    Hello,

    Once I have installed your plugin, I clicked on the red link to get the access code. I had a 400 error when the window opened, there was a missing parameter (client ID I think, I don’t remember very well).

    I closed the window and tried to do it again but when I click the checkbox, I don’t have the red link anymore. Instead, it asks me for an API key, a client ID and a secret key (but I don’t have all of that, I don’t know how to create a Google Analytics API…).

    I tried to uninstall your plugin and restart but I still have the same problem. The red link step don’t appear anymore. Could you help me please ?

    Your plugin seems wonderful and I really would like to use it.

    PS : I already have a Google Analytics account with UA code, it works well with Yoast SEO.

  • Hi,

    Follow the video instructions, you don’t need to use an API Project, so leave that unchecked.

    lol, If I don’t authorize the plugin, nothing works…

    This step doesn’t work for me :

    To authorize the plugin go to Google Analytics -> General Settings and press the button called Authorize Plugin.

    You will have to generate and save an access code. To generate the access code, press the link called Get Access Code, a new window will pop-up asking you to allow specific data from your Google Analytics account to be used by Google Analytics Dashboard for WP. After agreement, an access code will be provided by Google API.

    Copy the code, paste it in the field called Access Code and save it by pressing the Save Access Code button.

    So, what should I do ?

    Please read carefully what I’ve said, I wasn’t saying that you don’t need to authorize.

    Make sure “use your own API project credentials” is unchecked and proceed to authorization (as shown in the video).

    Doesn’t work is not enough, describe the problem in detail. If there are errors by specifying the exact error or describing what goes wrong.

    Ok I have just understood my error.

    I hadn’t understood that we could click the button “Authorize plugin” without clicking on the checkbox “API project credentials” before. I did exactly the same than in the video, I thought that the checkbox was required to proceed the authorization.

    Sorry.

    You should add “(optional)” next to this checkbox.

    Now, it works well. Thank you.
