Your first recording

Use WordPress 6.6 or newer and PHP 8.1 or newer. Start on a staging copy with a database backup. ClickClue stores recordings in your WordPress database; it does not need a cloud recording account.

• Activate the plugin separately on each site. Network activation is not supported.
• Use transactional InnoDB tables on MySQL/MariaDB. Allow space beyond the replay payload limit for database indexes and backups.
• Use synthetic details and sample form submissions for your first test.

1. 1Download clickclue.zip from the Downloads page.
2. 2In WordPress, choose Plugins → Add New Plugin → Upload Plugin. Select the ZIP, install it and activate ClickClue.
3. 3Open ClickClue → Settings & privacy. New installations start with recording paused, 10% sampling, seven-day retention, a 250 MiB payload budget and page-text masking enabled.

1. 1Publish your website-specific privacy policy and select it in WordPress Settings → Privacy. The built-in replay prompt needs that published link.
2. 2Choose Prepare test settings to fill the form with recording enabled and 100% sampling. Review the consent prompt, excluded paths and private selectors, then choose Save settings. Preparing alone does not save.
3. 3Clear your page cache. At 100% sampling, every consenting, eligible tab can be selected while recording is enabled.
4. 4Copy the test link into a signed-out private window. Signed-in users, including administrators, are excluded.
5. 5Choose one public page and a question, such as whether someone can find the size guide. Grant replay permission, scroll to the details and try the relevant link using synthetic details. The test panel should confirm an upload.
6. 6Return to WordPress. Choose Check for my recording, then Review latest recording. Inspect masking and playback. Bookmark the recording and add a note describing the useful moment, what you observed and what you will check.
7. 7Restore normal sampling or pause recording after the test.

Choose Start tutorial at the top of the ClickClue dashboard. Free covers recording and review; Pro also includes page analytics and sharing. Pause or resume whenever you like. The walkthrough never changes recording settings, grants consent or connects a service.

Progress is a checklist you mark yourself, saved in the current browser for your WordPress account and edition. It is not a verified setup result. Reset tutorial progress clears only that checklist. You can use every feature without completing it.

Pro is a separate private add-on. Purchasing is not open yet. If you already have access, obtain the matching installer from your account and install it after Free. Keep both active. Existing preview installations do not start a subscription automatically.

Use the first-visit checklist in your WordPress workspace. Check recording readiness, open a signed-out test tab, give consent and make a short visit. Return to the workspace and watch the replay. A recording marked interrupted may have missing events; review the completeness label before interpreting it.
