Meta Removed the 8-Event Cap in June 2025

April 20, 2026 by

Meta silently removed the 8-event AEM cap in June 2025 and retired the manual prioritization tab — but most WooCommerce tutorials still describe the old system. AEM is now fully automatic across all eligible events. The real lever is event schema consistency: identical event_id (the WooCommerce order ID works), matching value and currency across Pixel and CAPI, stable event_name casing, proper deduplication. Pixel-only tracking misses 20-30% of conversions; server-side captures 90-95%. A smaller set of well-matched, deduplicated events reliably outperforms a larger set of noisy ones.

Facebook Requires content_ids But Google Wants item_id

February 25, 2026 by

WooCommerce tracking pixels often fire successfully but send incorrect event parameters to each ad platform, silently breaking conversion optimization and retargeting. Facebook requires content_ids with content_type, Google expects items[] arrays with item_id, and TikTok needs contents[] with content_id—yet each WordPress plugin maps these differently. With 70% of ecommerce stores running broken tracking (Conversios, 2025), the problem isn’t whether your pixels fire—it’s whether the data they send matches what each platform actually needs to optimize campaigns and build audiences.
