Thanks!

It looks like our tracking script is already output on all of the filter results pages, but each view is getting counted as a homepage view. We’ll need to create an integration with this plugin to get the proper details to display in our analytics menu. We will work on this in the next update, and I can follow-up here once we have it figured out.

Hi there,

Thanks for using Independent Analytics!

All of the page types that are native to WordPress get tracked, but we can add an integration to track dynamic pages created by a plugin. Could you let me know which plugin is being used to create these filter pages?

Thanks for using Independent Analytics!

We detect and ignore bots from Facebook/Meta, so these would either be real visitors or malicious bots posing as human visitors. For better protection against bad bots, we recommend using either the Shield Security plugin or the Cloudflare CDN (both free). They both have the ability to detect and block bots posing as humans. This will block the bots from accessing the site entirely and keep them out of the analytics.

Hi Emanuel,

Please check your Google Ads account and make sure that all of the links include the 3 required campaign parameters:

• utm_source
• utm_medium
• utm_campaign

Since other campaigns are being found, we known that the campaign tracking is working on the site. This means the links coming from the Google Ads must not include all three required parameters yet. This should be an easy adjustment to make in your GA account, and then you will saw traffic from the ads appear in the Campaigns report.

Hi Emanuel,

Thanks for using Independent Analytics Pro!

When saving a report, the main PAGES report is never modified. You should see a new custom report listed below in the sidebar, like this: https://d.pr/i/GAiXKH. You can save all of the changes you need in one of your custom reports, and if you want it to load first when you view the Analytics menu, you can click the Make default button: https://d.pr/i/O2boRf

Okay I understand now. The View Duration and Session Duration are different metrics. For example, the view duration is how long someone looked at one page, while the session duration is how long they spent on the website, which includes every page they viewed before leaving.

Imagine you have three pages each with an average view duration of 2 minutes. If the average visitor looks at two pages, then the average session duration is going to be about 4 minutes.

Thanks for the review.

Here is how the Average Session Duration metric is calculated: https://independentwp.com/knowledgebase/data/what-is-session-duration/

Could you let me know if there is an issue, in particular, you are seeing with this data on your website?

Thanks for using Mission News!

Please try importing this file instead and let me know if it works: download file here

Mission News Pro is compatible with all PHP versions from 5.4-8.2.

Okay thanks for letting me know.

We will look into this error message and see if we can resolve it in our next update. For now, the message is only a deprecation warning, so there isn’t any broken functionality – it’s just a note for developers to make a change. If you turn off debugging, you won’t see this message anywhere on the site. You can disable debugging by flipping the WP_DEBUG constant to false in your wp-config.php file:

define('WP_DEBUG', false);

If you’d like to continue capturing error messages in your log, you could use the following code instead to save messages to the debug.log file, while preventing them from displaying anywhere on the site:

define('WP_DEBUG', true);
define('WP_DEBUG_LOG', true);
define('WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false);

You’re welcome!

Stay in touch if you need anything else, and I’ll be happy to help.

Okay that makes sense. If you have data from the advertising platform, you could also compare stats there to make sure it lines up.

I’m not seeing anything that is running incorrectly right now. Do you have another stats plugin you can compare data with? I am wondering if a traffic source is no longer delivering the same volume of traffic, like an ad campaign that has concluded.

Thanks for getting in touch about this.

I am able to recreate this error and I have a couple of ways to fix it. First, if you check your network admin email’s inbox, you should have an email asking you to confirm your account. That will resolve the issue.

Alternatively, you can visit this URL on your website and delete the Independent Analytics account: website.com/wp-admin/network/admin.php?page=freemius

Then deactivate and reactivate the plugin. This time, on the opt-in page, click the “Skip” button and then you will be able to access the Analytics menu in all of the sub-sites.

You’re welcome!

Stay in touch if you need anything else, and I’ll be happy to help.

Sure thing!

Yea that’s doable too. Please replace the previous snippet with this code instead, and it will add the extra space:

@media all and (max-width: 799px) {

  .post-categories span {
    margin-right: 100%;
    margin-bottom: 12px;
  }
  .post-tags span {
    margin-bottom: 12px;
  }
}
