FAQ

Plugin is not working

Please disable all plugins and check if shortcode plugin is working properly. Then you can enable all plugins one by one to find out which plugin is conflicting with plugin.

Plugins is consuming too much resources

The pageview is incremented on the database everytime a user visits a page but this can start getting quite expensive on high-traffic websites. We’ve added the filter wpt_sampling_rate which you can use to lower the sampling rate from the default 100%. Note that setting this value too low will result to innacurate pageviews.

<?php function wpt_my_sampling_rate( $rate ) { // Reduce the percentage of pageviews recorded to 80%. return 80; } add_filter( 'wpt_sampling_rate', 'wpt_my_sampling_rate' );
