Yoast Upgrade Causing GA Tracking Code to Disappear?

  • Hey y’all. I am really just looking to see if anyone else has seen anything like this. Everything was chugging a long fine and then one day in November I went into Google Analytics and noticed traffic on my company’s blog went from double digit thousands to less than 100.

    Between 10/30 – 11/12 page views completely tanked. From what I know the only things that changed for me during that time were yoast plugin updates…and I think that’s it.

    I don’t know if Yoast was the cause or really what the issue could be as I have not found really any reports on the web.

    Can anyone help?

  • I’m having something similar happen on four sites… ??

    At least, I think it’s the same issue.

    With the most recent update, EVERY site that I’ve updated (four now – I’m not doing any more!) has had the same result: When I run the updated through WP updater, it kicks out the following error message:

    Failed to fetch the new data from Google Analytics. Please reauthenticate on the settings page!

    I got one of the sites to authenticate…I think. Except now the site isn’t displaying the UA code at all, and it’s giving me the following UA code:

    Please configure your Google Analytics settings!

    I’ve tried re-authenticating (although the button still says “authenticate” not “re-authenticate”), I’ve tried to “Save Changes,” but nothing seems to work.

    @katmaxin, I think our two issues may be related. If you find an answer, please let me know.

    (If they’re not related issues… my apologies. ?? )

    This is not an issue in WordPress SEO, but in Google Analytics by Yoast. Please read this post to test the beta-solution.
