TL;DR

AI summary of the plugin's readme

This plugin is for WordPress site owners who want Google Analytics tracking and reporting without routing data through third-party auth. It solves the problem of privacy-concerned users needing a direct Google Analytics integration after the original GADWP plugin's auth process began exposing API keys to third-party access.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about GAinWP Google Analytics Integration for WP

In Google Analytics, go to Admin → Data streams and open your web stream. The Measurement ID starts with G-.

GA4 only reports custom parameters you register. The GA4 setup tab under Settings → Google Analytics lists the ones your settings send, such as content_author, content_category and component_name. In Google Analytics, go to Admin → Data display → Custom definitions and create an event-scoped custom dimension for each. Content type, content ID and content group are built into GA4.

Under Settings → Google Analytics → Forms, set the forms that bring you business to Lead (every form sends form_complete until you do). In Google Analytics, mark generate_lead (and sign_up, if you use it) as a key event. Mark generate_lead, not GA4's own form_submit, which counts every submit attempt. Give leads a value under Goals to see the value they bring in GA4 and Google Ads.

Gravity Forms, Contact Form 7 and WPForms (Lite and Pro). Contact Form 7 counts a submission once its email has been sent, which is when it reports success. Other plugins and themes can send their own events with gainwp.track() or the PHP recorder (see below).

Yes. Most banner plugins set Google Consent Mode themselves, so leave "Consent mode default" set to "Not set". Choose a denied option only if your banner sends consent updates but doesn't set defaults.

View the source of any page while logged out and look for the GAinWP comment followed by the Google tag. Settings → Google Analytics also shows what is being sent. Logged-in users in excluded roles are not tracked, so test from a private browser window.

Use only one plugin to add the Google tag, or page views are counted twice. Site Kit can show reports without adding the tag if you turn off its "Place Google Analytics code" setting. If Site Kit's plugin conversion tracking is on, also turn it off when GAinWP tracks your forms, or leads count twice. GAinWP warns you when it sees either overlap.

Developers can use these hooks: gainwp_gtag_config (filter): parameters of the gtag('config') command. gainwp_page_data (filter): page attributes before they are sent, keyed by parameter name (content_author, ...). Keys from 6.0 (author, ...) are still mapped. gainwp_exclude_tracking (filter): return true to skip tracking for the current request. For page output it runs after the query is parsed, so conditional tags such as is_page() work; it also runs when an event is recorded on the server, such as a login or form submission, with a second argument 'event' (page output passes 'page'). gainwp_event (filter): change an event recorded on the server, or return null to drop it. gainwp_event_recorded (action): runs when an event recorded on the server is queued, for example to react to a lead. gainwp_integrations (filter): add or remove integrations (classes implementing GAinWP\Integrations\Integration, or FormSource for form plugins). An integration's ajax_events() names the browser events, such as a form plugin's success event, after which events recorded during an AJAX request are sent. gainwp_consent_regions (filter): regions where consent defaults to denied. gainwp_scroll_thresholds (filter): scroll depth percentages. gainwp_gtag_script_path (filter): gtag.js URL, for example to use a proxy. gainwp_tagmanager_datalayer (action): change data layer variables with the tracker's get() and set() methods. gainwp_gtag_commands still runs but is deprecated in favor of gainwp_gtag_config. To send your own events from JavaScript, call gainwp.track( 'event_name', { parameter: 'value' } ); it works in both tracking modes and honors opt-outs. From PHP, call \GAinWP\Plugin::instance()->recorder()->record( 'event_name', array( 'parameter' => 'value' ) ); the event is sent from the visitor's browser on their next page view, or right away after an AJAX submission in a supported form plugin.
