Post-Installation Verification #

After installing inPIPE, follow these steps to verify that the plugin has been installed correctly and is ready for configuration:

Basic Verification #

• Check that inPIPE appears in your WordPress admin menu
• Verify no error messages appear on the Plugins page
• Confirm that the plugin status shows as “Active”
• Check that the plugin version matches your installation

Database Verification #

The plugin automatically creates several database tables during installation. To verify these exist:

• wp_inpipe_pluginsettings – Stores core plugin settings and configurations
• wp_inpipe_utm_records – Stores UTM parameter tracking data
• wp_inpipe_service_connections – Manages external service integrations
• wp_inpipe_verification_data – Handles license and subscription verification

Note: The “wp_” prefix may differ depending on your WordPress database configuration.

Feature Verification #

To verify basic functionality:

1. Visit your website with test UTM parameters:

   https://yoursite.com/?utm_source=test&utm_medium=manual&utm_campaign=verification

2. Navigate to the inPIPE dashboard in your admin area
3. Check if the test UTM parameters were captured in the UTM records table
4. Verify that the plugin settings table contains the default configuration

REST API Verification #

inPIPE requires a functioning WordPress REST API:

1. Visit https://yoursite.com/wp-json/ in your browser
2. You should see a JSON response, not an error page
3. If you see a 404 error, check your permalink settings
4. Verify that pretty permalinks are enabled (not set to “Plain”)

Service Connection Verification #

If you’re using external services:

1. Check the service_connections table for any configured integrations
2. Verify that connection data is properly stored
3. Test any active service connections

Final Checklist #

Before proceeding to configuration, confirm:

• All required database tables are present and properly structured
• Pretty Permalinks are enabled (not set to “Plain”)
• The plugin shows its menu items in the WordPress admin
• No critical errors appear in your site’s error logs
• Basic UTM tracking is functioning correctly
• Service connections (if any) are properly configured

If all verification steps are successful, you’re ready to proceed to the Initial Setup & Configuration section to set up the plugin for your specific needs.

If any verification step fails, refer to the Common Installation Issues section for troubleshooting guidance.
