Adsense not tracking any more after last update

I’ve also noticed events are not tracked since the last update. Is it the same issue?

In for answer.

Same here. In my case, I just installed the plugin a few days ago on a site that already had analytics running (with Adsense reporting working). Once I installed the plugin, I stopped getting Adsense reporting. I still get my other data, but not my Adsense.

It’s a secondary Analytics property and I thought maybe that was the reason, since my primary is working fine on another site (that’s not using Yoast Analytics). But now that I see this thread and others have the problem, I’m going to have to just wait for Yoast to fix it.

Yoast does track the message here, right? Is this the official support page?

Note: I’m still on the latest 3.9 whatever SP, not 4.0.

I emailed the problem to Yoast’s site but they don’t help non-paying users. They told me I could post on the Github page. So I submitted the bug at Yoast’s Github page for the plugin. I’ve never used github prior to this so I don’t know how well that works.

I’ve also emailed them and got the same answer – no support for free plugin. I see in some older post here that they actually pay attention to this forum, so I hope they will answer soon to our request. Meanwhile, I’ve manually inserted the GA snippet and started getting results, but I would be nice to have this back on their plugin.

Ivok, do you mean you deactivated the plugin and went back to manual, or that you left it activated and just added a snippet somewhere? If the latter, which snippet and header or footer?

I left it running, but my theme allows me to add the snippet in the footer , so that’s where I place only the Adsense tracking snippet code. (even though it says it must be on top of pages).

So now Yoast is tracking all the regular info and the snippet in the footer is for Adsense only.

And here’s the answer that Yoast posted on Github:

“We removed the adsense tracking feature in 5.0. The upcoming premium version will have it.”

Well, I guess they want to cripple the free version so you buy the new version. And it sounds like the premium version doesn’t even have it yet.

I think I’ll go back to putting the code in manually, it’s not difficult. Or see if there is another plugin that does this — I don’t need any fancy features to it. I didn’t think reporting Adsense was a fancy feature.

“We removed the adsense tracking feature in 5.0. The upcoming premium version will have it.”

That is really really bad.

Hi All,

Should try this Google Tag Manager

Zut.

The difference in attitude towards the GPL (and software freedom) between WordPress and Drupal developers is extreme.

All these extensions are still covered by the GPL so it’s tempting to start something like liberatedWPplugins.org. Only one person needs to get a “license” to has the right to the source code and to spread it.
