Overview #
After upgrading to the premium version of Transmute Engine, the inPIPE free plugin controls and manages the Transmute Engine service on your WordPress site. This guide will walk you through activating your subscription to unlock all premium features.
Once activated, your Transmute Engine will have full access to advanced tracking capabilities, enhanced analytics integration, and premium support features.
How to Activate Your Subscription #

You can access the subscription settings in two ways:
- Click the Subscription tab inside the inPIPE plugin interface

Next Steps #
Now that your subscription is activated, you can configure your Transmute Engine settings:
- Set up your GA4 Measurement ID and API Secret Key
- Configure event tracking preferences
- Customize your analytics integration
- Make sure tracking is switched on
- Test your tracking implementation
Making Sure Tracking is Switched On #
After activating your subscription and configuring your credentials, you need to ensure that tracking is enabled so events can be sent to your analytics platforms.
Where to Control Tracking #
Tracking in Transmute Engine is controlled in two key areas:
1. outPipes Area #
Each individual outPipe (analytics destination) has its own tracking toggle:
- Navigate to the outPipes section in your inPIPE plugin
- Each configured outPipe (like GA4, Facebook Pixel, etc.) has an on/off switch
- Make sure the outPipes you want to use are enabled
- You can selectively turn outPipes on or off without affecting others
2. Master Switch in Settings Tab #
There is also a master tracking switch that controls all tracking globally:
- Go to the Settings tab in your inPIPE plugin
- Look for the main tracking on/off toggle
- This master switch controls whether any tracking occurs
- Even if individual outPipes are enabled, tracking will not work if this master switch is off
- Important: Make sure this is set to ON for tracking to function
Viewing Event Activity #
To verify that tracking is working and see what events are being sent:
- Navigate to the Events tab in your inPIPE plugin
- Here you can view real-time event activity
- See which events are being triggered
- Monitor which outPipes are receiving events
- Troubleshoot any issues with event delivery
Quick Checklist:
- ✅ Subscription activated
- ✅ GA4 credentials configured
- ✅ Individual outPipes enabled (in outPipes area)
- ✅ Master tracking switch ON (in Settings tab)
- ✅ Events visible in Events tab
Troubleshooting #
Activation key not working? #
Double-check that you have copied the entire key from your email, including the SER- prefix. Ensure there are no extra spaces before or after the key.
Activation fails with error message? #
Make sure your WordPress site has a stable internet connection. The plugin needs to communicate with our activation servers. If problems persist, contact support with your subscription key.
Premium features not appearing after activation? #
Perform a hard refresh of your browser (see instructions above). If features still do not appear, try logging out of WordPress and logging back in.
