Research direction
The issue is that newly created sites show tracking code referencing piwik.js and piwik.php instead of matomo.js and matomo.php. To fix, locate the template or function that generates the tracking code for new sites in Matomo's codebase. Likely in the SitesManager plugin. Look for strings 'piwik.js' or 'piwik.php' and replace with 'matomo.js' and 'matomo.php' accordingly. Verify by creating a new site and checking the dashboard tracking code snippet.
