Several Google Analytics profiles displayed, but none work.

    Since one of the last update of the plugin, the widget displays prompted systematically two profiles in the drop-down list with the same name. And yet I have only one existing profile, declared on Google Analytics.
    Until then not much problem, it worked anyway.
    Except that I wanted to see what will be displayed by selecting the second profile. And since nothing works with the widget. Systemically, it is asked to do the authorization of the plugin. What I did. But every time I come back on the widget, it is still the second profile is selected, and no information is visible in the widget, except errors.

  • First thing first, if you have multiple Views per that Profile, I would recommend you to rename them to something more suggestive.

    Now, back to your problem. Go to Google Analytics -> General Settings and select the right Profile/View from the drop-down list. Afterwards, go to Google Analytics -> Backend Settings and switch off the enable Switch Profile/View functionality option. Press the Save Changes button; all these should put you back on track.

    Thank you very much for your help. This normally works now. But I think there has to be a small problem.

    For in my Google Analytics console, I have only one view / profile. But Google shows that in fact there are two views / profiles (User ID and one created). The Widget plugin, so shows two profiles with the same name (domain name but with different tooltip depending on the view / profile).

    But when we select the second view / profile, it is not possible to re-select the first, and each time it is requested authorization from the plugin. But it is useless, since each time only the second view is selected and that the authorization does not.

    This done, your approach to disable switching Profile, puts things in order.

    That’s a special View, used only for User tracking. I also want to implement User tracking capabilities in the near future, so I will have to fix that ASAP (never thought that this type of view could generate these issues).

    Thank for your awesome feedback!

    It’s really out of curiosity and by chance, that I arrived to this little problem.
    But better if it allows to advance and improve your plugin.

    Best regards
