Inserting the correct tracking code
Currently, you will need to edit your tracking code for it to work with LightCMS.
Please replace the second to last line in your tracking code as follows:
Replace:
})(window,document,'//static.hotjar.com/c/hotjar-','.js?sv=');
With:
})(window,document,'//static.hotjar.com/c/hotjar-','.'+'js?sv=');
Your Hotjar Tracking Code is now installed.
Clear Browser Cache
To ensure that the script is working correctly, clear your browser cache before returning to the store to test the script.
Once you have added the Hotjar Tracking Code to your site, you will need to wait a few minutes for Hotjar to check if it is installed correctly. This usually happens the moment your site is loaded with the Hotjar code on it (you can visit the page yourself to speed it up). Once Hotjar has detected the Tracking Code on your site, the Site Dashboard will show a notice like the one below:
Note
If sometime after installing the Tracking Code your website undergoes a major design change where themes and template files are replaced or content in your <head></head> tags or anywhere else the tracking code is installed, are replaced, it's a possibility you will need to re-install the Tracking Code.
After making major design changes, please check to ensure your Tracking Code is still installed.
