Hey thanks for visiting MonsterInsights! Unfortunately no, you can’t. Here’s an easy-to-follow, step-by-step guide to setting up a WordPress site for less than $100: https://www.wpbeginner.com/guides/.
then why does the title have free in it.
Hi MW,
There are two version of WordPress: WordPress.com and WordPress.org. WordPress.com is a free blogging site (or you can pay for some upgrades), and most plugins are not built for it. WordPress.org is also free to download, but you pay for hosting and a domain in order to use it. That’s the version of WordPress that most plugins, like MonsterInsights, were built for. There is a free version of MonsterInsights that works on websites built via WordPress.org.
Comprehensive reports at the tip of your finger. Highly recommended.
I love Monster sights I’m still learning.
I paid for MonsterInsights Plus, but under Insights / General, it says “You’re using MonsterInsights Lite – no license needed. Enjoy! ”
How do I configure my site to be sure I’m actually using MonsterInsights Plus please.
