Found

Hi Collabrax,

As your code suggests you should do something like
$analytics = $cf7->posted_data[“analytics”];

the posted_data key should be the name of the Found field you chose when you created the form.

I hope this is useful,

Thanks,
Dora

Hi davidr314,

Can you please let me know what theme you are using. I had this issue reported by another user and we worked out it was his theme’s fault.
It might be the same thing here, so we should be able to provide you an easy fix.

Thanks,
Dora

Hi Stephen,

Can you please move the [Found ] tag before the submit tag, i suspect that might be causing issues.
If that doesn’t do the trick, please send me the details to your wp admin and i’ll take it from there.
My email is [email protected]

Thanks,
Dora

Hi Stephen,

Please let me know your form’s page url and I’ll try to assist you as much as I can.
The issue is most likely a css/theme one, the plugin works fine with the default wordpress theme.

Thanks,
Dora

Hi Orly,

That is right, the absence of analytics data is due to missing google analytics cookies and that is most likely happening because users have chosen to block cookies.
The funny date you are seeing there is the unix epoch – the date time starts being measured in unix. As the time we expect to collect from the cookie is null, the dates default to the “beginning of time” as it is defined by unix.

Hi,

Thank you for your kind words and we’re happy to see you are using our plugin.

Regarding the blank data – the plugin reads the google analytics cookies in order to provide the information. So when blank data is coming through, it has to be because either – google analytics is not installed on the site (or not properly installed) – which is not your case as it does work most of the times, or the users have blocked cookies via browser settings.
It is not something we can interfere with or force people to use cookies, we can just provide an insight when the data is there.
I hope this is useful to you, any other questions, please let us know and we will be happy to help.

Thanks,
Dora

Hi Restrive,

The plugin cannot and will not interfere with the google analytics goals.
I had a look at your contact form and i understand what your problem is.
You need to add a redirect after a successful submission to a “Thank you” page, and use that page as your analytics goal page url.
Alternatively, you can trigger an event or virtual pageview at submission time using the CF7 instructions, then use these to define your goals.

Thanks,
Dora

Super! Glad to have been of help!
Please let me know if you run into more issues with the plugin and i’ll do my best to help you debug.

Thanks,
Dora

Hi,

Great to hear that helped!
The quotes around the utmctr probably don’t help, so can you please change the term to plain text only, no spaces to start with and go through the process again?

Thanks,
Dora

Hi,

I run the cookie parsing algorithm on your data and i got the following:
Google Analytics information:

——————————————–
Campaign Source: google
Campaign Name: AKH-Ro-LP
Campaign Medium: PPC
Campaign Term: clinica austria
Campaign Content: PPC

So as you can see, it’s correctly parsed.
Can you please clear your browser cookies, clear your cache and go to your site via the manually tagged url?

It should be fine.

Thanks,
Dora

Oh, sorry didn’t see the end of the string.
Checking and i’ll update you as soon as i find the solution.

Thanks,
Dora

Hi ilians,

I had a quick look at the cookie info you provided and was able to spot a little issue.
According to google the __utmz cookie format is:

__utmz=XXXX.TTTTT.V.C.utmccn=<campaign>|utmcsr=<source>|
utmcmd=<medium>|utmctr=<keyword>

The Plugin uses the utmccn variable to populate the campaign name info and that is missing from your cookie info.
You need to tweak your tracking url’s in order to include it.

Thanks,
Dora

Closing this,

Thanks illians for the help!

Hi illians,

Thanks for getting in touch and glad you’re finding the plugin useful.
In order to see the campaign name, your campaign url’s need to be manually tagged. Can you please try this, test and let me know how you get on?

Thanks,
Dora

Hi Pete,

Do you have contact form 7 to db activated?
If you do, can you please enable the option that allows you to store the cookies in the db with every submission?
That way we’ll be able to see if your Analytics Cookies that are relevant to this plugin get set.

Thanks,
Dora
