About the new redesign…

    It is much better and seems faster than the old one, however, I noticed that this particular plugin does not work properly when I have Adblock Plus plugin activated in my browser, the admin pages turn into a mess and the page assets won’t load. This only happens in this plugin’s pages, so I think there might be a way to fix this. Of course, if I disable Adblock or whitelist the site it works fine, but sometimes I can’t do that.

    Another thing is the new top-level menu of this plugin. I am not particularly fond with this plugin now having its own entry in my WordPress main menu. We don’t use the settings page that much, more like a set-it-and-forget-it thing, so I don’t believe it deserves that much of a visibility, the main menu already has its enough share of clutter. Taking it back to a sub-entry under the Settings menu would be better. You can still divide the page with tabs for example to group the different settings together (i.e. Backend, Frontend, etc.).

    Thank you for the hard work!

    …another thing. The new dropdown menus at the top of the chart which display the “Last 30 days” and “Page Views” for example among other options, when I change or select something else from one of these menus, how is the change supposed to reflect on the graph? Because nothing happens and there is no “submit” button anywhere to apply the changes.

    1. I will test that

    2. a dashboard (new page) with more details like campaigns, goals, events will be available under that menu, that’s why I’ve decided to make it a top-level menu. I want to give users a whole overview over their GA account, and I can’t do that on Admin’s Dashboard because will slow down a lot the first login and will increase the number of queries.

    There is an onchange event triggered for those selections (page is reloaded on change), it works fine for me, what browser are you using?

    Tested the Adblock Plus and works fine on chrome, maybe there is a custom filter/rule you’ve defined, that affects the settings page.

    Alin, thanks for your reply.

    Yep, there is indeed an onChange event on the dropdown, for some reason though, it wasn’t working when I first tested it. Probably due to the page not been loaded in full. All good now, sorry for my impatience.

    As for the top-level menu, I see your point now and it makes sense. Maybe you might as well use a dashicons icon for the menu instead of the current image so that it matches the WordPress design ??

    For Adblock, I re-checked my filter lists (using Firefox) and there appeared to be a list called EasyPrivacy that was blocking all things Google Analytics. I just disabled that specific list, and that seems like a better solution than disabling Adblock altogether.

    Again, thank you for your time!

    dashicons-chart-area looks nice, what do you think?
