Steps
Go to: Settings > Usheru Tracking > Manual tracking rules
Manual rule fields
Active
Turns Using Tracking in Elementorthe rule on or off.
Rule name
Internal name for the rule.
Example:

or:
.premium-card .elementor-button
Trigger
Choose the action to track
Load on
Controls where the rule is loaded.
Available options:
Entire site
Specific pages/posts
Post type
URL contains
URL regex
Entire site
The rule loads everywhere.
Use carefully.
Best for global elements.
Specific pages/posts
Use page or post IDs separated by commas.
Example:
12, 34, 56
Use this when the rule is only needed on known pages.
Post type
Use post type slugs separated by commas.
Example:
page, post, tribe_events
Use this when the rule should apply to all posts of a specific type.
URL contains
Use a partial URL path.
Example:
/premium/
This rule will load on URLs that contain /premium/.
Useful for grouped landing pages.
URL regex
Use a regular expression for advanced matching.
Example:
^https://example.com/events/
Use only when simpler conditions are not enough.
Datalayer values
Manual rules can also use DOM tokens:
[value:CSS_SELECTOR]
[attr:ATTRIBUTE_NAME]
[closest_attr:CSS_SELECTOR:ATTRIBUTE_NAME]
[closest_text:CSS_SELECTOR|TEXT_SELECTOR]
Testing and QA
1. Temporarily enable debug mode in:
Settings > Usheru Tracking
Then open the page in the browser and inspect the console.
You should see logs like:
[Usheru Tracking] Pushed
Check the dataLayer manually
Open the browser console and run:
window.dataLayer
Look for objects like:
{
event: 'usheru',
tracking_event: 'cta_click',
tracking_source: 'premium_home',
tracking_engagement: 'Interest',
content_type: 'Premium Hospitality',
content_name: 'premium_requestinfo_button'
}
Best practices
Naming convention
Use lowercase and underscores.
Recommended:
cta_click
form_view
form_start
form_submit
premium_home
Recommended engagement values
Use a small controlled list:
Interest
Intent
Action
Conversion
Example usage:
CTA click: Interest
Form start: Intent
Form submit: Action
Purchase or lead confirmation: Conversion
Keep content_name specific
Good:
premium_requestinfo_button
premium_joinwaitlist_button
premium_requestaccess_button
Too vague:
button
cta
click_here
