Anyway, Glad that your analytics is working fine now. :)</p> <p>Regards,<br /> Ismael </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/cache-plugin-causes-problem-for-google-analytics#post-77338 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 23:07:20 +0000 kaylesimon 77338@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Just an update for anyone else having this problem. WP Super Cache stopped Analytics from working for me in this theme; WP Total Cache is not causing the same issue, and analytics is now working again. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/cache-plugin-causes-problem-for-google-analytics#post-77161 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 18:52:00 +0000 kaylesimon 77161@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>My hosting provided (hostgator) made me install WP Super Cache, at which point google analytics started showing zero visits for a site that is getting thousands of hits a day. Looking online I found that several people were having similar issues...not a lot, and it seems to be related to how the analytics code is being handled, but this is definitely a problem for Sentence. </p> <p>So now I'm trying Total Cache.</p> <p>My other solution, I guess, would be to give up Google Analytics and try another analytics plugin, see whether that might work. Any experience here with one that works well for you? I MUST have a cache plugin to avoid dedicated hosting costs for this site...so it's worth a try to avoid that expense. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/tracking-ajax-revealed-portfolio-content-into-google-analytics#post-62475 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 16:04:37 +0000 vendosmedia 62475@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>I've changed the tracking call to</p> <p>_gaq.push(['_trackPageview', '/'+window.location.pathname.substr(1)+'/ajax/'+id]);</p> <p>- so that a preview of "portfolio-item-stub" on /work isn't confused with a view of the actual page /work/portfolio-item-stub.</p> <p>Kevin </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/tracking-ajax-revealed-portfolio-content-into-google-analytics#post-62457 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 14:53:44 +0000 vendosmedia 62457@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hi there</p> <p>Just following up on a previous thread, here: <a href="http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/google-analytics-event-tracking#post-49325" rel="nofollow">http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/google-analytics-event-tracking#post-49325</a></p> <p>Angular is fantastic, but tracking content properly into web analytics is a challenge.</p> <p>In js/avia.js, after line 564 (i.e. at the bottom of the success function) I've added this</p> <p> // GA function<br /> _gaq.push(['_trackPageview', '/'+window.location.pathname.substr(1)+'/'+id]);</p> <p>The result is that portfolio views are tracked into GA as a pageview, e.g. like this</p> <p> /work/1234</p> <p>where 1234 is the ID of the portfolio item in WordPress, and /work is the page that the user is on when they view the portfolio preview.</p> <p>I've then added a filter to GA for each portfolio item:</p> <p> Custom &gt; Advanced<br /> Field A -&gt; Extract A (.*)\/1234(.*)<br /> Field B -&gt; Extract B [leave blank]<br /> Output To -&gt; Constructor $A1/portfolio-item-stub$A2<br /> Field A Required Yes<br /> Field B Required No<br /> Override Output Field Yes<br /> Case-sensitive No</p> <p>This rewrites /work/1234 as /work/portfolio-item-stub in the GA content reports.</p> <p>The tracking behaviour that my placement of the tracking call in avia.js produces is this:</p> <p> - when you first load a portfolio item, a tracking call is fired [great]<br /> - if you close the preview , nothing happens [if you think about the user journey and the way the user sees things, I think this is fine]<br /> - if you load a different item, that second item causes a pageview to be tracked [great]<br /> - if you go back to an item that you previously loaded, a second pageview is NOT tracked [mmm I'd prefer it if another call was fired]<br /> - if you use the arrow buttons to move to the next portfolio preview, it tracks [great]</p> <p>I hope this is helpful for others. It would be good to get some advice on how I can make my pageview call fire when the same item is viewed a second time; and if there's a way of tracking the item stub directly to GA, instead of having to maintain all those GA filters.</p> <p>Many thanks</p> <p>Kevin </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/google-analytics-2#post-48363 Mon, 26 Mar 2012 17:04:19 +0000 Ismael 48363@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hi! </p> <p> Yes, as long as you have it paste on General Options &gt; Google Analytics. </p> <p> Best regards,<br /> Ismael </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/google-analytics-2#post-48361 Mon, 26 Mar 2012 16:51:58 +0000 newuser 48361@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Thanks Ismael for the quick response!

(I don't remember which file I pasted in manually) I am assuming this is counting pageviews/uniques twice?

