• I don’t get this. My website is https://www.infrasupport.com. I installed Google Analytics by Yoast and it reported results for a couple days. But now when I look at Google Analytics, Google tells me:

    Status: Tracking Not Installed
    Last checked: Jan 3, 2015 11:33:04 PM PST
    The Google Analytics tracking code has not been detected on your website’s home page. For Analytics to function, you or your web administrator must add the code to each page of your website.

    Google then shows a little box with the code it says I need on each page. Here is the code Google says I need, followed by the code actually inserted by the Yoast plugin. They’re similar but not identical.

    <script>
      (function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){
      (i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),
      m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)
      })(window,document,'script','//www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');
    
      ga('create', 'UA-39807603-1', 'auto');
      ga('send', 'pageview');
    
    </script>

    And here is the code actually inserted when I activate the plugin and go though the authentication in my website WP dashboard. Note it’s slightly different than the code Google suggests should be inserted.

    <!-- This site uses the Yoast Google Analytics plugin v5.2.7 - Universal enabled - https://yoast.com/wordpress/plugins/google-analytics/ -->
    <script type="text/javascript">
    	(function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){
    		(i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),
    		m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)
    	})(window,document,'script','//www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','__gaTracker');
    
    	__gaTracker('create', 'UA-39807603-1', 'auto');
    	__gaTracker('set', 'forceSSL', true);
    	__gaTracker('require', 'displayfeatures');
    	__gaTracker('send','pageview');
    
    </script>

    I’ve tried in the plugin both manually putting in the UA code and the copy and past method. Neither makes a difference. What is going on?

    Is this relevant? I had a disaster here on Dec. 20 and had to rebuild the website by hand. So the website today is all new content, mostly copied and pasted from archives. Would Google somehow reject my UA code even though this is the code Google tells me to use?

    thanks

  • Was on 5.3.2 updated to latest, but without joy.
    Re-authenticated and will see how it lives in the morning.
    Will then go back through all plugins.
    Sigh
