Google Analytics stopped working

    Hello,

    This is a very useful plugin. However, I have some problems… I have installed it and then added all of the un-register actions for tracking-cookies. After that, I noticed that no matter what the users’ choice was when the alert appeared, but they were not tracked anymore. Since then, my Analytics reports show 0 visitors. I have tried myself visiting the website and allowing all cookies, but no changes.

    I have also tried deactivating and deleting the plugin, and then re-installing it again but still nothing…
    I have also deactivated and deleted the plugin that I used for Analytics but that did not work neither.
    Finally, I manually added the code to the header.php but the result was the same.

    So, has this issue something to do with the un-register actions mentioned above? I can’t find out if any code has been added to other files outside of the plugin’s folder. If this is the case, where and how can I fix it?

    Please help! I don’t know what else to do. I do really want to use this plugin and get it to work properly with Analytics.

    Thank you ??

  • There are two possibilities;

    1. The cookie plugin fails,
    2. Your implementation is wrong,

    please try to deactivate (or even delete) the cookie plugin and check you analytics. To be sure; wait 2 days and check google, but the “real-time” option of GA should suffice.

    if you still do not get any hits (and you’re sure that’s not because of filters, or a misconfiguration of the GA plugin, then it’s probably the way you use the Cookie plugin.

    It’s vague, I know, but without any code or even a web address, there is no way for me to determine what the problem is.

    When all is installed and it “should work”, open your site, be not logged in, accept cookies, refresh the page, check the source. If you see the GA javascript code, then the problem is most likely not in this plugin.

    Again, without more information, I cannot be sure.

    “I can’t find out if any code has been added to other files outside of the plugin’s folder”
    Sorry, what?? There is only one way code can be added to other files, especially outside the plugins folder, and that is when you did it yourself. Since you ask, there’s probably not. This plugin does not change any files on it’s own.

    Thank you for your answer. Sorry if the question you quoted was kind of “offensive”, I did not mean to say that your plugin is doing that. I’m kind of a “newbie”, especially on what concerns to coding.

    I have followed your advice and it works like a charm now. It does what it promises, in fact if the user doesn’t accept tracking cookies (the only kind of cookies which I have tried this plugin with), the GA cookie won’t be installed.

    Again, thanks for the plugin and your support!

    Hi Artystyc, please don’t get me wrong; no offence was taken, don’t worry ??

    I am – however – very interested on what the problem was. But reading “it works” is good enough for me ??