The reason is that some users (like me) use different analytic tools with different js code and this solution is more versatile. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/google-analytics-id-displayed-below-the-footer#post-39923 Fri, 03 Feb 2012 03:20:26 +0000 realmisr 39923@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>I have the same problem when I just paste the code "UA-######" into it.</p> <p>But if I paste the entire script provided in there then it doesn't come up.</p> <p>Are we supposed to only paste the UA number code or the entire script? </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/google-analytics-id-displayed-below-the-footer#post-39714 Thu, 02 Feb 2012 06:51:34 +0000 Dude 39714@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Can you post a link to your website please? </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/google-analytics-id-displayed-below-the-footer#post-39631 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 16:46:59 +0000 JedE 39631@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>There is a narrow white section just below the footer and the GA code is being displayed.<br /> I turned off plugins to try to fix this and no luck.</p> <p>Please advise. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/google-analytics-1#post-36057 Thu, 29 Dec 2011 11:04:16 +0000 Dude 36057@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Glad that I could help you :) </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/google-analytics-1#post-35977 Fri, 23 Dec 2011 16:42:15 +0000 lcm404 35977@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Cool..Thanks </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/google-analytics-1#post-35910 Fri, 23 Dec 2011 07:42:27 +0000 Dude 35910@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hey! </p> <p> I'd use the <a href="http://inoplugs.com/formidablepro">Formidable</a> contact form because it offers a thank you page out of the box and the lite version is also free. </p> <p> Best regards,<br /> Peter </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/google-analytics-1#post-35888 Fri, 23 Dec 2011 04:51:49 +0000 lcm404 35888@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>I understand...my suggestion would definitely then to pass a virtual pageview to Google Analytics:</p> <p>from the above link: "Use the _trackPageview() method along with a URL you fabricate in order to track clicks from users that do not lead to actual website pages on your site. "</p> <p>Have watched this done this several times on sites where there is lots of ajax features and js. Conversion analysis is super important to me so I hate to be a pain so I will ask what you suggest I do if you can't make it happen? </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/google-analytics-1#post-35772 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 07:11:06 +0000 Dude 35772@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Our form is js/ajax based because many users prefer ajax over page redirections, confirmation pages, etc. Even Contact form 7 would require a redirect: <a href="http://contactform7.com/blog/2009/11/24/tracking-form-submissions-with-google-analytics/" rel="nofollow">http://contactform7.com/blog/2009/11/24/tracking-form-submissions-with-google-analytics/</a> - the only plugin I know which supports a thank you page is <a href="http://inoplugs.com/formidablepro">Formidable</a>. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/google-analytics-1#post-35767 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 06:28:48 +0000 lcm404 35767@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Yeah sure no problem. Ok so...where do I begin. Easiest way to put it is google needs a unique page that is used as the "Goal Confirmation Page". Thank you pages ("hey thanks for filling out this form") are only accessed after submitting a form (in theory and for the most part)...or in more advanced configurations a confirmation page after a purchase. Google Analytics has more advanced conversion analysis for ecommerce sites for the latter purpose which is not what I am suggesting. What I want to take advantage of is the basic conversion tracking features...you know based on email leads from the website this allows for us to know how different traffic sources and campaigns perform. </p> <p>Let me know if thats clear...if something was built into the template then I would say leave the design the way it is and understand this:</p> <p><a href="http://code.google.com/apis/analytics/docs/tracking/asyncMigrationExamples.html#VirtualPageviews" rel="nofollow">http://code.google.com/apis/analytics/docs/tracking/asyncMigrationExamples.html#VirtualPageviews</a></p> <p>Then there would be very little to do as a "fake" page view would be passed to GA and that is what would be used as the Thank you/Goal Confirmation page...and would be very sweet. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/google-analytics-1#post-35737 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 03:10:31 +0000 Chris Beard 35737@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hey,</p> <p>I have no idea what you mean by a thank you page. Could you elaborate what you're trying to achieve? </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/google-analytics-1#post-35633 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 08:04:49 +0000 lcm404 35633@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>What do you think the best way for me to end up with a thank you page I can provide to GA for conversion tracking? I am familiar with the options either being to pass a "virtual page view" explained in the Google Analytics documentation or actual have a unique thank you page. Either case that thank you page is required for basic conversion analysis..which I just gotta have. </p> <p>Any thoughts? </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/i-want-a-thank-you-page-after-a-user-submits-the-contact-form-to-track-convers#post-31071 Thu, 03 Nov 2011 07:47:28 +0000 Dude 31071@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>In js/avia.js delete following code:<br /> <pre><code>// enhances contact form with ajax capabilities if(jQuery.fn.kriesi_ajax_form) jQuery(&#39;.ajax_form&#39;).kriesi_ajax_form();</code></pre> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/i-want-a-thank-you-page-after-a-user-submits-the-contact-form-to-track-convers#post-31046 Thu, 03 Nov 2011 03:46:34 +0000 sitebuildr 31046@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>Where do I remove this from?
