Plugin not working for me

Hi ribolex,

In August, you’ve changed your analytics code from analytics.js to the new gtag.js. The plugin isn’t working yet with this Analytics script version but I am working on it. Haven’t found a way yet.

Hi Okoth,

Thanks a lot for your reply.

I remember that I updated my theme and then needed to install analytics again in my wordpress code.

Is it possible to change it back to the old analytics.js code so that it works again?

Yes that’s very easy. Just replace this

	<!-- Global site tag (gtag.js) - Google Analytics -->
<script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=UA-XXXXX-Y"></script>
<script>
  window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
  function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}
  gtag('js', new Date());

  gtag('config', 'UA-XXXXX-Y');
</script>

with this

<!-- Google Analytics -->
<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','https://www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');

ga('create', 'UA-XXXXX-Y', 'auto');
ga('send', 'pageview');
</script>
<!-- End Google Analytics -->

and it will work again. Don’t forget to change UA-XXXXX-Y with your account number.

Thanks a lot for your help! I did this, but now the whole code is showing in my header on my website itself and analytics is down.

Can you please check what is missing in my code?

Oops.. i copied your code directly from the email, which looks different..

I guess the bouncerate will be reduced in like an hour or so?

Bedankt!

Yep, new bounce rates from now on.

Good luck!

I’m very happy that I checked this forum. I had the same issue. And now it’s resolved.
Thanks a million @okoth1
