How to Use Logs for Debugging in PixelYourSite

Last updated: February 12, 2026

Logs help you troubleshoot PixelYourSite by showing what the plugin is doing behind the scenes — especially what data is being sent to tracking APIs (server-side).

Important

Turn logs ON only when debugging.
Don’t leave logs enabled indefinitely — log files can grow very large and affect storage/performance.

General plugin logs

Shows general plugin activity and messages that can help identify setup issues.

  • Clear General logs: deletes current log entries
  • Download General logs: downloads the log file (useful for support)

API logs (server-side)

These logs are the best way to verify what data is sent via APIs:

  • Meta API logs: Meta Conversions API (CAPI) requests/responses
  • Google API logs: GA4 Measurement Protocol / Google API calls (based on your setup)
  • TikTok API logs: TikTok Events API
  • Pinterest API logs: Pinterest Conversions API

Use them to confirm:

  • the event name being sent
  • event time / IDs
  • value/currency and item data
  • user data/matching fields (as applicable)
  • API responses (success/errors)

Each section includes:

  • Clear … logs
  • Download … logs

Recommended workflow

  1. Turn ON only the log you need (General or a specific API).
  2. Reproduce the event (test purchase, add to cart, etc.).
  3. Check the log entries.
  4. Download if you need to share with support.
  5. Turn logs OFF when done.
