Hi @jdiamondprogressive,
Can you confirm the version you are using? If it is not the latest (v2.4) can you update the plugin to the latest version and re-try?
Thanks

Thanks for reporting it @jdiamondprogressive. Cna you reproduce it on CF7? If so, can you give me the steps? Thanks…

Hmm… if you can give me exact steps to reproduce the problem, i can help. Otherwise, it is really hard to hunt down the bug because other plugins installed might be conflicting too. Btw, are you using the shortcode implementation or “hassle-free” implementation from here

I did the exact same testing you said. And I have confirmed the fields populated in the form. Do you see the UTM data in backend for the two forms (/leannelee and /contact)?

I have just made a test on your website but I could not reproduce the issue.

I opted in and landed on thank you page, navigated around and still had the cookie

Glad to help, good luck!

Hi Sylvain,

To my knowledge, GA only tracks if there is utm_ parameters attached to the URL. I do not think it checks the REFERRER to populate utm_source if it is not provided in the URL. That’d be really cool if it did though. Second, Even though, you would get the utm_source from GA, you would not be able to associate it with the prospect as the data in GA is completely (or almost) anonymous.

So, to answer for your question, unfortunately HandL UTM Grabber can’t get the info from GA. It only allows you to capture the UTMs as long as they are present in the URL and access them whenever you need it -on the same domain- (using client’s COOKIE).

Let me know if you have another question,

Thanks,

Haktan

Hi Sylvain,

I am not sure what you mean by “However how can I grab this info not from the URL but from the Google Analytics data?”. Utm_campaign, utm_source and all the other utm_ parameters are the native parameters used in Google Analytics for tracking.

For example, if you sharing a link in Twitter simply mode your URL to https://www.apptamin.com/get-your-video/?utm_source=Twitter_Example1 so you would capture if someone comes to your webpage clicking that link. I am not sure if this answers your question but feel free to write back to me if you still have question.

OK I think I know the problem. Usage of the shortcode in form elements do not work in WordPress. That’s why you need to use “INPUT FIELD WRAPPER“

To give you an example from your code:
Instead of
<div class="_form_element _field12 _full_width "><input name="field[12]" type="hidden" value="[utm_source]" /></div>

you should use this
[utm_source_i]<div class="_form_element _field12 _full_width "><input type="hidden" name="field[12]" value="%s" /></div>[/utm_source_i]

OR simply assign proper class to your elements. See HASSLE FREE IMPLEMENTATION (NO SHORTCODE)

Example
<div class="_form_element _field12 _full_width "><input name="field[12]" type="hidden" value="[utm_source]" class="utm_source" /></div>

Hope it resolves the problem you are having, let us know either way.

Hi @kellykirk2010,

I think there is something wrong at Step 2. Can you give me more info on how you added the shortcodes in the AC form? Can you share me the code? and the URL where you have the form?

Thanks,

I will mark this as resolved for the time being. You are welcome to follow up with the same topic.

Can you give an example to help us understand your question? Do you mean default value for a UTM field? like utm_campaign=New+Campaign?

I appreciate if you can confirm that it is working for you as well @wpkmi.

Hi wpkmi,

Just want to update you on the new version – v2.4.

Note for you: Instead of changing the shortcode, I have just fixed the usage to make it backwards compatible ??

Good eye ?? Thanks. I will fix and update the plugin…
