There are 3 tools you can use to test and debug Meta Pixel integration:
- Pixel Helper browser extension for Google Chrome and other Chromium-based browsers (almost all except Firefox)
- Event Manager page in the Facebook Business panel
- WP Full Picture debug mode
Method 1. Pixel Helper browser extension
Pixel Helper browser extension can be installed on Google Chrome and other Chromium-based browsers.
Once installed, it will find Meta tracking scripts on websites you visit (so not only yours) and give you information, what kind of data they track.
Method 2. Events Manager
To access Events Manger:
- Visit your Facebook Business panel
- Click “All tools” > “Events manager”
3. Choose your Meta Pixel
4. Choose the “Test events” tab
5. Choose what you want to test and follow information on screen
If you want to test server events, you will have to enter the test event code to the correct field in the settings of your Meta Pixel integration
This field will be visible only once you fill in the Conversion API field
Method 3. With WP Full Picture’s setup helper
- Enable Setup helper in the top menu
- Visit the homepage of your website
- Click the “WP Full Picture” icon on the left of the screen and click “Start testing”
- Open browser console (click right mouse button anywhere on the page > click “Inspect element” > click “Console” in the panel that will show up)
- Browser a little. Information about tracked actions will show up in the console.
