Hi, the database they link to is undergoing maintenance today.

It’s also listed here at the old site: https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2019-20180

Edit: Looks like the new Wordfence is alerting to older CVEs now, hence this alert

And again, it doesn’t HAVE a connected UA property. When I created a NEW UA property as directed, it created a new GA4 property in Google Analytics, instead of using the one that was selected.

So, no, if you’re just using a GA4 property, this plugin will not work for you.

I don’t know what to tell you. I followed your directions, tried all the options, and none of them were able to get the all the data in the GA4 property as expected.

Turning this on just resulted in us NOT having data for the time period in question… so, it doesn’t work properly with a standalone GA4 property. It just doesn’t.

And yes, I understand that in theory, both properties should see the data, but they don’t. Being connected to ANY UA property seems to screw up the Google Analytics view data on the Google Analytics site for the GA4 property.

So, IDK, but it isn’t working right, and after trying to troubleshoot, it sounds like there is no way to even get it to do the same thing as just using the gtag for the GA4 property – even if that’s theoretically what it’s doing.

It just does not work the same. I don’t know why. Everything seems to be “working”, but it isn’t.

Will do! Thanks @jamesosborne .

Hopefully it’ll be updated to fully support GA4 properties in the future!

Yeah, I just uninstalled Site Kit and went back to using the GA4 property gtag.

It isn’t working as described. I don’t know what the problem is. I appreciate that you’re just working on the Site Kit plugin, but there is a bigger issue somewhere and I don’t have time to troubleshoot it.

It works better without the Site Kit by Google plugin. So, thanks anyways.

Okay, I agree, Google Analytics says its receiving data… but it doesn’t show it on the screen for the GA property IF the UA tag is included on the page.

It literally doesn’t show any traffic on the GA4 property in Google Analytics IF the UA tag snippet is inserted. If the tag is not inserted for the UA property, the GA4 property seems to be acting like it should…

For example, looking at the Realtime pages under both properties, from what you’ve described, I would expect to see the same information (number of users, etc), and I don’t.

If the UA snippet is inserted, I see the data on the UA property. If the UA snippet is NOT inserted, I see the data on the GA4 property.

There is no configuration where I can see the data on BOTH Google Analytics properties.

So, how are they both recording? That doesn’t make sense, and it’s not what I’m seeing.

Okay, I’ve done that, and I’m still having the issue that if this is selected:

Place Universal Analytics code
Site Kit will add the UA code automatically.

Then the GA4 property doesn’t ‘see’ any of the traffic, it all goes to the UA property? I would expect if BOTH tags are placed, then BOTH tags would see the traffic, but they don’t.

Is this the expected behavior?

Okay, fine.

So, how do I setup a NEW UA property to use with it?

Thanks!

I do see that I can now tell it not to insert the incorrect UA code… and, now it seems to be sending to the correct property in Google Analytics, but missed all the data from yesterday?

So, I think it’s working with this set:

Universal Analytics Code Snippet
Snippet is not inserted

So, thanks… I’m still not sure why, if Google is phasing out the UA tags, that I would have to connect a NEW GA4 tag to an old UA tag…

Hi @jamesosborne ,

Okay, but the associated UA property still isn’t the right property, and now it’s mixing all the data.

How can I create a NEW UA property to go with this GA4 property so that the data is actually attributed correctly?

This is getting more complicated than just setting it up myself… why does it insist on being connected to a UA property?

Thanks!

Hey @jamesosborne,

It looked like it was working til yesterday’s update!

Now, I can’t see the data in Google Analytics when looking at the GA4 property. But, I can still see it through the dashboard.

Help! What happened?

Thanks!

Does that mean that inside the Site Kit, it’s actually displaying the data for the wrong property?

Or, just the wrong settings type?

Thanks!

Okay, maybe this should be reflected in that documentation I linked earlier, cause it’s really confusing.

I guess I’ll leave it as it is, because it is working now.

Weird note though about how it’s displaying on the actual Google Analytics site, before, if I was looking at this data, it would show me the name of the GA4 property on the top, and since this change, it now just shows ‘All accounts’ with the drop down, it doesn’t display this account as the chosen account anymore.

But, thanks for all your help, and thanks for the site compliment!

Okay,

I am seeing the Google Analytics Properties in the drop-down.

The GA4 property does not have an associated UA property. It does not exist. When I view it on Google Analytics, it shows the owner account, and then this property. There is no associated UA property. And, since it’s been discontinued, I couldn’t even set one up, from what I see.

I can see it in Google Analytics fine. I don’t have any trouble or errors with it on the actually Google Analytics site.

And, yes, the only GA tracking ID ends in 9087-3, so it appears to be the one that should be disabled.

And, I submitted your form.

Thanks,

Hi, I’m having this save problem!

And, I looked at the source code, and the only UA- property tag on the page is this one (that looks like it’s from site kit – cause it doesn’t match any of our GA properties):

var _googlesitekitTrackingData = {"referenceSiteURL":"xxxx.xxx","userIDHash":"xxx","isAuthenticated":true,"activeModules":["search-console","analytics","pagespeed-insights"],"isSiteKitScreen":false,"trackingEnabled":false,"trackingID":"UA-000000000-3"};

I promise that the trackingID does not match any in our properties, or even any in the list.. But, the code says googlesitkitTrackingData, so where is it coming from?

Edit: And this is the error message I see on the backend trying to set it up:

You need to connect the Universal Analytics property that’s associated with this Google Analytics 4 property.

Any ideas about how to fix this?

Thanks!
