Major Conflict With WPSEO 3.6 – Wipes Out Google Analyticator Options Page

tnx
I have the same bugs. With version Yoast SEO v3.5 no problems

@rossagrant

Yes confirming the major bug / conflict

We have Yoast SEO and Google Analyticator installed on 60+ clients sites and see the conflict on all of them across 3 Linux servers

The conflict renders the widget menu inoperable – widget sections are blank. We are also seeing the issue on some plugin menus

Here is the error

[28-Sep-2016 02:19:51 UTC] PHP Notice: Undefined variable: apiConfig in /var/www/html/wp-content/plugins/google-analyticator/google-api-php-client/src/Google_Client.php on line 38

– Deactivating Google Analyticator immediately resolves the issue. This is a major conflict – We have started removing the Google Analyticator plugin – as the bug / conflict is causing our clients grief. Don’t really need this extra workload but if the issue is not fixed and a patch released soon we will have to do it.

I am not being critical – It was the Yoast 3.6.0 that has caused the issue – so hoping they will release a patch for the issue.

I have the same bug

Hi, thanks for the report. I will take a look at this asap.

I think this is a 2 year old bug that was never fixed. The solution offered in this support thread worked for me and restored the Analyticator options page as well as the dashboard widget provided by this plugin, which was also broken.

Summary:

1. Edit google-analyticator/google-api-php-client/src/Google_Client.php
2. Change line 35 from: require_once "config.php"; to require_once (dirname(__FILE__) . "/config.php");

Hi Everyone,

This issue should now be fixed with 6.5.0.

@dancriel, yes that was the issue. Thank you,

-Garrett

@grimmdude – AMAZING! Thank you! ??

I’m running 6.5.0 and the problem still exists… no widgets on the widgets page.

I have version 6.5.0 of Analyticator and version 3.6.1 of Yoast, and no widgets on the widgets page. Yoast updated to 3.6.1 yesterday. I only noticed this issue today, so I do not know if the combination of Analyticator 6.5.0 and Yoast 3.6.0 worked or not, only know this combo doesn’t.

I can confirm that running ONLY Analyticator plugin with ALL other plugins deactivated, I’m unable to edit Widgets. On both 4.6.1 and 4.4.5

@thompsonpaul and @the_webscaper : I had the same issue too, but I also noticed that I was unable to see my Analytics panel and my error log was talking about an authentication problem.

So I decided to reset analyticator (you can do this from the plugin list) and reconfigure it (it took about 30 seconds to do so) and after that, everything was back and running fine !

I think it’s worth a try. All I recommend is – obviously – to backup your DB before, and to take a look at the google analytics realtime view just after (so you can check that your visits are still tracked).

Let us know if it solved the issue for you.

Fred
