Classic or universal issue

I’m having a bit of a problem caused by initially selecting ‘universal’ when I setup GA. I discovered (after a bit of frustration), that I needed ‘classic’ tracking to get it working with GA for WP plugin. (It might be a good idea to add this to the install notes or FAQ!)

So, I added another profile setup as classic, and started the tracking. So far, so good… the ‘universal’ profile dropped to zero, and the ‘classic’ started showing results (after about a day). I figured I’d fixed things.

However, after about a week, traffic started showing up under the ‘universal’ profile as well. I now have traffic in both profiles for some reason. GA for WP is only set to one of the profiles. I looked for a way to delete the ‘universal’ profile, but can’t find a way.

I guess this is more a GA issue, than a GA for WordPress one… but any hints on how to proceed? Is my traffic really being split between the two somehow?

One thing to note, is that I did move my site to a new host when I setup GA and GA for WordPress, so the plugin is installed at the ‘old’ site and the current one. But, I don’t see why any traffic would suddenly find a way to get to the old one after a week. My domain name is pointed at the new. I guess I can pull the old one down and see what effect that has. Either way, I’d kind of like to get rid of the ‘universal’ profile if anyone knows how.
