Hi Everyone,

We’re currently experiencing an issue with the Piwik pro connectors in Looker Studio. None of the charts are showing any data anymore for many of my customers.  
The issue is only existing for our Lookers based on piwik connectors.

Everything was working fine before, and no changes were made on our side concerning the looker.

Is anyone else facing the same issue ?  
Any help or insight would be appreciated.

Regards,  
Arthur

Hi,

Same here, we’re experiencing a lot of errors (not on all components/dimensions/metrics) not recognising some basic dimensions such as Page URL, Source/Medium, Custom event, etc.

Ex:  
Community Connector Error  
There was an error caused by the community connector. Please report the issue to the provider of this community connector if this issue persists.  
Connector details  
Invalid field name: “event\_url” is not a valid choice.  
Error ID: 25f11c27

Any help or insight would be appreciated.  
Best regards,  
Lisa

Hello @PixalioneData and welcome to the community

Do you remember when connector was established? Few weeks ago we updated our plugin and unfortunately it required migration to new version.

Same issue here. All 30+ dashboards are broken. Happened yesterday PM.  
Didn’t do anything, the dashboards just suddenly looked like this with same error message but different dimension name:

problem exist for our looker dashboards with old 1.3.2 and new 1.4.2 connectors, since 2025-05-26.  
only if there is an active filter, we get error messages like:

Hi,

We also experience the same errors. All our reports that uses Piwik shows data, but as soon as we add a filter or want to see data of a specific page we’re getting errors.

Ex: Community Connector Error  
There was an error caused by the community connector. Please report the issue to the provider of this community connector if this issue persists.  
Connector details  
Invalid field name: “event\_title” is not a valid choice.

Hello @jfidala  
Everytime I want to update the new piwik connector version V1.4.2, this error appears :

 ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/piwikpro/original/2X/e/e045276b7a8b267da0a5dce225a6f94f62a1963e.png)

Do you know what to do in this case ?  
Thank you again for your support,

Same here. Problem exists for multiple clients, several panels in the dashboards show “See details” errors, and when you click on the error, it gives you a misleading error message, as the custom dimensions that supposedly cause the problem are not even used in the widget nor anywhere else on the dashboard.

I have the same problem with the dataset in Looker Studio. When I apply a filter, I get the following error message:  
Error in community plugin

An error has occurred that was caused by the community plugin. Report the issue to the community plugin provider if it persists.

Hi Everyone,

First of all, I would like to wholeheartedly apologise for the inconvenience caused. We tried to pinpoint the issue today, but it turned out to be quite time-consuming.

What’s more, Google Apps Script — the platform used to run the connector — introduced restrictions to version management, meaning that only one of our developers could introduce fixes. Unfortunately, I could not find any details about this change in the official changelog.

What was the core issue? **The most probable scenario is that, when we decided to deploy a new version of our Looker Studio connector, a platform update was running in the background. By “platform”, I mean Looker Studio. The connector update went through without any errors being thrown. However, we have since discovered that while some of the connector files were updated, others remained on the same version.**

We’ll definitely look into additional methods of identifying such cases, but this is the first time this has happened to us and it wasn’t picked up by either Looker Studio or our connector. We have also looked through the Looker Studio community forum while debugging the issue. It looks like something was indeed happening to the platform, as different related issues popped up ([example 1](https://www.googlecloudcommunity.com/gc/Looker-Studio/May-20th-Outage/m-p/908645#M9784), [example 2](https://www.googlecloudcommunity.com/gc/Looker-Studio/Looker-Studio-Community-Partner-connectors-down/m-p/909274)).

@PixalioneData - that previous issue was solved, are you still experiencing problems with connector?

@PixalioneData can you please try to remove instance from connector and add it again? It seems like credentials error.

Make sure you are adding just name of instance, if you have `your-instance-name.piwik.pro` use just `your-instance-name`. For `user / password` fields use `client id / client secret` created in administration tab.

Let me know if that works, if not you can send me those details in private message and I can test it.
