Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about GA Google Analytics – Connect Google Analytics to WordPress
Check out the top of this page, first section provides the steps to add GA4 to your site.
This article should help to get a better idea of the changes: History of Google Analytics
If you check the source code of your pages and don't see the GA tracking code, check the following: Check that your theme includes the hooks, wp_head and wp_footer If you are using a caching plugin, try clearing the cache If the GA tracking code still is not displayed, most likely there is interference from another plugin or theme. In this case, the best way to resolve the issue is to do some basic WordPress troubleshooting.
You need to wait 24-48 hours (or longer) for Google to collect some data. Just takes time for Googlebot to crawl your pages, collect and process data, etc. For more information, check out the Google Analytics Help Center.
Yes, you can use the gap_custom_code filter hook.
Here are the steps: Enable Universal Analytics in the plugin settings Add the Optimize plugin (e.g., ga('require', 'GTM-XXXXXX');) to the setting, "Custom GA Code" Add the Page Hiding (flicker) snippet to the setting, "Custom <head> Code" Enable the setting, "Custom <head> Location"
More info about Google Optimize.
Here are the steps: Add the following code to the plugin setting, "Custom Code": <script>window['ga-disable-UA-XXXXX-Y'] = true;</script> Check the box to enable the setting, "Custom Code Location".
By default the plugin includes the auto parameter in the tracking code: ga('create', 'GA-123456789000', 'auto');
First disable the auto parameter by adding the following code to WordPress functions or custom plugin: // GA Google Analytics - Disable auto parameter function ga_google_analytics_enable_auto($enable) { return false; } add_filter('ga_google_analytics_enable_auto', 'ga_google_analytics_enable_auto'); Now that auto is disabled, you can replace it with your own parameter(s). For example, to implement Universal Analytics Site Speed Sample Rate, enter the following code in the plugin setting "Custom Tracker Objects": {'siteSpeedSampleRate': 100} Save changes and done. The resulting tracking code will now look like this: ga('create', 'GA-123456789000', {'siteSpeedSampleRate': 100}); So can adjust things as needed to add any parameters that are required.
