[Plugin: Google Analyticator] End of wordpress plugin Google Analyticator

Hi John – We’ll have a fix out for this shortly! thanks, Ben

Awesome – and thank you so much for picking this up – it’s on dozens of sites that I run! ??

-John.

Fantastic – I have my analytics back in my dashboard! ??

Thanks again for doing this!

-John.

Great.

I am marking this as resolved, as I hope you all agree it is not the end of the Google Analyticator.

Google Analyticator has found a new, good, house ??

The good news is that Analyticator 6.3.2 works fine under WordPress 2.9.2. (And yes, I’ll update someday, but that’s a big project.)

The bad news is that it is now difficult to install.

I have two sites on the same domain, www and techblog.

Yesterday I upgraded techblog to 6.3.1, which only required WP 2.7.

Today I could not automatically update techblog to 6.3.2, which requires WP 3.2. However after a local decompress and manual FTP upload, Analyticator 6.3.2 works fine: I had a field for pasting the tracking token, I see the dashboard, and the tracking code is inserted in my pages.

However on the www site, whether I uninstall and upload, or FTP upload, the Settings link keeps dropping the “www” from the path, so it cannot load the Settings page. If I manually re-add the “www”, I can get to one page, but then the next redirect fails. I downgraded this site to 6.2 and the Settings work again.

My other feedback is that the plugin should not rely on authentication. IMHO the main purpose and benefit of Analyticator is inserting the tracking tags, including for file downloads. The dashboard widget is a “nice-to-have” that I never use. After upgrading, it was rather disconcerting to lose access to all the insertion options just because the widget can’t authenticate–I wondered if my site was still being tracked. I would suggest making authentication optional again as it was up to 6.2.

Thanks,

Mark

mcbsys – if you just want the tracking tags ALl in One SEO now has a line for that and there are other ways you can add the JS ID ( tracking tags) to your theme.

The main benefit of this plugin ( when it is back working again) is the dashboard widget showing the 30 days rolling GA. Most users like that and most of them won’t login directly to GA as that is too complex for them.

Jason – I don’t see GA in All in One SEO. Probably that’s in a version released for WP 3.0+. Analyticator 6.2 gives me what I need.

Hi mcbsys

Unfortunately we don’t have the resources to test the plugin all the way back to 2.9.x especially as we didn’t build the base – we can’t support it. This is why we moved the “Supports” tag up to 3.x

As for the core functionality, we did discuss this – as as Jason mentioned, there are a number of great plugins that already help you to add the tracking code to the footer of your website.

This is why we put more of a focus on the activation side of things.

Thanks,

Ben
