Straight line on frontend even in most viewed posts

  • Hello!
    I’m puzzle with a frontend graph showing a straight line with 0 visits for last 30 days in every post of a site.
    I started using the plugin yesterday on another site, and everything went just perfect. Graphs in the Dashboard at backend, graphs at individual pages at frontend. Really nice!
    Today I wanted to install the plugin in another site of mine. I copied all the configurations, manually, from one site to another, autodetected the GA domain, and the counter code is ok for non logged in users, the graphs in the backend are being shown, but the individual pages of the frontend are not showing the graphs.
    I tried deactivating ALL the plugins. Nothing fixed.
    This site is using almost the same plugins that the other where the graphs are working well. Both them use W3TC plugin, CloudFlare and Amazon CDN.

    How can I debug what may be causing the graph to not work? How can I tell if it is able to retrieve data from Google API? maybe it’s a js conflict in the theme, I don’t know. Both sites have almost 40 active plugins and every other feature in both sites are working ok.

    Thanks in advance.

  • Wow! that means you were tracking with and without “blog/” in your URI, which is not a consistent path!

    One site is using the “/blog/” in the permalinks. That one is showing your graphs in the frontend.

    The one which is installed on “/blog/” subfolder is not showing your graphs.

    Any workaround you can think of?

    Probably Google Analytics is not stripping the "/blog/" from your URLs, I think I can handle that from my plugin using $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"].

    Tell me if I can patch some file or if I can download any patch from girhub or the like.

    Just FYI, the new version 4.2.18 didnt solve this issue.
    Any ideas?

    At some point, you’ve probably replaced the Default URL in your Property Settings (I think), that’s why your collected data is not consistent and there is now way for the plugin to “guess” the exact case. I’ll think about it, but currently I have no idea how could I cover those cases.

    Hello Alin, my GA account is configured like this since ages. I originally used a website in plain HTML, running on the main domain. Then I switched to WordPress in a subfolder, and the analytics always worked well and I as I shown above in the link, GA is graphing visits ok.
    The issue with your plugin must rely in the way it process the domain and the permalinks. Please notice the following:

    GA Account is for: marcelopedra.com.ar
    WP siteurl: https://www.marcelopedra.com.ar/blog
    WP home: https://www.marcelopedra.com.ar/blog
    WP install folder: https://www.marcelopedra.com.ar/blog
    Permalink taxonomy: /%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/

    Maybe you’re strippping the subfolder from the string when you query the GAPI from the frontend. Maybe? the would explain why the stats are showing ok in the backend, you simply arent doing a query post by post… Maybe in the frontend you’re asking for the stats for https://www.marcelopedra.com.ar/thetaxonomy, instead of using https://www.marcelopedra.com.ar/blog/thetaxonomy, that it’s the only explanation on why you are getting zeros.

    If you see my gadash.log file (https://www.dropbox.com/s/0v0etolduhv4gvo/gadash.log), you see the right taxonomy being retrieved, but if you appned that to just the domain name, instead the homeurl string, it will likely retrieve the zeros because there are no stats for that URL. Are you with me?

    How can I debug or see what is the exact URL being queried to GAPI? I bet it is https://www.marcelopedra.com.ar/thetaxonomy instead of using https://www.marcelopedra.com.ar/blog/thetaxonomy. Can you check it in your end?
