Google Analytics Tracking Code Error

**GK User** Wed Apr 29, 2015 4:03 pm

I recently migrated from Joomla 2.5 - 3.X so I don't know if that is the reason for this happening. I am no longer getting any data to my Google Analytics account from my website.
I get the error on GA saying: Missing Tracking Code - Page ytown.org for property ytown.org is missing valid tracking code.

I have updated the Google Analytics plugin: http://extensions.joomla.org/extension/ ... -analytics

I am now trying to update/reinsert the tracking code in my website but I am not sure which file it should be in. Could someone tell me where this GA tracking code should go within the template files?

Thanks!

You can set google tracking code via template settings. No other plugins are required.
From what I see currently you didn't setup code in template settings and mentioned plugin doesn't do anything (there is no google code in page sourcecode).

Okay, right, I think it got deleted when I did the migration and had to reinstall the template.

Exactly where do I add the tracking code, which file?

Not in file, in template settings, features section.

Hm, I disabled the plugin I installed.

I entered the tracking ID in the field under features in the template settings. I entered the tracking code in the field just below that. still not getting any data.

Are you using old google analytics or new universal analytics?
Could you please paste code generated by google here?

Not sure, I did do an update sometime in February.

<script>
(function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){
(i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),
m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)
})(window,document,'script','//www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');

ga('create', 'UA-40892640-1', 'auto');
ga('send', 'pageview');

</script>

You can try to manually add this code according to this documentation:

Great! Thank you!
It does seem to be working now, I am getting data.

Seems like I need to report to update our templates to be able to use new google analytics code.
