KD Tracking Connector for OpenPanel

KD Tracking Connector for OpenPanel is a lightweight, standalone plugin that brings professional web analytics to your WordPress site without touching a single line of theme code. Everything is set up from one place: Settings → OpenPanel.

Under the hood, the plugin connects to OpenPanel, an open-source, privacy-friendly alternative to Google Analytics. Whether you use the official OpenPanel Cloud or your own self-hosted instance, the plugin handles the integration for you.

What you get

• Zero-code setup – enter a Client ID, flip a switch, done. No editing of functions.php or theme files required.

• Works with any theme – runs completely independent of your active theme.

• One settings screen – every option lives under Settings → OpenPanel, nothing scattered across menus.

• Self-hosted or cloud, your choice – point it at your own OpenPanel server, or leave the API URL empty to use the official cloud.

• Local script delivery – the tracking script is served straight from the plugin folder, avoiding an extra external request on page load.

• Fine-grained tracking control – toggle page views, outgoing-link tracking and data-track attribute tracking independently.

• Optional Session Replay – record mouse movements, scroll behaviour and clicks, with automatic input masking to protect sensitive form data.

• Built-in privacy safeguards – honour Do Not Track, exclude logged-in users, and automatically disable tracking on local/staging sites running WP_DEBUG.

• Translation-ready – ships with English and German (informal “Du” and formal “Sie”) out of the box; more languages are welcome via translate.wordpress.org.
