WordPress
Install the Telescope plugin and connect your WordPress site with an access key.
The Telescope WordPress plugin connects your site as a connected source and reports what's happening inside it — PHP errors, user activity, form submissions, and WooCommerce order events — back to your Telescope account.
Connect your site
Install and activate the plugin
Add the Telescope plugin to your site and activate it like any other WordPress plugin. Once active, it adds a Telescope page under Settings.
Get an access key
Set up a telemetry source in your Telescope dashboard and copy the access key it gives you (it looks like tsp_...). This key ties the plugin to your team.
Paste the key into the plugin
Open Settings → Telescope, paste the key into the API Key field, and save. The plugin verifies the key immediately and shows a Connected status once your site is reporting.
What it reports
By default the plugin sends:
| Category | What it captures |
|---|---|
| PHP errors & warnings | Server-side errors and anomalies from your site. |
| User activity | Post changes, logins, plugin/theme activations, and updates. |
| Form submissions | Submission events (metadata only, not field contents) for WPForms, Gravity Forms, Contact Form 7, and Formidable. |
| Order tracking | Failed and successful WooCommerce orders, to watch checkout health. |
You choose which categories are sent from the plugin's Data Collection settings, and additional lower-level event types are available but off by default.
Sent asynchronously
The plugin reports events with non-blocking requests, so connecting it doesn't slow down page loads for your visitors.
