    After activation I’m getting “>’); at the very top of each page. Is this something I have set incorrectly?

      @RWilkin, Thanks. The code looks broken. Are you using any plugin to minify inline JavaScript code? Have you specified your Google Analytics ID in the settings?

    If I implemented GTM and want to remove this from the site now, do I just delete the tracking ID?

      @Jared, If you just deactivate the plugin it will remove the code from each page.

    Hello, I have installed Global Site Tag plugin in our website: https://npfinancials.com.au/
    We already had Google Analytics for our website.
    We installed Global Site Tag plugin to make sure that Google Analytics code is moved to the top of the tags for all pages.
    Can you please check and let me know that I have installed your plugin properly.
    Many thanks,
    Regards,
    Partha

      @Partha, I couldn’t find the code on your site. Are you using a plugin to combine/compress scripts?

    Hello, thank you for your response. I noticed that, I am using the following script related plugins:

      @Partha, Thanks. I don’t think the header and footer plugin is doing the minification (it’s just for adding the code). The HTML of your site looks compressed and I see this script: https://npfinancials.com.au/wp-content/cache/autoptimize/js/autoptimize_ef60fdc8417dc55e9fc15f18959d4ba9.js

        @Noor, thank you for your response. So what does it mean? Your plugin is moving Google Analytics code to the top of the tags for each page or not? If not, how to do it please?

    I have installed the plugin for WordPress and also added the extension. When I click on the tag extension, it says no tags found. I am at the site http://aaronsmithphd.com. Using GLobal site tracking v. 1 I have confirmed the tracking ID from Google Analytics.

    Don’t understand why it’s not showing up.

      @Aaron, What tag extension are you referring to? I can see the tracking code on your site.

      • Aaron says

        The Google Tag Code on Chome – that is what I’m not seeing pick up the tags.

    How long does this plugin take to start tracking data from my website?

    Reply
    • Noor Alam says

      @Jethro, The plugin doesn’t track your data. It adds the necessary code so Google can do it. Please provide a link to the website where you are using it.

    Hello,

    I have the plugin up and running on my site but don’t show that it is working with my google analytics account. Is there a way to check on this?

    Reply
    • Noor Alam says

      @Devin, Open a page on your website where you are not logged in. Right Click > View page source and check if the code that you entered in the settings is present.

    Can I ask if this will take account of the change in the Google tag to the .js type?

    Reply
    • Noor Alam says

      @Stuart, Can you please elaborate?

      Reply
      • Stuart Walker says

        So I received a notice from Google that we should update our tracking code to the .js type.

        I was just wondering if I really need to do that or whether your plugin takes care of it.

          @Stuart, Thanks. Were you using another plugin when this notice appeared?

    I have installed your Global Site Tag Tracking Plugin and it was so simple. My question is, will it also integrate with my Event snippet?

    Thanks!

      @Tera, I’m not sure. I have only tested it with Google Analytics.
