Plugin Settings

Posted

ByEmily Gomez
The Bluvia A/B Testing plugin settings control default tracking behavior, reporting requirements, diagnostics, and notifications for experiments on your WordPress website.
To access these options, go to Bluvia A/B Testing → Settings in your WordPress dashboard.
After making changes, select Save Changes.

Tracking Settings

Tracking Settings control several defaults used when collecting and evaluating experiment results.

Confidence

Set the confidence level Bluvia A/B Testing uses when determining whether an experiment has enough statistical confidence to declare a winner.
The default confidence level is 95%.
You can adjust this level based on the requirements of your experimentation program.
Increasing the confidence level requires stronger evidence before a result reaches the selected threshold. Lowering it requires less evidence but increases the possibility that an observed difference is caused by normal variation.
For more information, see Statistical Confidence.

GDPR Cookie

Use GDPR Cookie to provide the cookie name used by your website’s consent system.
This setting can help coordinate experiment tracking with your site’s cookie consent implementation.
Enter the appropriate cookie name for your website’s consent setup.

Excluded IPs

Use Excluded IPs to prevent traffic from specified IP addresses from being included in experiment tracking.
Enter one IP address per line.
This can be useful for excluding traffic that you don’t want included in experiment results, such as internal or development traffic.

Plugin Behavior

Logging

Enable Logging when you need additional diagnostic information to help troubleshoot the plugin.
When enabled, critical errors may also be automatically reported to Bluvia A/B Testing so they can be investigated.
Error reports include technical information needed to diagnose the problem, including:
  • Site domain
  • Active theme name
  • Plugin version
  • PHP version
  • WordPress version
  • Error description
  • Code stack trace
Personal data, page content, and visitor information are not included in these reports.
You generally don’t need to enable logging unless you’re troubleshooting an issue or Bluvia A/B Testing Support asks you to enable it.

User Interface

Required Sample Size

Set the minimum number of page views an experiment must receive before Bluvia A/B Testing computes statistical significance.
The default is 100 page views.
Increasing the required sample size means the experiment must collect more traffic before statistical significance is calculated.
Remember that reaching the required sample size doesn’t automatically mean an experiment is ready to end or statistical significance has been reached. Consider sample size alongside conversions, confidence, test duration, and the consistency of the results.
For more information, see Understanding Sample Size.

Plugin Tutorials

Enable plugin tutorials to automatically display introductions to Bluvia A/B Testing features for new users.
You can disable this option if you no longer want these tutorials to appear.

Notifications

Bluvia A/B Testing can send email notifications for important experiment events.

Email Address

Enter the email address where you want experiment notifications delivered.

Test Notifications

You can choose to receive an email when:
  • A test starts
  • A weekly test report
  • A test stops
Enable the notifications you want to receive and select Save Changes.

Email Notifications

Bluvia A/B Testing can send email notifications when an experiment starts or stops, helping you stay informed about testing activity without having to check your WordPress dashboard.

Configuring Email Notifications

To configure notifications:
  1. Open your WordPress dashboard.
  2. Navigate to Bluvia A/B Testing → Settings.
  3. Locate the Notifications section.
  4. Enter the email address or addresses where you want to receive notifications.
  5. Enable one or both of the following options:
    • Send email notification when a test starts
    • Send email notification when a test stops
  6. Select Save Changes.
Once enabled, Bluvia A/B Testing will send notifications to your configured email addresses when the selected events occur.

Email Notifications Going to Spam

If your experiment notifications are being delivered to your spam or junk folder, the issue may be related to how your WordPress website sends email.
Bluvia A/B Testing sends notifications through your WordPress website’s email system. Email delivery therefore depends on your website’s hosting environment and email configuration.
Some email providers may flag messages as spam if your website’s outgoing emails are not properly authenticated.
To improve email delivery:
  1. Check your spam or junk folder. If you find a notification, mark it as Not Spam.
  2. Verify the recipient address. Confirm that the email address entered in Bluvia A/B Testing settings is correct.
  3. Configure SMTP email delivery. Consider using a WordPress SMTP plugin, such as WP Mail SMTP or Post SMTP, to send WordPress emails through a trusted email provider.
  4. Authenticate your sending domain. Configure SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records as recommended by your email provider.
  5. Test WordPress email delivery. Use your SMTP plugin’s email testing feature to confirm that messages are being sent successfully.
SMTP plugins can integrate with providers such as Gmail and other supported email services, which may improve the reliability of WordPress email delivery.
Note: Bluvia A/B Testing does not control how receiving email providers classify messages. If notifications continue going to spam, review your WordPress email configuration or contact your hosting or email provider for assistance.

Not Receiving Notifications?

If notifications are not arriving at all:
  1. Confirm that the appropriate start or stop notification option is enabled.
  2. Verify that the recipient email address is correct.
  3. Check your spam or junk folder.
  4. Test whether your WordPress website can send other emails.
  5. Review your SMTP or hosting email configuration.
If WordPress emails are working correctly but Bluvia A/B Testing notifications are still not being sent, contact Support for assistance.

Saving Your Settings

After making changes to any of these options, select Save Changes at the bottom of the Settings page.
The updated configuration will then be used by Bluvia A/B Testing.

Managing Stored Experiment Data

Experiment storage isn’t managed from the Settings page.
Go to Bluvia A/B Testing → Management to review stored experiment data and storage usage.
The Management area provides access to experiment data as well as stored resources such as heatmaps, screen recordings, and archived Variations.
See Data Management for instructions on reviewing and removing stored data.
