I can see that the GTM4WP inserts the scripts on line 6 of the head. There’s only a few <meta> and <link> entries above it.

One thing I have noticed is that the script to add the data-layer coming from GTM4WP is entered before the GTM container. I was under the impression that the Google Tag needed to fire first before the datalayer… is that not correct?

Not sure if any of these points help, but here’s a few more notes on my config…

I’m using WooCommerce and have installed the Advanced eCom Datalayer based on GTM4WP documentation.

The website also has “Facebook for WooCommerce” “Google for WooCommerce” “Elementor Pro” amongst other plugins.

There’s Google Ads running and the associated Google Ads Conversion Tags also applied through GTM.

Seriously struggling to figure out this container placement issue, so any help is appreciated.

I’m using Shoptimizer and also getting the error…

Any advice how to resolve would be highly appreciated!

I have the same issue. ComplianZ premium with GTM container added through the plugin. GTM4WP adds the data layer for eCommerce event tracking.

Traffic seems to be either Direct or Unassigned after setting up this configuration. Which is obviously affecting conversion data for Google Ads.

We’ve had the same problem happening on and off, throughout this year, on several of our client’s websites. We’ve been back and forth with WP Engine’s support who each time blamed other caching plugins and systems like WP Rocket or CloudFlare. Then once we’d removed those and the problem persisted, their support just kept pointing to custom “Cache Exclusions” for WooCommerce pages, even though the default Woo pages are already set in their default cache exclusions list and we have not changed urls for the pages.

This post and the answers by @wi11?and @wearestructure have been an absolute break through for us. Thanks!

I still find it incredible how WP Engine support aren’t aware of the fact that the “MailChimp for WooCommerce” plugin isn’t compatible with Varnish Caching. I’m still waiting to hear back from my account manager as to why this plugin hasn’t been added to their banned plugin list.

Hopefully if more people point out this issue to WP Engine support, they might do something more about the issue.

Same issue here. Has anyone resolved this problem?

Further to this I have also tried the following…

add_action('woocommerce_checkout_create_order', 'before_checkout_create_order', 20, 2);
function before_checkout_create_order( $order, $data ) {
$method_id = $order->get_method_id();
$instance_id = $order->get_instance_id();
if( $instance_id = '9' ) {
$order->update_meta_data( 'royal_mail_shipping_code', 'SD1' );
}
if( $instance_id = '8' ) {
$order->update_meta_data( 'royal_mail_shipping_code', 'TPS48' );
}
else $order->update_meta_data( 'royal_mail_shipping_code', 'No Value' );
} 

This resulted in the error “SyntaxError: Unexpected token F in JSON at position 1”
appearing when I try and place a test order.

I’m obviously no PHP developer, so any further help with this would be hugely appreciated.

Hi John,

Thanks for getting back to me.

As both of my shipping rules use the Method “table_rate”, I’m guessing all I need to do is check the “instance_id” in my ‘if’ statement. I’ve tried the following, but it doesn’t seem to work…

add_action('woocommerce_checkout_create_order', 'before_checkout_create_order', 20, 2);
function before_checkout_create_order( $order, $data ) {
    if( $order->get_instance_id('9' ) { 
    $order->update_meta_data( 'royal_mail_shipping_code', 'SD1' );
    }
	if( $order->get_instance_id('8') ) { 
    $order->update_meta_data( 'royal_mail_shipping_code', 'TPS48' );
    }
    else $order->update_meta_data( 'royal_mail_shipping_code', 'No Value' );
}

Any further help with this would be hugely appreciated.

This is definitely needed. Currently if the user disables Strictly Necessary cookies, nothing is disabled. By their nature, Strictly Necessary Cookies are… Strictly Necessary and therefore they do not need consent. Please add this feature, or just remove the control, then you’ll have a fantastic solution here!

I’m also looking for a method of adding ReCaptcha to the Campaign Monitor HTML form. Is this not possible using the method outlined for adding to any custom form?

Hi Gwnbox,

I’m also looking for a way to achieve this. Have you managed to get any further with it?

Hi There,

This was the first thing I tried, but unfortunately the plugin still caused a lot of errors. A completely blank white page kept loading, plus the payment gateway notifications were not getting through.

If these errors aren’t caused by the “Long URLs” and “Suspicious Query Strings” settings, is there anything else that could cause these issues?

Kind Regards,

Luke Breen

Sorry, I understand this may not be the best place to ask but I’m struggling to find anywhere else…

I’m getting an error on my Sharing Settings page that states:

“Warning! Multibyte support missing!

This plugin will work without it, but multibyte support is used if available. You may see minor problems with Tweets and other sharing services.”

I think this issue is effecting the Publize feature of the jetpack plugin. How do I fix the issue? I have no idea what it means and the only link I’ve found sends me here: https://www.php.net/manual/en/mbstring.installation.php

Is this an issue with how my hosting account is set up or is there an error with the theme, or wp install??

Bump…

I’d also love to know how to make this plugin responsive. It’s great for a simple easy to use gallery, but I can’t seem to control the width at all.

Has anybody worked this out yet?
