Installed Plugin not reducing

Hi Scott,

I think you’ve missed the Options page. I see that you still use the old Analytics code (ga.js), but on the Options page under Tracking Code you choose analytics.js.

Just read under Tracking Code on the settings page and you’ll be fine.

You might want to consider using the new Analytics tracking code

Cheers!

Hi mate,

thanks I had no idea,

I changed it so we’ll see if that has an impact and helps it adjust,

I’ll let you know,

Scott

Hi Scott,

If you have enough visitors to your website you should be able to see the plugin working in Analytics under Real Time -> Events. At least the Event Category “Time” should be there.

Hi,

So it still doesn’t seem to be having any impact on the bounce rate, how long should it take before I start seeing results?

Kindest regards,

Scott

Should be immediately. Try to put the Analytics code after the plugin’s code. The Analytics code should be the last code before the </head> element.

Nope I’m not having any luck with this plugin, it’s pretty complicated, I was really hoping it was just a case of downloading it and activating it,

not to worry, thanks for trying to help anyway.

It should work. Have you already tried to put the Analytics code after the plugin’s code? The Analytics code should be the last code before the </head> element. On your website the plugin’s code comes still after the Analytics code.

Btw plug-and-play is a bit hard, because there are different types of Analytics codes.

I’m not a programmer, what does the plugin code look like?

This is the Analytics code you’re using.

<script type="text/javascript">

  var _gaq = _gaq || [];
  _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-xxxxxxxx-1']);
  _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);

  (function() {
    var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true;
    ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'https://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js';
    var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);
  })();

</script>

How do you add it to your website now?

I put it in the header

It is the last thing before the head element

Can you put it just before the </head>?

Ok I did that, now what?

Does it come after <?php wp_head(); ?>

Yes, done and saved
