, please either log out of WordPress or check your Pixel in a new Incognito Window in Chrome.
- The Facebook Pixel does not work in real-time. In our experience, pixel data takes about 30 minutes (sometimes longer) before it shows up in your Facebook account. That’s why you’ll want to use the Facebook Pixel Helper Chrome plugin to check if your pixel is working.
- Alternatively, use the Facebook Test Events tool.
That’s it – you’ve now successfully installed a Facebook pixel on WordPress.
