Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
  • Does this plugin work with WordPress 5.9+ Block Themes (Full Site Editing)?
    Yes! WordPress 5.9 introduced Block Themes (FSE) where the classic Appearance → Widgets menu is replaced by the Site Editor. You can easily insert any widget using the [live_traffic_feed] shortcode in a Shortcode block, or add the Live Traffic Feed block widget directly inside Appearance → Editor.
  • How do I use the [live_traffic_feed] Shortcode?
    Simply place [live_traffic_feed] in any post, page, or block theme template. You can also specify widget styles directly in the shortcode, e.g., [live_traffic_feed widget="live_map"], [live_traffic_feed widget="3d_map"], or [live_traffic_feed widget="flag_counter"].
  • Do I need a paid account to use this plugin?
    No! Live Traffic Feed is 100% free to use. Real-time visitor tracking starts automatically as soon as your widget is activated.
  • How do I track visitors without displaying any widget?
    In the plugin settings dropdown (or shortcode [live_traffic_feed widget="tracking"]), choose Invisible Tracking (no widget shown). It will load the tracking beacon in the background without rendering any visual element on your site.
  • Can I add multiple widgets to my WordPress site?
    Yes! You can add multiple instances of the Live Traffic Feed Widget or Shortcode to different sidebars, footers, or pages independently.
