Vital UTM Catcher

A simple UTM parameter processor plugin for WordPress. "Catches" a specific set of URL parameters on an entry page and makes them accessible throughout the website for the entire user session.

By default the plugin will already handle the following URL parameters: 'utm_source', 'utm_medium', 'utm_term', 'utm_content', 'utm_campaign'.

Default cookie expiration time is 24 hours.

Add ?utm_catcher_params to any link href URL and the plugin will replace it with any caught UTM parameters.

2. Install plugin in WordPress using the downloaded ZIP file
