Well first of all, we are sorry for the long delay in updating this plugin! We've been busy at work on Fathom V2 all year. In this major update of the wordpress plugin, we've ensured backward compatability but have modified the guidelines to include some of the new changes we have made. Firstly, the concept of a "Dashboard URL" doesn't exist within V2, and you simply use the CDN URL! Nice and easy. But we have left the Dashboard URL in place for our V1 users who self-host. We've also added the ability for V2 users to embed their dashboard & create a new tab in the admin menu.

22
+
23
+
**Where can I find the plugin settings?**
24
+
This plugin has just a single settings field, which can be found by going to WP Admin > Settings > Fathom Analytics.
25
+
26
+
**Where do I find my SiteID?**
27
+
Your SiteID is the unique code in your tracking snippet. Go to your Dashboard, click Settings, then Sites. The SiteID is the second column, copy and paste it from there into the field on the settings page in WordPress.
28
+
29
+
**What’s the Fathom share password?**
30
+
In order to use Fathom Analytics for WordPress your dashboard must be set to “Public” or “Viewable to anyone with the share password”. If your dashboard is public, skip the Fathom Share Password field. If your dashboard is set to have a share password, enter that password in this field.
31
+
32
+
**What’s the Fathom Fathom URL?**
33
+
Leave this set to “cdn.usefathom.com” unless you are using Fathom Lite (the OS version), and in that case, enter the tracker URL you are using.
