Does this work with Yoast's GA plugin?

Adam,

Thanks for getting in touch.

I haven’t tried this with Yoast’s GA – as you say, it doesn’t support Universal Analytics, which is exactly what I was trying to work with!

(Yoast has a premium EDD/GA ecommerce tracking plugin, but it requires their non-Universal GA plugin, and they haven’t been forthcoming about upgrading it to Universal.)

Really, adding the ‘ga’ object doesn’t need a plugin at all of course – you could just add the tracking code to your HTML header in your WordPress template, as long as the Javascript object is called ga (which I think it is if you take Google’s default code).

Let me know how you get on!

Thanks,

Dan

It seems that Yoast now supports Universal Analytics.

However the premium EDD/GA ecommerce tracking plugin is currently not working… might be time to give this one a try.

Hi guys,
Does it work now with Yoast’s GA plugin?

I’m using last version of both but can’t see the ecommerce data.

Thanks

I have only tried this plugin (EDD Google Analytics Universal Ecommerce) with NK Google Analytics, in universal mode.

As long as Yoast’s GA plugin, in universal mode, creates a Javascript object called ‘ga’ then there is no reason that shouldn’t work just as well. It just needs someone to try it!

Do you see results if you try NK Google Analytics?

Have you enabled both ecommerce tracking and universal analytics mode in Google Analytics?

I use yoast with Universal analytics activated, I also got activated ecommerce tracking in my analytics but it’s empty.

Looking at the code on your site, it seems Yoast’s GA plugin creates an object called __gaTracker instead of ga as per NK Analytics plugin, so the plugin doesn’t pick it up.

So, out of the box, it doesn’t look like Yoast’s plugin will work with this.

Dan you have a github for this plugin? I just checked the source and it’s pretty simple to make it compatible with other plugins.
