UTMTrackr Lite

UTMTrackr Lite captures the five standard UTM parameters (utm_source, utm_medium, utm_campaign, utm_term and utm_content) from your visitors' URLs, keeps them in a first-party cookie for 7 days, and fills them into a WPForms or Contact Form 7 submission automatically. No manual hidden-field wiring, no third-party analytics account, nothing sent off your site. Tracked parameters

• utm_source
• utm_medium
• utm_campaign
• utm_term
• utm_content

Supported form plugins

• WPForms: smart tags
• Contact Form 7: mail tags and hidden-field backfill

The tracking core runs independently of any form plugin. If neither supported form plugin is installed, UTM values are still captured and preserved in the cookie, and no errors are raised. A plain HTML form, or any other form builder, can be wired up explicitly via UTMTrackr > Field Mapping (a CSS selector paired with a UTM key, no code required). Campaign Link Builder UTMTrackr > Link Builder builds a tagged campaign URL from a page address plus source, medium, campaign, term and content, with a one-click copy button. Everything happens in your browser; nothing is saved or sent anywhere. Shortcode [utmtrackr key="utm_source" default="direct"] shows a tracked value in a page or post. default is shown when there is no value yet. Settings import and export Settings > Advanced exports your settings and custom field mappings as a JSON file, or imports one, to move them to another site or keep a backup. A separate paid plugin, UTMTrackr, is available at utmtrackr.com.

1.1.3

• Changed: Link Builder: the editor and the generated link now share the width evenly.

1.1.2

• Changed: code clean-up. Campaigns are now remembered for a fixed 7 days.
• Changed: other plugins' admin notices are no longer hidden on UTMTrackr screens.
• Changed: every script and style is now loaded from its own file; there is no inline script or style any more.
• Security: every value read from a request, cookie or uploaded file is now sanitized as it is read and validated before use (settings form, settings import file, field setup, cookies).
• Security: the settings import accepts only a real uploaded .json file of at most 1 MB.
• Fixed: an imported settings file or settings form with a list where a text value belongs no longer prints a PHP warning or saves the word "Array".
• Fixed: on the Advanced tab, the Active/Disabled badge now changes as soon as you flip the toggle, not only after saving.

1.1.1

• Fixed: deleting UTMTrackr Lite with "Data Cleanup on Uninstall" on no longer removes data while the UTMTrackr plugin is still installed. The cleanup now waits until the last of the two is removed.
• Fixed: the plugin description on the Plugins screen now matches what this plugin does.
• Changed: the version and Help links now go to WordPress.org.
• Fixed: Consent mode "Cookie" now starts tracking once your consent tool's cookie is present, as described. Before, it never tracked unless your consent tool also called setConsent(true).
• Fixed: the Diagnostics "Reset my browser attribution" button now clears your attribution cookies. Before, it did nothing.

1.1.0

• Changed: the plugin is now called UTMTrackr Lite (folder and text domain utmtrackr-lite).
• Added: utm_term and utm_content are now tracked too, so all five standard UTM parameters are captured.
• Added: Link Builder: build a tagged campaign link from a page address plus the five UTM values, and copy it in one click.
• Added: the [utmtrackr] shortcode, with an optional default text, for example [utmtrackr key="utm_source" default="direct"].
• Added: settings import and export (Settings > Advanced).
• Changed: the cookie lifetime is now 3, 7 or 14 days (7 by default).
• Changed: settings pages show only what this plugin does.
• Changed: the plugin download now contains only this plugin's own code.

1.0.3

• Added: a Dashboard, now the first screen, with a setup checklist and shortcuts.
• Changed: a new top bar with the UTMTrackr logo, the main pages in one row, and the rest under Settings.
• Changed: clearer wording across the settings screens, and other plugins' notices are hidden on UTMTrackr screens.
• Changed: requires WordPress 5.3 or later.

1.0.2

• Fixed: WPForms submissions now fill any empty tracked UTM field at submission time, matching the Contact Form 7 integration, so a value that could not be filled when the form was displayed is still saved with the entry.

1.0.1

• Changed: admin JavaScript is now loaded via wp_enqueue_script() instead of inline <script> tags; a dynamic admin-menu style now uses wp_add_inline_style() instead of an inline <style> tag.
• Fixed: a hardened check against a malformed value reaching the integration-loading filter.

1.0.0

• Initial release: UTM tracking core (Source/Medium/Campaign) plus WPForms and Contact Form 7 integrations, Field Mapping for any other form, and a Diagnostics/Privacy settings page.
