Google Analytics or Clicky tracking
-
Dear @lauramas
Just wondering if you have placed the 'page' & 'pageview' Function within a 'newpage event' :
<script> window.laytheme.on('newpageshown', function(){ ga('set', 'page', location.pathname); ga('send', 'pageview'); }); </script>More on this topic:

Hi Richard, not sure what you mean precisely, I'm not very familiar with coding and javascript language unfortunately :? Would it be possible for you to send me precisely the whole thing I need to copy and paste under "Custom <head> Content" so I can better understand what you mean? :P Sorry and thank you :)

Dear @lauramas
Above - here is code provided by Armin:
<script> window.ga=window.ga||function(){(ga.q=ga.q||[]).push(arguments)};ga.l=+new Date; ga('create', 'UA-XXXXXX-X', 'auto'); // Replace the following lines with the plugins you want to use. ga('require', 'eventTracker'); ga('require', 'outboundLinkTracker'); ga('require', 'urlChangeTracker'); // ... ga('send', 'pageview'); </script> <script async src="https://www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js"></script> <script async src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/autotrack/2.4.1/autotrack.js"></script> <script> window.laytheme.on('newpageshown', function(){ ga('set', 'page', location.pathname); ga('send', 'pageview'); }); </script>Then he asks that you replace Replace UA-XXXXXX-X with your tracking ID.
Then in your google analytics dashboard go to
"Behaviour" → "Website Content" → "All Pages"
And then make sure to select the date range that covers the current dayIn Lay Options - Custom CSS & HTML ( located in the lefthand admin bar ) you will find an area called 'Custom <head> Content' - This is where you must paste the above code and remember to save/update at the bottom of that page.
Hope this helps! :)
Best wishes & have a wonderful day

Hi Richard, sorry for the super delayed reply on this, but I only had time to check your comment now. Thanks for your instructions, although the google analytics tracking still doesn't work (it's been a few months already) and I also couldn't find the sections that you mentioned on the google analytics board from your following comment:
"Then in your google analytics dashboard go to
"Behaviour" → "Website Content" → "All Pages"
And then make sure to select the date range that covers the current day"There's simply no 'Behaviour' section on google analytics. I'm sending some screenshots of what the code looks like on my website and of my google analytics dashboard, please let me know in case there's anything that I need to change.
Thanks and best,
Laura

Hey,
according to this
https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/analyticsjs/single-page-applicationsIt seems like you're doing things right.
Is the code executed correctly?
Can you do a console.log("hello") in here like:
window.laytheme.on("newpageshown", function(){
console.log("hello");
ga("set", …
});if the code is executed you should see a "hello" in your console:
Please always post your website address where you experience the issue. Cause right now I can't take a look at your website and see if maybe anything in the code throws an error that stops the analytics code from executing.

Hi @arminunruh thanks for the reply, only saw this now...!
So I tried this console but I don't really know what it means and where exactly to do it, would it be possible to give you my login details for somebody to have a look at it? I think at this point would be the easiest because I really can't solve the problem. My website is www.laura-mas.com but let me know and I can send you per chat the details :)
Best,

Hey everybody.
So I set up google analytics by myself today and looked at how it works.
Turns out, nowadays there's nothing we specific we need to do to make it work with Lay Theme.Just the standard way of setting it up is enough.
I still created a YouTube video though so you can see how to set it up cause it can be a little bit confusing.
The video is being uploaded so it should be avaiable in a few minutes.
Have a great day
Before you post:
- When using a WordPress Cache plugin, disable it or clear your cache.
- Update Lay Theme and all Lay Theme Addons
- Disable all Plugins
- Go to Lay Options → Custom CSS & HTML, click "Turn Off All Custom Code", click "Save Changes"
This often solves issues you might run into
When you post:
