Doesn't Track Events

    Events are rarely being tracked. 1/10 events track when I test the link.

    I am trying to track clicks and when I click my links they never track. Of all my tests, I’ve had 3 out of 30-40 of my links actually track, all individual settings. I use this code:
    Google

    Obviously my href, id, data-event-cat, data-event action, and data-event-label are all the same as what I input in the GA Events Click Tracking Plugin.

    I use id because I have a class button that I use – one of my 3 tests worked with the button so I know it works… but even without the button it doesn’t work.

    I’ve manually added the google code to my heading.php and it didn’t change anything. The one link that does work, works with and without the Google Code I manually added.

    Here is a link to the part of my site that has the working click tracker:
    https://sponsorhunter.com/gaming-controllers/controller-chaos/

    The ‘Sponsorship’ button works and the ‘Gaming Sponsorship’ does not work.

    Here are the settings for each:
    Element Name: ControllerChaosML Type: id Event Category: Controller Chaos Link Event Action: Main Sponsorships Event Label: Main Sponsorships

    Element Name: ControllerChaosGL Type: id Event Category: Controller Chaos Gaming Link Event Action: Gaming Sponsorship Event Label: Gaming Sponsorship

    Please help… this is pretty annoying and I have no idea why the one works and the other does not. Even on different pages the other ones do not work…. it seems to only work when it wants to work.

    Also, is there a way to track right clicks as well?

    Hi Will,

    It looks like there is an issue that we are now investigating.
    On a side note, you don’t have to add the data-event- tags to the elements. The tags are a pro feature that helps you configure events in the html itself instead of in the admin panel.

    I will update you on our findings asap.

    Thanks for the heads up

    Works perfectly. Thanks! Also the little info on not needing the data-event tags is a time saver!

    I will work on the docs to make things clearer.
