Google Analytics Tracking on Contact Form 7

    Hi,

    I am struggling to make goal tracking working. I try to adapt the following article’s instructions on my website but still no success.
    https://contactform7.com/tracking-form-submissions-with-google-analytics/

    I need to use this way of tracking, because Contact Form 7’s redirecting to a ‘Thank You’ page after form submission become unreliable recently, and I could not solve that problem either. I use Bridge Theme.

    What I try to do just now:

    1. Hardcoded tracking code on site as per below just before </head>

    <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-XXXXXXXX-X', 'auto');
  ga('send', 'pageview');
</script>

    2. On my contact form, at the additional settings area I use the following:
    on_sent_ok: "ga('send', 'event', 'Contact Page Form', 'submit');"
    where ‘Contact Page Form’ is the name of the form

    3. I set a new goal on Google Analytics, as per below:
    Goal description – type: event
    Goal details – action equal to submit

    The other issue, I experience is, that the green success message stopped showing after form completion.

    Any help is much appreciated. Thank you.

    Try switching to the default theme and deactivating all other plugins.

    And if you are using a plugin for Analytics so that you cant hard code anything?

    Thanks for all the answers.

    I am testing the site, as Takayuki suggested, but it takes time, as I have to wait for Google Analytics a day or two to show reliable results.

    Igears, I used to have a plugin for Analytics but removed it, so now the code is hard-coded. Just to make sure, it is the right format for the matching piece of code (on_sent_ok).

    I will get back to you later, after all the testing. Thank you.

    Hi, I have done some tests, switched off Bridge theme and all plugins but Contact Form 7 and Really Simple CAPTCHA. I get both emails fine (the original one and the confirmation email) but the green success message never shows and no conversions tracked on Google Analytics. I have done these tests on and identical copy of my website.
    Do you have any ideas, what else can I try except use an other Contact Form plugin? I have been using Contact Form 7 on many projects for years and never had any problem before, it is a great plugin otherwise.
    Thank you.

    It won’t work because you don’t have GA’s tracking code in the page.

    You were right, Takayuki, I forgot to add the tracking code while activating the default theme. Conversion tracking started to work, so you were right and there is conflict between one of the plugins and this. Thanks for the advice, now I try to find out which one could cause the problem.

    However, the green success message (which used to appear after form completion) still does not appear after hitting ‘Submit’ button even with default theme on and other plugins switched off. Any thought on this, please?

    We already getting multiple emails as people think their messages were not sent. Thank you.
